Falling in love with someone is easy. The hardest part is building a healthy and sustainable relationship.
When falling in love, we tend to get drawn to the positives of our partners. But building a lasting relationship requires tolerance of both the negatives and positives. When this fails, so does the relationship.
As much as the reasons why relationships fail may vary from one couple to another, there are many ways to mend a breaking relationship, including investing in dating books for men and women. Here is a list of the five most common ones.
Unrealistic Expectations
One of the gravest mistakes people make in a relationship is expecting too much from their partners. At the initial stages of the relationship, expectations are low and easy to fulfill. The infatuation stage follows, and expectations begin to get more complicated, though most people overlook their partners’ flaws. Beyond these stages, partners become more realistic and expect too much from each other.
This is where some differences crop up, and people tend to find it hard to tolerate each other.
Miscommunication
Good communication is the pillar of a healthy and sustainable relationship. Hiding things from your partner may create a communication barrier, resulting in cracks in your relationship. Lack of proper communication can make you feel isolated, forcing you to look for love and affection elsewhere. Additionally, miscommunication may lead to the accumulation of negative feelings, leading to your relationship’s failure.
Egoism
As they say, love does not break hearts; ego does. Ego can ruin even the strongest relationship. The best relationship is based on understanding and concern for each other. On the other hand, the ego is about ones’ desires, self-esteem, and self. Most people tend to expect compromises from their partners to satisfy their ego, which is never good for a relationship. On the contrary, you should exchange love and support in place of self-centeredness.
Trust Issues
They say trust and loyalty are the foundation of any relationship. In the absence of these, a relationship is destined to fail. Lack of trust in a relationship can be a result of possessiveness, unfaithfulness, and insecurities. Lack of trust creates relationship insecurities. That means the relationship can never thrive where there are trust issues.
Lack of Compatibility
Being in a relationship means two individuals with different sets of interests, likes, and dislikes coming together in companionship. This means it is possible not to like what your partner wants. But you need to find common ground to work on your differences, and that is what a compatible relationship is about. Learn to respect your partner’s desires and adjust accordingly, lest you want to see the relationship fall apart.
Various problems and mistakes can lead to a fail relationship. Committing to work on yourself, supporting each other, and trying every possible way to keep the relationship on track are some of the solutions to a failing relationship. But not everything is about the current relationship. Some problems are carried from your previous engagements. Learn to move on from a long-term relationship. This will help you work on your past to make your present better.
