Don’t compare your partner to other partners/ your past or the relationship to other relationships - won’t do you any good, will hurt your partner and will definitely sabotage that new found romance.
2. Keep the past in the past
Don’t bring in your past relationship baggage - fears, concerns and negative experiences, to your current relationship. Avoid over sharing and interrogating about past experiences.
Focus on who you are dating and getting to know them.
3. Refrain from being needy
Constantly texting, calling, or making demands on your partner of their time and restricting them from doing things they were doing before you started dating - red flags! You’ll be stressing them out and poof there goes your new found flame.
4. Look at actions more than words
Read their actions rather than believing every word they say - if they say they want you but are unavailable now, does it really matter?
5. Don’t cancel on time with friends & family
It’s common for couples in new relationships to do this - but by creating some distance and with the anticipation of seeing them is going to deepen that attraction - they say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”
6. Be honest with your partner & most importantly with yourself
Relationships are built on trust & honesty is the foundation for trust. So if you want it to last - just be honest & you can’t be honest with your partner unless you are honest about how you’re feeling on your own.
