Do you think happy love stories are for others? There are some mistakes you should avoid to increase your level of satisfaction in love relationships.
According to author Jane Greer, PhD in relationship psychology, quoted by WomensHealth.com magazine , there are some behaviors that have the potential to destroy our love life. You have to identify these behaviors and after you become aware of them, work with yourself to not repeat the mistakes.
Too "available"
The temptation to abandon the plans you made when a new partner/partner calls you and proposes to see you is very great. But it is better not to give in to this temptation. If you see each other only and only when he or she is available you will accumulate frustrations and feel that you are doing everything as the other dictates. And it wouldn't be wrong, that's exactly how the relationship will play out. Therefore, compromise is the healthy way to go, and dating, like all other decisions that require you to work together, should be beneficial for both of you, not just one of you.
Falling into routine
"It's easy to get stuck in your comfort zone without realizing it," says Dr. Greer. If you do the same things all the time and are not at all willing to change your daily schedule to explore new territories and meet new people, love will not appear either. A full schedule, in which you take care of rest, but also of your hobbies, parties and going out will eventually lead to a safe outcome: you will be ready to meet someone new" and you will know how to take advantage of any opportunity that arises in this direction.
Talk about "exes"
No matter how annoying your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend is, the chances that someone new will want to hear endless stories about their previous relationship are slim to none. The advice of specialists is to avoid such conversations on the first dates, but once you feel more comfortable you should also explore this area, because resentments from former lives can do a lot of damage to the current relationship. "There are situations where your romantic energy is still stuck in the past and you have to find a way to move on," Greer explains. Read More…
