If you have ever or are doing any of the following 5 things, you should work on being a better person for the sake of your relationship.
1. You don’t take your partner’s feelings into consideration
A key thing to be in a relationship is to be empathetic, you have to learn to be less defensive especially when confronted by your partner. If they are complaining about something, then it is time for you to do something about it. For a relationship to work, it takes the two of you to be considerate about the other person’s feelings.
2. You talk about leaving the relationship every time you have a misunderstanding.
A healthy relationship doesn’t mean a misunderstanding free zone, all long lasting relationships go through tough times and what makes it healthy is how they resolve their differences. So if you keep talking about ending the relationship every time you fight, eventually your partner will begin to get the message that you can’t stick the long term and stop taking you seriously.

In a generation of the internet and social media, it is easy to get carried away and not pay attention to the ones who matter to us the most. So, don’t just go on dates, keep your phones at home and just talk and enjoy the company of each other. Spending quality time together is a sure way of strengthening your bond.
5. 𝓢𝓮𝔁 is a chore to you
