You have been together for two years and everything is going perfect up to a point. It seems as if you have reached the apex and the only place left to go is down. You are now asking yourself, “What did I do wrong?” Here are four things that can destroy your relationship.
1. Cohabitation—It might seem progressive, but in actuality this can cause your relationship to take one step backwards. Despite the fact that you go out together every week and talk on the phone continuously, this is not a substantial reason for you to live together. Everyone has their unique home regiments that are hard to adapt to; they may be peculiar as to how they arrange their furniture or what time they go to bed. Whatever it is, co- existing within the confines of a home is always something challenging. Try spending some weekends with the person first to see if you could live together.
2. The Blackberry Phenomenon—Have you ever been with someone and they are constantly on their phone sending emails or reading text? It is most annoying. You are not in a relationship with your phone; you are in a relationship with a person. Couples need to spend time together to make the relationship successful. If you need to use your phone, use it appropriately. When you are spending quality time with the one you love, put your phone on silent or turn it off!
3. Unplanned Pregnancy—Be honest with yourself; if you are in a relationship just for sex or basic companionship, make sure that you are using a reputable contraceptive plan. If you are going to have sex in a consistent manner, use a contraceptive plan other than a condom. Condoms can break, especially the inferior ones, and if this happens when she is ovulating, this can mean trouble. Whether we want to admit it or not, pregnancy changes a lot of things and if we are not prepared to adapt to the changes, it can be quite frustrating.
4. Being Argumentative—Don’t try to make an argument out of every conversation. If you are having a casual discussion, the things that are said are not intended to be taken seriously. If you are having a verbal dispute everyday, it is a clear sign the relationship is going down the wrong path.
