15 Hard Pills to Swallow About Relationships
2 min readMar 20, 2021
- Your partner should be kind to you and vice versa. If you wouldn’t accept the behaviour from a friend then you absolutely should not accept it from a partner.
- You can’t look for someone to be your other half, you have to learn how to be a whole person on your own. This means being able to take care of your own emotional needs.
- They aren’t going to magically know you’re upset with them. Be direct.
- You can’t ever truly repair the damage from breaking someone’s trust.
- Loosing your identity within a relationship is easy to do. Finding it again isn’t, remember to keep your friends & hobbies.
- Sometimes you’ll be abusive without being aware of it.
- It’s perfectly okay to want some space every once in a while between you and your partner.
- Love isn’t everything. Two people can love each other deeply while being terrible for each other, treating each other poorly, all the love in the world doesn’t compensate for a lack of growth.
- If someone is going to cheat, there is no stopping them by checking their phone or where they go. They are going to cheat regardless.
- It’s easy to dismiss toxic characteristics because of love
- Sometimes one of the partners is going to need to carry the weight for a while, whether it’s emotionally, financially or mentally.
- You could do everything right and still loose them.
- That physical ABUSE is NEVER in anyway a sign of showing love.
- Familial relationships also need the effort that all other types get or else they will fall part.
- Wrong person, right time is a thing, but so is right person, wrong time. And sometimes things just aren’t meant to be.
