Mistakes at the Beginning of a Relationship That Usually Lead to Disappointment and Breakups
Have you ever thought that your partner has changed (in your opinion, not for the better) since the moment you started a relationship or thoughts that now it’s not as good and excellent as it was at the beginning relationship?
Now I will tell you about the mistakes that can occur at the beginning of a relationship and lead to disappointment and separation.
- Too fast movement. Sometimes couples can go from dating to serious relationships too quickly, without giving themselves time to get to know each other better. This can lead to frustration when they realize they are incompatible or have little in common.
- Lack of personal boundaries. You sacrifice your interests and desires to make them feel good. Afraid to say «no» again. All this shows the partner that disrespecting your boundaries is the norm.
- Idealization of a partner. The partner seems perfect to you. This is normal because, at the initial stage of dating, we want to please, and show our best side. However, over time, your “rose-colored glasses” will fall off, and all those “red flags” that you ignored will cause you concern.
- Over control. Every day you wait for a detailed report from your partner, where, when and with whom he was. Of course, trust in a relationship is essential, and your partner will tell you where he is. Still, when you start bombarding him with questions and complaints, even more so at the beginning of a relationship, this only increases your tension.
- Different views. Life values, plans for the future, priorities – this is what you should discuss with your partner at the initial stage. If you missed this moment, then soon you will be faced with the fact that you may have completely different views on the future, life, etc.
These are the most common mistakes at the initial stage of a relationship. Having identified and realized some of them in your relationship is already 50% of success. After that, you will only have to calmly discuss everything with your partner and start working on the problem that you have identified in yourself.
The best assistant is a psychologist who will help you understand and reveal yourself and deal with YOUR relationship problems. Therefore, I invite you to a consultation on the price of a cup of coffee. You can choose a convenient time and place here.
It is important to remember that any relationship requires work and effort, and couples must work together to resolve any conflicts that may arise.
