Things to avoid doing in romantic relationships: Therapist suggests
From expectations to problems to dominance, here are a few things that we need to avoid doing in romantic relationships.
In romantic relationships, we often assume that the other person will be able to meet all the expectations that we have for them. We also have a dreamy vision about love, which makes reality more difficult. Because real life love is not the type that we see in movies. There are major road bumps, there are good times, there are difficult times, and the sailing gets easier when two people involved in it are ready to compromise, communicate and put in efforts to keep it going. A relationship, after the initial phase of firecrackers, takes immense efforts from both ends to make it beautiful and long-lasting.
