When we're in a relationship, sometimes we don't realise we often get too comfortable. Don't get me wrong. Getting comfortable is not necessarily a bad thing. It's getting TOO uncomfortable that you have to be worried about.
I ran across this interesting and helpful article that might help those who feel that their partner might have stepped into their dark, comfort zone.
How To Make A Relationship Work
There are some points which I find interesting:
- The truth is that relationships are like bank accounts ... if you persistently draw out more than you put in your bank account will soon be empty.
- Too many people feel taken for granted, abused or neglected by their partner but do not speak up for fear of losing the relationship. Consequently resentment builds up and festers for years until they eventually explode because they cannot take it anymore.
- Married couples who have been together for years understand the importance of togetherness. Your partner should not just be the person you go to bed with ... you certainly need to make time to hang out with the person you love.
- Talk to your partner and if you're the one who has to listen, listen well. Cause it helps to know you actually listen and are trying to understand us.
- Please just don't take your significant other for granted. It doesn't matter if you are just into a relationship or almost nearing your wedding date or have been married for 38 years. It's never good to feel forgotten. Make an effort to give more than just some promises you made at the beginning of the relationship.
