This type of negative behaviour not only harms you This type of negative behaviour not only harms your partner, but it also harms you and the overall health of your relationship. It’s important to learn how to identify and manage your anger in a healthy way so that you can build deeper, more meaningful connections with the people you love. Some useful ways to manage your anger include:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Practice mindfulness: Take a moment to notice when you're feeling angry or irritated and acknowledge it without judgment. This can help you understand the root cause of your emotions and respond in a more useful way.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Communicate effectively: Express your feelings clearly and calmly to your partner. Avoid blame and criticism, and instead, focus on finding a solution together.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Take a break: If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to step away from the situation for a little while. Go for a walk, take a deep breath, or do something that helps you relax.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Find healthy outlets: Engage in activities that help you release pent-up emotions in a healthy way, such as exercise, writing, or art..​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Seek to understand the reason behind the anger: Sometimes, anger is a cover-up emotion for fear, hurt, or sadness. By understanding the underlying cause, you can work on resolving the problem and move past the anger.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Remember, managing anger and irritation takes time and practice, but by being mindful and proactive, you can improve your relationships and build deeper intimacy with the people you love.​​​​​​​​

For the little upsets it’s best to forgive your For the little upsets it’s best to forgive your partner fast. Holding grudges doesn’t help a situation it only makes it harder to repair after conflict.

By forgiving quickly you’re giving your partner a chance to acknowledge and work on whatever behaviour it was that hurt you. This helps to create a safe space for them and you to work on whatever happened. In doing so you’re creating a growth opportunity to make your relationship even stronger.

Abusive relationships crush your self-esteem to th Abusive relationships crush your self-esteem to the point where it can feel like no one else will want you. What I’m here to tell you is that there are way better people out there who will love you, treat you with kindness, and respect you.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Abusive relationships are especially hard to leave when the abusive partner is breadcrumbing you with affection. Some days they might be kind to you, or some moments, and then turn on you. This cycle of abuse can be really confusing as it leaves you longing for their affection but instead getting abused.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The time to leave an abusive relationship is as soon as possible. Long-term abuse will erode your confidence and self-esteem. Abusers deliberately clip the wings of their victims as a way to control them.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A loving partner will support you and help you to become the best version of yourself. There are loving people out there who would love you as their partner. Leaving an abusive relationship is the first step to getting your life back and in time finding a better partner so you can have the happiness you deserve.​​​​​​​​

Each of us has one thing that we enjoy our partner Each of us has one thing that we enjoy our partner doing, it might be holding hands and watching a movie, it might be being cooked our favourite meal, it might be being massaged. The same goes for our partners, they will have one thing that they enjoy us doing for them over everything else.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Take some time to do that one special thing for your partner today.​​​​​​​​

Many people shy away from stating their life needs Many people shy away from stating their life needs and wants on a first date when in fact doing so can be one of the very best ways of gauging if they will be a good long-term partner or not. This approach isn’t for everyone but it is effective.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you are focused on getting to the top of your career within 5 years tell them that. If you want a child within 5 years tell them that. If you want to never get married tell them that. If you want to get married within 3 years tell them that.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You might be worried about putting potential partners off with this approach but this is a good thing. The dates that get put off would never have made good future partners. The right person for you won’t be put off by this approach, they will respond to your needs and future aspirations in a positive and supportive way.​​​​​​​​

We all make many bids for connection with the peop We all make many bids for connection with the people in our life each day especially those close to us such as our partners. There are three ways that a bid for connection can be responded to. In a healthy relationship turning towards your partner is always the most constructive option and this is the way you should both be aiming to respond to each other’s bids the majority of the time. Turning away and turning against a partner’s bid for connection slowly destroys many relationships over time. Taking the time to respond in a respectful manner to your partner’s bid for connection when they make it is one of the most important parts of a healthy relationship.​​​​​​​​

When you bottle up any problems you are having wit When you bottle up any problems you are having with your partner they will only build and over time they are going to come out, usually in a way that is disproportionate to the problem itself. Whereas if you learn to bring up your problems with your partner’s behaviour as they occur, it stops the problems from building into resentments inside that usually spill out in some form of anger. When the problems are emotionally small you are in a better position to resolve them together.​​​​​​​​

It’s really easy to lose parts of yourself when It’s really easy to lose parts of yourself when in a relationship either through compromising or through not realising that your boundaries have been eroded over time, for example by not taking enough time to do the things you love.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Staying true to who you are is the only way to true vitality within a relationship. When you lose the parts of yourself that are important to your wellbeing then you can’t bring yourself fully to your relationship, or yourself. This is a path to depression and exhaustion.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When you are true to yourself you are energised from doing the things you love, you are happy, and you are hopeful and positive.​​​​​​​​

