Marital hatred can potentially tear apart any couple, and the psychological and long-term effects are devastating. The overall sentiment becomes negative; both couples view each other as enemies, creating an environment where love and partnership cannot exist.
No matter what, your partner does not have the right to invade every moment of your privacy or monitor your every move. That’s a prison cell, not a relationship.
Over time, the little digs and jabs caused me to question whether or not I was valid in my feelings or if I was dramatic and ridiculous.
Your partner can’t be everything at once; an intimate relationship is different from a friendship.
At least half of the group answered incorrectly, with their girlfriends beside them. Yes, the video could have been staged, but be honest: oversights or lack of attention to seemingly effortless details can be earth-shattering.
Scheduling intimacy as a whole may seem a bit boring in theory, but the reality is that you have to make time for it, or else you may start feeling less connected to your partner. It can give you something to look forward to because if you take the time to have open conversations, you may learn something new about the other person’s personal preferences.
Recently I saw a single close friend who made an off-handed remark that she won’t ever date someone who has just gotten out of a serious relationship.
When asked why she answered, “They play the role of a boyfriend because it’s what they are used to, which makes it hurt more when they don’t commit to a relationship.”
An ideal partner will create a space where you can be honest and transparent with them, and you won’t need to hide any part of yourself.
