12 Ways You Screw Up Your Own Relationship And Don’t Even Know It

7. You begin losing your individuality

It’s not cool to depend on your partner to complete you. We complete ourselves, and if we can’t, nobody else can either. Each time you plan and base things as per your partner’s likes, dislikes, and convenience, a little bit of your individuality dies a silent death.

Of course, relationships are all about adjustments and compromise, and everyone must make some, but don’t make a habit of it. Keep a 50/50 balance. Apart from living for others, you also need to learn how to own your own life. Celebrate your uniqueness, embrace your individuality, and only then can you, as a couple, celebrate your differences. This won’t just empower and liberate you, but your partner will also respect you a lot more – win-win!

8. You don’t give enough space

Just like you need your individuality, you also need to respect your partner’s. Being in a relationship does not mean being stuck together 24/7 – it means giving each other sufficient space to be on their own and do what they enjoy doing – not always with you.

When you give each other a healthy amount of space, you are actually breathing new life into your relationship and you both will enjoy and appreciate each other’s company more. The bonus – you’ll have new and different things to talk about too!