Relationships change everyone who enters them. The Relationships change everyone who enters them. They can bring out the best in you or the worst. That’s why you should never ever ever settle when it comes to choosing a partner.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you choose the wrong partner you’re going to be miserable: Fact.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It’s much better to be picky, take dating slowly, and to wait than to enter a relationship you’re not sure about. When you find and choose a partner who makes you feel good it’s going to transform you and your future for the better.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The same applies for friendships or any type of relationships in your life. Be careful who you interact with, they can make you, or break you.​​​​​​​​

One of the most real pieces of advice I was ever g One of the most real pieces of advice I was ever given was when I was starting my relationship and I told one of my friends. She was really happy for me and we had a long conversation about relationships where she said to me that "there'll be times where you think ‘why am I doing this?’ but it's worth it..." She summed up the realness of all relationships so well. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We all have moments where we feel apathy or even frustration about our relationships. Moments where we'd rather spend time alone, or our partner annoyed us. A relationship is a balancing act between dependence and independence where two people are constantly dancing between needing time together and time alone. Sometimes those two sets of needs don't overlap and compromise takes place.​​​​​​​​

You can help motivate yourself to begin dating or to break up with your partner by choosing the day you do it carefully.

Days that are associated with new starts motivate us more to make changes.

Some examples are: New Year, the first day of the month, the first day of the week, and special days when transitions are already happening such as when you are moving house or making another change.

If you’re a people-pleaser you might love to help others as much as possible but at what cost? In order to protect yourself and relationship sometimes you have to be kind but firm with friends and colleagues about what you can realistically take on.​​​​​​​​

Emotional vampires are people who are draining to Emotional vampires are people who are draining to be around. They leave you feeling tired and worse than before you talked with them. They are bad people to make into friends and especially bad people to choose as a partner.

1.  You feel drained after talking with them.

They will be sharing stressful things with you that will leave you exhausted. They will also be focused on themselves and so there is no equality and time for you within the conversation.

2.  You don’t look forward to talking with them.

You can easily tell if someone is an emotional vampire by thinking about whether or not you look forward to talking with them. Or does seeing them usually cause you to feel a sense of dread and tension?

3. They spend the majority of the time talking about things you find stressful.

They won’t be considerate about how you are feeling and the impact their sharing of stressful things has on you.

​​​​​​​​
What you can control though is how you respond to your partner and how you meet their needs. You can help soothe them when they’re upset by holding them and listening to them. You can work on not responding harshly when they are irritable. As well as many other things.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Try to focus on what you can control and improve instead of trying to change that which is out of your control.​​​​​​​​

Emotionally immature people can be materially succ Emotionally immature people can be materially successful in the world but a nightmare to be in a relationship or friendship with. Here are some signs to look for:

1. They are self-centred.

They will be primarily focused on their needs, and how others made them feel. They find it hard to accept responsibility for their own part in any problems with others. 

2. They take feedback as criticism.

Emotionally immature people will get defensive as soon as you try to give them any feedback.

3. Their reactions are not proportionate to the situation. 

Small things can set off an emotionally immature person such as innocuous words. There is often no logic to the reaction so the person on the receiving end is often confused by what has happened. You cannot logic out the reactions of an emotionally immature person as they aren’t coming from you, they are coming from them.

Feelings of love play only a small part in choosing a partner who you are going to be happy with in the long-term. It’s easy to fall in love even with people who will make terrible partners. Choosing a good partner requires thinking and knowledge.

2. Look for good traits as they stay consistent over time.

Traits are characteristics of a person’s behaviour that stay consistent over time. Choosing a partner based on their good traits is the best way to find a good long-term partner. This requires looking for the traits you desire in a partner such as their level of kindness, and how reliable they are.

3. Attraction isn't enough to sustain a healthy relationship.

At the start of a relationship how attractive you find your partner might be enough to outweigh their other negative traits, but in time it isn’t enough. A good partner must be skilled at listening, must be kind, and must be reliable to name but a few of the positive traits a good partner needs to have.

It's so easy to have miscommunications even when b It's so easy to have miscommunications even when both partners are actively listening to each other. What you say and how your partner hears it and interprets it are completely different things.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes we forget to express exactly what we mean as in our minds it’s clear but to others it’s not. This is where asking precise clarifying questions helps as it cuts through any fussiness in meaning so that both people are on the same page. It helps to not make assumptions that you know something until you’ve asked clearly about it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Some clarifying questions you could ask include:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“What did you mean by (insert point of topic here)?”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“Could you tell me more about that?”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“I don’t think I fully understand yet, could you explain a bit more/in another way?”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“Tell me more.”​​​​​​​​
