The love between you may be flowing perfectly at the moment, but there are some habits that if you’re doing it, that are totally harmful to your relationship.

Even the strongest romantic bonds have room for improvement, so why not evaluate your relationship so that if he has any of these habits you won’t make a decision in time?

If you detect them now, there’s still time to nip this bad in the bud and prevent damage to your relationship. Honestly, we can’t think of a better incentive to get a checkup with your partner to make sure your romance is as healthy as possible.

If you’re involved with someone you truly love and respect, the last thing you want is to allow an uncorrected habit to ruin your relationship.

Here’s what not to do:

1- Thinking you know how your partner is feeling

Your partner walked into the room with a frown, so naturally that means he or she is upset with you for something you probably didn’t or did. Before you knew what happened, you went into defense mode and instead of helping, it made you and your partner feel even worse.

Making assumptions about what happened can be harmful to our relationship because it doesn’t allow our partner to share their side, which makes them insecure.

2- Not setting healthy boundaries with your friends and family

It’s totally normal to share some aspects of your personal life with friends and family, but that doesn’t mean they should become a third person in your relationship. If you’re in the habit of reaching out to your friends or family every time you have an argument with your partner, it’s best to stop there.

You should take steps to set better boundaries and focus on building trust in your relationship by keeping friends and family out of your love life.

3- Refusing to accept criticism

Criticisms are healthy and when they are made by the person who loves us they are even more welcome. Refusing to listen to them means you are refusing to improve.

4- Don’t talk openly about sex

Sex cannot be a taboo in a couple’s life. We should not be ashamed or afraid to talk about this subject. Many couples don’t talk about it because they are afraid that this topic could bring some kind of embarrassment to their partner. But on the contrary, this subject should be talked about yes, because the health of the relationship depends on sex!

5- Hide your stress

We understand why you often don’t show that you’re stressed: things are going well between you and your partner, and you don’t want to show them that you’re stressed because you’re afraid they’ll think you are unhappy in the relationship.

But as difficult as this sometimes seems, you have to show that feeling yes. But wisely! If you are stressed and want some time to yourself, communicate this to your partner and tell him/her that you want to stay in your corner.

6- Not trusting your partner

How can a relationship be happy if it lacks trust? If you feel you need to monitor everything your partner does (or doesn’t do) to make sure he or she is being faithful to you, it could be that the problem is with you.

7- Not giving your partner personal space

Everyone needs space and time alone. This is good for the relationship. It’s impossible to live around one person 24 hours a day.

In fact, experts claim that space is more important to a couple’s happiness than enjoying a great sex life.

8- Yelling while arguing

Rude, stupid treatment and yelling during an argument will eventually wear out even the best of partners. If you say you love this person, then those feelings should be evident even when things aren’t going well between you.

9- Constantly bringing up the past

What you went through with someone else is your problem and no one else’s. It’s not healthy to bring a disappointment you had back there into your current relationship. If every time you bring up this subject things go awry, then why not avoid it?

After all… “who lives in the past is a museum”.
