Whether you are happy in your relationship or not, where you want to take your relationship is entirely on you.
While external advice works sometimes, you also need to take charge of the situation and navigate the waters yourself.
In which case, staying from these dreadful pieces of advice can help you safeguard your relationship – Here’s a list of them below:
1. “Stay mum. Arguing will lead you nowhere”
Red flag! Red flag! Red flag! No matter how bad the situation is, never stay mum and take things lying low merely because you fear to lose the person. Becoming objective about the case and understanding where you both went wrong will give you a clear idea of where you stand. If you feel you are at the receiving end of the brunt for no reason, you might as well voice your opinions. After all, it takes two to make a relationship!
2. “You must change him/her”
No fingers are the same, and likewise, no two people can ever be the same! Accept each other for who you are. Trying to change your partner could be one of the most problematic things you could do. Allow yourself to grow with your significant other while both of you embark on this journey together!
3. “Take the reins in your hands”
A relationship is all about maintaining a balance. You win some, and you lose some. Strutting around wanting to take the reins in your hand will only create unnecessary frustrations and misunderstandings. The constant shift of control and power will only lead to deeper issues which will eventually put a strain on your bond with your partner. So, No!
4. “So what? It’s fine to check his/her phone!”
What can not scream ‘bad manners’ in this statement! Don’t give in to such advice and check your partner’s phone, no matter how grave the situation has come down to. You may suspect him/her to be cheating on you or not being serious about the relationship, but this does not in any way give you a headway into sneaking your way into your partner’s phone. Keep away!
