These 5 Relationship Myths Are Time to Forget: Rethink Your Relationship
13.02.2024 17:10
Just like every person, every relationship is different: different dynamics and communication methods can work well in a relationship.
This is why general advice and ideas circulating in the public consciousness about what relationships should be like are so dangerous.
These types of “myths” are destructive and cause couples to believe that they are heading in the wrong direction or even that their relationship cannot be saved.
If you don't want your relationship to suffer a similar fate, take a look at the list below: it is recommended to forget these false statements once and for all!
Ideal relationships should be easy
This is perhaps the most damaging misconception anyone has heard – and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Relationships take a lot of work.
There is no doubt that at first, rose-colored glasses will take care of everything for us, but once this stage is over and reality sets in, it will take a lot of effort from both parties to maintain a healthy relationship.
Life can always present unexpected situations, and let's not forget that all people have emotional baggage, and sooner or later it will remind us of itself.
The only question is whether you are able or willing to manage it effectively.
There are no quarrels in a good relationship
There is no doubt that quarrels are unpleasant, no matter what the human relationship, but they are still necessary.
It's a very utopian and incredible idea that two people understand each other so well that there are simply no disagreements between them - this only happens in Hollywood movies.
If you're in a completely non-controversial relationship, you're more likely to keep quiet about problems to avoid conflict.
This is harmful to a person in the long run, especially in terms of relationships, since in this case, daily life is based on lies.
We need to spend as much time together as possible.
A good relationship does not mean that you have to do everything together, organize joint programs together. It is much more useful to give each other space for your own hobbies, spending time with friends or any other activity.
What's more, this can even be true for time spent in the bedroom: If you need it, give the other person time to explore their own body, whether with a vibrator or other accessory, or on their own.
This keeps you both separate individuals while allowing you to come closer again and again after long distances have been overcome.
A partner should complement you
In many romantic movies and wedding vows, we hear lovers talk about their partner being their soulmate – but this is not the best idea.
Relationships can actually be healthy if you've already lived a full life before, and weren't just looking for someone to fill a gaping void.
Of course, this doesn't mean that relationships can't have a healing effect on you, and that you can't feel even better when you live in a loving and safe environment. However, it's important not to get lost in it!
Your partner's needs are more important than your own.
When you love someone, it's not easy, but you have to be careful not to submit to them. Remember, your partner's needs are just as important as yours!
If your partner truly loves you and treats you as an equal in the relationship, you will come to a compromise naturally.
