Although we’d all wish it were real, relationships aren’t as simple as fairytales. They are more complicated than most people realize, particularly when two of you commit some of the frequent relationships mistakes. The majority of relationship mistakes can be fixed but that’s an excellent thing. As of the time I last looked, there was no guidance for a partner who is misunderstood, or who crosses the boundaries of your relationship. There is an endless process of trial and trial and. Many mistakes and being tolerant.
As an ex-Daily Violence Victim Advocate as well as a Planned Parenthood Certified Responsible Sexuality Education Specialist, one of the most significant aspects of my job was helping couples deal with massive issues. The thing I discovered from my work was that a majority of the massive, impossible issues started as small issues. These small issues went unresolved until they grew to the point that there was virtually no chance of recovery.
You’re intelligent. Knowledge is power. Now that you are aware of these frequent mistakes in relationships and how to rectify them so that you stay clear of the path that can lead to resentment and anger. You are in the right direction for positivity and love.
1. Not Setting Up Boundaries

Setting boundaries that aren’t clear is perhaps the largest and most frequent issue I’ve seen in relationships. If we don’t show one another how we would like to behave, the other will never be able to. Boundaries are vital for maintaining peace and maintaining respect within a relationship.
The Solution If your partner is doing or saying something that is uncomfortable for you You must inform them of your feelings. This is the way to gently set boundaries. Try using phrases such as “Instead of X, it would be more beneficial for me if you say Y.” Instead of shouting, “I would rather you did your best to cool down.” It is also possible to be more direct like “I do not want you to declare “I hate you” to me in the future even when we’re playing.” Boundary is a result of.
2. Not Voicing Concerns
Your partner may not be flawless, and you shouldn’t assume that they will never have a mistake. However you shouldn’t be constantly a critic. Both of these scenarios can lead to anger, frustration and resentment on both sides.
The Solution It is important to know the difference between situations that are something that you can leave, and when you must make a statement. It’s a difficult process and requires time. However, it’s well worth the effort. If you don’t, the little issues that bother you could become big regrets.
3. Not Being Independent
One plus one doesn’t mean one. Many people get distracted within relationships. This isn’t healthy. Insuring your independence and fostering relationship is the best method to take, otherwise you’re creating this codependent soup that causes more problems than it resolves.
The Solution: Do what you want occasionally. Meet and socialize with your acquaintances. Continue to pursue your interests and striving to achieve your personal goals. Take time to be alone with yourself. It is important to live an independent life from your relationship.
4. Making Unrealistic Promises
If you make promises that are not realistic which means that you’ll eventually breach your promises. It’s a great chance to destroy the trust that you’ve worked long to create within your connections. It is better to avoid making promises you won’t be able to keep.
The Solution In lieu instead of declaring “I will never harm you” tell them, “I will do my best to not harm you.” Instead of saying “I’ll take care of it” each time you encounter an issue, say “we’ll manage the issue together.”
5. Depending On Each Other Too Much
If you’re completely dependent upon one person, then what would you do if your relationship breaks up abruptly? Being dependent isn’t healthy. It’s not just making things more difficult when the relationship breaks up however, it can also leave you in a bind with a limited number of choices.
The Solution It is essential to be in a position to stand by yourself as an individual person should your relationship end. Find out what you need to achieve that goal and then go for it even if it’s small steps. Learn how to ride the bus. Participate in online classes. Some independence can make positive changes to relationships, no matter if it isn’t your first thought.
6. Not Making Time For Play
Play can do wonders for the friendship element in your relationships. Couples who love to play together, in any way that is beneficial to their relationship! They love each other’s company.
The Solution Play! Play around. Sing songs. Dance. Have fun. Go on dates. Enjoy funny films. Make jokes. Do silly things. Laugh. Anything to make your partner smile, and experience the joyous happiness of being together.
7. Getting Lazy With Affection And Romance
Humans require touch to live and the chemicals that are within your brain that produce the love-filled feelings thrive on contact. A relationship that isn’t touched is doomed to fail.
The Solution: Create routines, with your fist, such as constantly kissing goodbye or hugging every time you get home. And, as you think about it, include tiny things such as grabbing a knee while on the subway, or holding hands during the time of Netflix or simply touching when you’re out running through your daily chores.
8. Trying Too Hard To Please Each Other
Over-committing and trying too much creates unrealistic expectations that always will result in disappointment. It’s not possible to do everything and be all things to everyone else however you would like to. This is particularly problematic when the same person is doing all the things that make a relationship enjoyable.
The Solution Do your best to be your most authentic self. Allow your partner to focus on becoming their most authentic self. You’ll be in a groove quickly. Be nice to one another naturally. Be willing to go the extra mile occasionally but not every time you perform something. It’s not long-term.
9. Not Communicating Changing Needs And Feelings
Couples are able to be a couple who split or become closer. For a relationship to develop it is necessary to continue making the effort to get to know one another repeatedly every month, or year-after-year. If you’re not talking to each other emotionally, then you’ll eventually end your relationship.
The Solution Talk frequently. Talk about the most important issues like work, hobbies children, family, and jobs regularly. Ask questions. Help each other through periods of change and growth. Learn some of the aspects that are important to your partner.
10. Not Appreciating The Small Things
The big things are great However, the majority of our lives are made up of small things. If you’re not awestruck by the small things and often treat them as huge things, you’re bound for a lifetime of discontent.
The Solution You can say “thank you” whenever you notice your partner is doing things, even if it’s something minor such as emptying the trash after you turn to do it, or keeping doors open. Be grateful for one another. Make it a point to be aware of every little thing your partner is doing for you that could otherwise be overlooked. Making gas or buying you a cup of coffee could be an effective way to show the love of your life.
11. Not Doing The Work
Relations are difficult. They’re hard work. Sometimes, it’s necessary to ignore how you’re exhausted and need to get home since you said you’d be going somewhere with your companion. Sometimes, you must fight hard to stop criticism and find a more soothing way to express your emotions. This is all part of being human. If you are too comfortable with your relationship and become lazy, you’re likely to have a difficult time.
The Solution: You have to be able to complete the task. There’s only one way to put that. Sometimes, you must suck it up and do something that you do not want to do. If you and your relationship are worthy, you’ll be able to come up with a solution.
It’s impossible to stay clear of making any errors. The good thing about this is the chance it gives you to grow and be the best friend you could ever be. Since no one is #RelationshipGoals by accident.
