15 Rules You Should Know To Be A Good Partner In The Relationship!
By- Shreya Sharma
No one is perfect! It is easy to look at our partner’s flaws and what they did wrong and fight over that; but have we ever thought of the things we are doing wrong. The way our eyes can see others only and not us, same way we can see other’s faults and not ours. We need a mirror to look at ourselves, and in real that mirror can be anyone; a friend, a partner or a guide. To be a good partner, you need to have some rules followed. Here are 15 rules you should know to be a good partner in the relationship.
- You can be angry but not cruel
We all get angry but the way you deal with anger determines whether you are being fair or not. Tell your partner if he has done something wrong, instead of insulting him, bringing up the past issues or to get physically violent. This will only escalate the argument.
- Sometimes you need to back out for peace
When we are right, it is hard to back out. Sometimes winning or losing the argument is not important, the thing that matters is to end the argument. Do not escalate the issue because of pride, learn to back out and make peace.
- No one is perfect
It is easy to judge other people and criticize other people and find fault in them. It is easy to say that you would not have done the same if you had been in that place. Remember that you too do make wrong choices and you are not perfect. Do not expect from people to be perfect.
- Accept that people change
Everything that happens with us changes us. You have to accept the change so that you can maintain the pace of life; else you will have to make a bigger change in yourself sooner or later.
- Your partner’s friends were in his life long before you entered
It is important to get along with your partner’s friends because they were in his life to support him even when you were not there. They care for your man. You need not be great friends with them; you just need to get on with them for the sake of your partner. Do not be the person asking your partner to choose between you and his friends and family.
- You need not be selfless, but you need to care
It is not about putting them first always because even you deserve to be put first at times. It is about knowing when to put your partner first. Know when it matters to put them first and it will make a lot of difference to your relationship.
- Expectations hurt
It is wrong to expect things from your partner like always paying the bills or bringing in the romance because it is unfair and will put more failures on your partner. A relationship requires efforts from both parties. Expecting is like demanding something because if it is not met, you will be throwing tantrums.
- Sometimes it is better to walk away
Walking away does not mean calling things off, it means if an argument you both do not have any productive or nice thing to say, then it is better to walk away. Take time to breathe in, think and then try again. Screaming will never solve your problem.
- Cheer him up
If your partner had a worse day at the job, it is your responsibility to cheer him up. If you both had a bad day but your partner’s day was worse, this is when you need to realize to put your partner first. Find a way to pick up your partner when they are down.
- Bring romance into your life
It is better to put in efforts to bring romance back in your life rather than moaning and sulking over it. Once you initiate, your partner too may respond with romantic gestures. Do not just drop hints as it will make you feel frustrated if your man does not catch them.
- Make time for each other
Your life might be busy, but you should not take your partner for granted or put them at the last on your priority list. Even if they are ready to wait for you, still you need not make them wait for you. Your partner should be at the top of your priority list.
- Be faithful and loyal
If you cheat or lie your way through the relationship for any reasons, it does not make you right. You have to be faithful and loyal in your relationship.
- Kissing every day is mandatory
Physical intimacy is important in every relationship. Do not take your partner for granted and keep the intimacy alive. This way you will never get bored or think if this is the end of your relationship.
- You have to put in efforts to keep the passion alive
It doesn’t matter how passionate you are at the beginning of a relationship, it will eventually fade with time if you take your relationship for granted. The important thing is to find new ways to keep the excitement alive in the relationship, even if it means going out of your way to excite your partner now and then.
- Support each other through thick and thins
It is easy to support your partner when they are happy, but it is not always easy to support your partner through their bad times. Support your partner when they really rely on your support.
