10 Bad Habits That Get In the Way of Good Relationships

February 29th, 2012 - By Brooke Dean

Ever wonder why a budding romance seems to be going so well for a spell, only for it to come crashing down in flames after a few short weeks or months? Sometimes it’s simply not meant to be, but most times it could be our own behavior sabotaging our love lives over and over again. We know we may be doing something wrong, but we don’t want to take a close look at ourselves and own up to it. It’s time to do some soul searching and break the routine of bad emotional habits that could be ruining your chances at a healthy relationship.

1. Allowing Everyone in Your Business

Some people don’t know how to keep their friends and family out of their relationships. If you and your man have a fight, your girls don’t need to know ALL of the details. Sure, you may need to vent, but your besties will still hold a grudge against your man long after you’ve forgiven him…and they won’t let you live it down. Pretty soon they’re giving him the side eye and spreading your business all around town – and he’ll resent you for not keeping your private lives between the both of you. Loose lips can get you dropped – quick, fast and in a hurry. Keep your business to yourself.

    I agree with this especially the nagging.  What I still have yet to figure out is how not to nag.  Say for example you often ask your partner to do something (cleaning, paying bills, etc), they say ok but as times passes they don’t do it, then you start to nag that person.  For me personally when someone is b*tching at me i’m less inclined to do whatever the task may be.

    I think MN has some great articles when it comes to initiating and maintaining relationships. I often read these articles with the hopes that, one day, I will meet someone and can then begin to implement some of the advice offered. That’s all I really can do because honestly sometimes, I do believe that I will never meet someone who is for real.  I’m trying not to be this way, but my experiences have caused me to have so much self doubt that I’m not sure of myself and my feelings like I once was.

    Ok, some good and interesting points……!! We all need reminding at times.

  • oh really

    Why is the thick/plus size woman used to show someone letting themselves go?

    • MNEditor2

      Because of her facial expression while on the scale. There’s a sense of confusion. Nobody’s throwing shots at anybody. Thanks.

        Well said! It seems some people will try to make something big out of nothing!!

      Because “thick” & “plus size” is just PC talk for FAT… No one wants a fat chick
