10 Bad Habits That Get In the Way of Good Relationships

February 29th, 2012 - By Brooke Dean

2. Not Fighting Fair

Every couple fights – it’s inevitable. But there’s a way to disagree and resolve a disagreement without damaging your relationship. Using personal information against someone or spewing words that hit below the belt is a sure sign that you have no regard for your partner’s feelings. Arguing doesn’t give you the right to be disrespectful, and how you argue can tell a person if you truly value them, even in the heat of the moment. A person may forget what you said, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. To keep your relationships strong, be kind…even in times of conflict.

    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.

  • oh really

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

      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
