See 7 mistakes that spoils a Loving Relationships

There’s many ways to view relationships; the key is that we’ve all got to find ourselves in self-examination when relationships fail or don’t work out. Yes, there are many times when it wasn’t our fault, it was their fault. However, there are times that regardless of who’s fault, it’s time to examine why it isn’t working out.

1. You didn't know the real person you were dating:
It typically takes about six months for a person to let their guard down and take off the mask of social charm. Only then will you see the real person hidden beneath it. After it's off, the character flaws and personality quirks show up, and the true nature of your partner makes its appearance. At that point, it's time for you to decide if you want to stick it out or move on.

2. You refuse to accept that you’ll need to make some changes in your life — “I’m not going to change for anybody” is always the extreme of not knowing what “How can I be better?” really means.

3. You’ve got too much pride — Pride will stand in your way. It will make you quit a relationship because you feel slighted at a certain point, rather than doubling down and making it work. When you start concerning yourself with how you look to others instead of how you feel on the inside, you lose.

4. You didn’t communicate effectively
This comes down to believing that communication is all verbal, discussing the nth out of relationships but not being action focused, and not understanding one another’s communication styles and how to get the best out of them. One person is speaking French, the other is speaking Chinese. Each person wants the other to not only speak their language but take on their communication style.

5. You were confused
This is a bit like setting people impossible tests and expecting them to play Mystic Meg and read your mind. Of course, when they don’t figure out what we want, we get p*ssed off with them and lament their shortcomings. This stems from fundamental beliefs that ‘right’ relationships means that the other person will know what we want, when, and how.

6. We are too busy for our relationship:
The modern day man and woman wants the good things of life. They devote all their time and energy chasing the dream and forget to love. These days people don’t have the patience to deal with all that comes with being in a relationship. They are just too busy that they forget to have time for love.

7. Relationships don't last anymore because people are not willing to sacrifice a part of themselves for someone else, and they don't want to put in the work that is necessary to have a lifelong friend, lover and companion.
