Here’s how you can tell if you’re going overboard to make your relationship work

Different people have different attitudes towards their relationship.

While some people let the seed of affection grow on its own and do not worry about the consequences, others go an extraordinary mile to keep their bond alive and going.

Although, it’s never too bad to put an extra effort into your relationship, however, it can seem a bit too much if you try too hard to make it work, even when your partner fails to reciprocate that love towards you.

One must understand that a dying relationship will never be the same as before and even if you try to revive it by hook or by crook, it’ll just be a loveless relationship where both the partners are obligated to be together.

So before you commit that mistake, here’s how you can find out if you’re going over the board to make your relationship work.

Well, compromising in your relationship is okay until and unless you’re always doing it to make your partner happy. There is a huge difference between understanding your partner’s needs and compromising your happiness for the sake of your partner. And if you’re resorting to the latter then it’s just a matter of time when your relationship will fall and it’ll seem like a waste of effort.

In order to make a relationship work, both you and your partner must put in the efforts. But if it’s only you who’s doing that, then there’s a serious problem in your relationship and you’re just trying too hard to make it work.

Being in a relationship does not mean you stop focusing on yourself and give all your love and affection to your partner. You must learn to cut yourself some slack too. But if you’re trying extra hard to please your partner and prioritizing their needs over yours, without them doing the same, then surely you’re just trying too hard and will lose yourself in the process.

Are you and your partner always quarreling? And are much of those quarrels initiate by your partner? But most importantly are you the one who is always sorry? If the answer to all these questions is ‘yes’, then it’s a very obvious sign that you are trying way too much to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner.

There’s no doubt that everyone goes through their own set of problems. That being said, if you’re letting your problems take a backbench and are always trying to resolve your partner’s issues first, then it’s a clear sign that you’re trying way too hard to make your relationship work. How about taking care of yourself first and then prioritizing others. May be that will be more proper for the future.

One thing that determines your over-the-board attempt to keep your relationship working is your anxiety regarding a break-up. That means if you’re constantly worried about a break up, it’s only natural that you’ll try to avoid it by trying to make your partner happy and contented. But one thing you must know is that if it’s meant to happen, it will and there is no use sacrificing your happiness for it.
