Relationships 101
Have you been in a relationship for long and things are starting to get shaky and pretty boring? Well, you’re not alone! There are many people out there who are sharing your feelings and you’d be surprised at how many people can relate to you right now!
What can probably be the reason why your relationship is not as good as it used to be? Surely, this is one of the questions you have in mind. In this blog, we will try to address five issues regarding relationships.
First Issue:
Relationships are more important to women than to men.
The notion that relationships are more important to women than it is to men is so not true! This is only fuelled by the fact that women are more likely to express and show their feelings about the relationship than men. However, this does not mean that men care less. For a relationship to work, you need to understand that every man’s brain is wired in a way that they must always be in control of the situation. Men love control and power. Letting their emotions get in the way makes them feel vulnerable and out of control. This is why men prefer to hold back emotions. As a result, people tend to perceive their indifference as lack of concern and emotion in the relationship. Do not be misled by this wrong idea. Your man loves you as much as you love him. He’s just not used to being emotional and showy.
Second Issue:
Too much jealousy kills a relationship.
This is one of the most common issues in a relationship. A little bit of jealousy is healthy at times because being jealous lets your partner feel treasured and loved. The fact that you’re being jealous is enough proof that you want him/ her bad enough. However, too much jealousy can really kill a relationship. Jealousy is a powerful emotion that can be manifested in a thousand ways. If jealousy is not handled properly, it can turn into violence and other unhealthy actions. A constantly jealous partner is undoubtedly not fun to be with.
Third Issue:
Women are too emotional in relationships.
It is true that women are very emotional with regard to relationships. But you have to take note that women are very emotional creatures; not only in relationships but also in some other things. Being emotional is a woman’s way to unload her baggage; this is her coping mechanism. Unless you understand this tendency, you will never get along well with a woman.
Fourth Issue:
Men were never attached in a relationship
This is in line with the notion that men are less loving and emotional. This is likewise false. Men also get attached in a relationship; they are just not fond of showing it. A man’s brain works differently from a woman. It can function objectively and apart from his emotion (most of the time) unlike a woman whose brain is intertwined with her emotions. This can lead many people to believe that men don’t get attached in relationships.
Fifth Issue:
The relationship gets boring after some time
This may or may not be true in relationships. The excitement that a relationship brings depends on how it is handled by the couples. If things are handled lazily, things will surely feel boring. But if a relationship is treated with some effort and dedication, it will surely remain happy and exciting.
Some relationships lose its spark as time goes by because the relationship feels like a routine and nothing new is coming. While this may be true, you need to know that this can be avoided! This is just an excuse for people who are too lazy to put some serious effort in maintaining the relationship in good shape. This starts when people are not putting the same effort they did in the beginning of the relationship. The key here is consistency and willingness to make a relationship work out.
