A relationship requires effort from both parties to keep it moving. Relationships are very fragile and require attention.
There are some habits that can ruin your relationship and cause your partner to leave you if you don’t stop them.
However, most people don't realise they have bad habits until someone points them out, which sometimes happens when the damage has already been done.
Below are some of the behaviours that can hurt your relationship:
1. Comparing your partner to others or your ex. Nobody likes being compared to other people. We are all quite different. If your ex was that perfect you would still be with him/her. Stop the comparison else your partner may be forced to end the relationship.
2. Taking your partner for granted. Learn to appreciate your partner. Do not assume that all that happens is normal otherwise, your partner might stop bothering to please you. When you keep taking your partner for granted, he or she will soon get fed up and walk away.
3. Never accepting blame. Some people don't like shouldering the blame even if they are the cause of the problem. You can’t keep putting all the blame on your partner, learn to accept blame even if it’s a little.
4. Invading your partner's privacy. Some people are so insecure with their partner such that thy suspect whatever they do in private. If your partner trusts and respects you, why invade his/her privacy?
5. Trying to change your partner. Some people have a negative perspective towards their partners and advocate change in them. You are not perfect either so stop trying to mold your partner into what you want them to be. Think about how you feel when someone tries to do the same thing to you.
