Never Assume These 6 Things Are Normal In a Relationship
1. Not fighting
Arguing can be a healthy part of a relationship because it shows you care enough to communicate your feelings and come up with a solution to the current issue. It will be difficult to know how to handle the large problems if you haven’t been able to overcome the little things together.
2. Engaging in PDA constantly
Couples kiss in public. That is healthy and recommended. Especially for women, knowing that you are not ashamed to show the whole world how you feel about us makes us truly feel like a princess. But when it reaches the point of making bystanders uncomfortable, it may actually show a lack of real communication. Keep the kisses quick and leave the rest to when you are at home.
3. Trying to improve one another
You should push each other to be your best selves, but don’t go so far that your partner feels like they are your project. There is no such thing as a perfect person. Expecting your partner to one day be perfect by following your example is just setting them up for failure. You will never be pleased with the results.
4. Spying
Are you snooping through his emails and sock drawers? If you are always suspecting him to be hiding something from you, then maybe you are not as trusting as you think. Have confidence in your partner. Unless he shows obvious signs of cheating or something of that sort, there is no reason for you to be worried about his faithfulness.
5. Constantly comparing them to your ex
You chose your partner for a reason. If you keep looking at the past and comparing your current relationship to it, you may set unrealistic expectations for you and/or your partner.
6. Doing EVERYTHING together
You spend all of your free time with your partner. If this is you, ask yourself this question, “Am I allowed to see my other friends?” If you are choosing to spend your time with your love, that is one thing. But if you are feeling forced to replace them with your partner, this is not healthy and can be a sign of abu$e or a very controlling companion.
