10 Mistakes you shouldn’t make at the beginning of a relationship
If you are newly in love and want to make sure your relationship stands the test of time, all you have to do is avoid these mistakes you shouldn’t make at the beginning of your relationship.
1. Expect your partner to change.
Don’t even consider asking them to change or expecting them to modify their behaviour. It just won’t happen. If you can’t be happy with them as they are, one of you will be disappointed.
2. Pointing out all the faults
Your partner has flaws that is to know if you can deal with the flaws your partner is finding.
3. Not being yourself:
Sometimes,we are likely to want to impress the other person that we become someone else.Don’t lie about hobbies,change clothes and friends just to satisfy the person.It is only good for any relationship when you are being yourself.
4. Lack of communication
Communication is one of the main ingredients of a good relationship. Once you lose communication,you might as well not be in relationship.
5. Dishonesty and keeping secrets
A relationship built on lies cannot stand.It is as exemplary as that.You have to be truthful to your partner and let them know all the important details they need to know or it is only a matter of time before the relationship hits the rocks.
6. Being too clingy and needy
If you need them to always be around, be in constant contact, or always put you first, the person you’re dating will feel suffocated. Give them space to live their life and take some time to get on with doing your job without them.
7. Badmouthing your ex(es)
Constantly badmouthing your ex does not make you look good. Your current partner doesn’t want to make the relationship about your ex(s) and everything they did wrong whenever they wanted to spend time with you.
8. Ignoring the red flags
The desire to find “your person” can be so strong that you forget about the red flags. These flags are serious warnings that you may be in danger or that this new person in your life will violate your moral and ethical boundaries.
9. Losing romance
After a while,it’s easy to lose romance and stop putting effort into dating your partner. Don’t start taking them for granted because you’ve already received them and don’t think they’re going anywhere.
10. Being nosy about your finances
When you’re obsessively living in your finances, it can be offensive.
It’s okay to expect your partner to reveal their financial statement when marriage talks start, but you should always try to ask them about their finances, you can come off like a gold digger even if you don’t intend to.
