In any relationship, there should be levels of tolerance on both ends. What you allow a man to do, he will do. When he realizes how easy it is to get away with certain things, he will continue to do them. I’m not stating that any spouse should have the other on a leash, but it does help to set boundaries and maintain levels of understanding with one another. I am not, by any means, a relationship expert. I do, however, acknowledge the basics and fundamentals of healthy, long-lasting relationships. I will now list some things that I find to be absolute no-no’s in any relationship:
- Disrespect: This should never be tolerated. Once it becomes and ongoing pattern, your relationship is doomed
- Cheating: Pretty self-explanatory. Cheating should never take place. If even the thought should ever arise, you definitely need to check the status of your relationship because something is terribly wrong.
- Dishonesty: Huge No-No. Any healthy relationship consists of the complete and honest truth. Lying should never be accepted nor tolerated.
- Lack Of Enthusiasm: Once this begins to surface, you might as well sit your partner down and let him know what it is that is turning you off. Which brings me to my last and final no-no.
- Lack Of Communication: Communication is key in any relationship. Once this is lost, you can no longer relate to your man and this may lead to all of the above. Communicate with your man and let him know what you like, what turns you off and how you feel.
Remember, tolerance is important. Even when you truly care about someone, never limit yourself to keeping things bottled up inside of you. It will make you more miserable than happy. I’ve picked up on these things through experience and observation. I try my best to always keep them in mind. Believe me, it has helped me more than it has harmed me. You never have to tolerate anything because you fear that it will end your relationship, because honey, if that’s a fear, your spouse is never going to hear you out or respect your feelings. That’s when it’s time to leave.
