What Are The Best Tips For Dealing With Relationship Issues?
It’s dependent on what the relationship issue is.
I’d say one of the biggest tips is when you apologize for something, mean it.
So many get wrapped up in words and live and die by them with little to no action. What good is an apology when followed by a little to no action or repeated behavior?
I also believe it’s helpful to be able to put yourself in your partner’s shoes.
Please take a moment and try and put yourself in their position. Try and think about how your actions have affected them, don’t minimize, justify or try and force them through a feeling.
Another vital tip is communication. If most of your disagreements are discussed through text and emails, that’s a recipe for disaster.
So many say they are great at communication and great listeners when they are entirely the opposite.
I love to talk shit through, but I have a bad habit of beating a dead horse or driving shit in the ground. Maybe it’s the people I surround myself with, and I don’t feel heard. I dunno.
In the end, sometimes you will have to accept some issues can’t be fixed, and there is no tip big enough to overcome the problems.
