10 Things To Never Give Up Because Of A Relationship

1. Your Self-esteem/ Confidence/ Self-beleif
We Should never forget who we are and what
our goals and ambitions are in life. A
healthy relationship should give us a sense
of security to be able to be all that we can
be.
2. Your Independence- personal and financial
Even if your in the best relationship in the
world it is always important to value yourself
and have some time enjoying the things you
like to do even if your partner doesn’t share
the same interest. Also You should have
some financial security and a separate bank
account, knowing you have that security and
choose to stay in a relationship gives you
the certainty that your in that relationship
for all the right reasons.
3. Your right to decide for yourself- Freedom
of choice Nobody appreciate people
criticizing them regarding every little matter
or trying to control their every move. People
have the right to choose for themselves and
the dynamics of the relationship should be a
win- win situation.
4. Your right to be you Everybody changes a
certain amount when in a relationship
however; it is essential not to loose your
own identity. If someone really cares for you
they will love and adore the real you rather
than trying to change you.
5. Your Happiness Sometimes the fear of
being alone tricks us into staying in a
relationship that makes us miserable; this is
the worse thing we can do to ourselves, if
you feel unhappy and unappreciated you
should take a good look at the relationship
that you in.
6. Your dreams and goals You should never
give up on your dreams for the sake of a
relationship; if someone stands between you
and your dreams it only shows how insecure
they are. In happy relationships partners
encourage each other to fulfill their dreams.
7. Existing relationships that are important
to you Your partner should respect you and
your existing relationships with your close
friends; they shouldn’t show any negativity
towards your friends or try to prevent you
from continuing your friendship. Good friends
are hard to come by these days and we
should cherish the ones we have.
8. Your self-respect Sometimes in a
relationship we cross self-respecting
boundaries that should have never been
crossed. If you allow yourself to be treated in
a disrespectful way this is a major red flag
that this relationship is not good for you.
You should never allow anybody to treat you
in a disrespectful way.
9. Your Identity- don’t morph into your
partner too much and lose yourself in the
process In a relationship we try to become
more and more like our partner their habits,
interest and etc… there is nothing wrong with
this process as this helps with the bonding
process however, when one takes on too
many characteristics of their partner they
start to loose their own identity and stop
making decisions on their own resulting in
loosing their true identity.
10.Your decision-making power As a couple
we tend to loose the ability of making a
decision on are own and choose to make all
the decisions with the help of our partner. I
agree that the important decisions should be
made together however, the small day to day
decisions can be done without the input of
both parties. This way we get to keep some
of our decision making independence without
it having a negative effect on our
relationship.
Relationships are hard and take allot of work
but, with the right knowledge; we all can
have a Happy and Healthy relationship.
