3 underrated reasons why your relationship isn’t going smoothly

The list of things that could prevent relationship from working smoothly are, in a way, inexhaustible; with each relationship having its own peculiar set of issues yet to be resolved.


Over time, some things may have become recognized as recurrent problems people in different relationships face. Cheating, unfaithfulness, disloyalty are some of such common, well-publicized relationship worries.

On the other hand, there are relationship misbehaviours that people hardly pay attention to.

Relationship issues that are left to grow unchecked and fester unhindered as people hardly pay any attention to their badness and their underrated ability to wreck relationships.

Three of these common but hardly-discussed relationship behaviours are listed here below:

1. Overthinking

People overthink their relationships, their partner’s actions, their partner’s words and so many things. It’s not said as frequently as it should be; but really, and really, that’s just not good enough.

Many times, overthink and overanalyze things many times is because they do not have a strong foundation of communication with their significant other.

2. You don’t overlook

Communication is great for the growth and continued-existence of any relationship. However, as it is with every other great thing in life, too much of it isn’t so good.

While it is difficult to state matter-of-factly that there’s such thing as communicating too much, we can, at least, conclude that communicating your hurts too much, too frequently could be a problem in your relationship.

3. Preconceived notions

Who told you that the major thing your woman wants is money? And who told you that sex is your man’s greatest need? You cannot afford to go into a relationship armed with notions that are not influenced by the person you are dating at that period.

While some opinions about relationships may be popular, correct and even useful in your past relationship, they aren’t necessarily applicable to that new guy, or the new babe you just began a relationship with.
