Probably being too soft-hearted.
I never wanted to disagree with my partner in one relationship. That is not healthy. Both partners need to be able to tell the other when they are not happy about something.
Taking my partner for granted. it's easy to let familiarity dull appreciation. I want to remember every day that my partner is the same smart sexy, vibrant, caring individual that I fell in love with. maybe even more so!
I stopped talking and gave up in my previous marriage until I realized all I was doing was existing. I also allowed myself to be controlled and manipulated through guilt and jealousy. My current marriage is much different and a lot more inline with what I feel a relationship should be.
Giving 100% and settling for what is being given
communication never hold back and always be honest
letting myself be taken for granted.
Didn't get JigglyPuff enough...
Not saying what was really on my mind. With holding my thoughts was the worst I could have ever done.
Not to be a clinger. it did not work well in my first marriage and it was a big nuisance to my wife in her first marriage. "If you love someone set them free, if they are truly yours they will come back to you". A quote on my HS yearbook page.
Allowed my insecurities and lack of self confidence to cause issues where there should be none
Avoiding a fight.
I will NOT cheat or lie! That's a mistake I made in a previous relationship that I WILL NOT repeat!
Niet zeggen wat me dwars zit daar door veranderd je gedag en dat heeft een negatief effect op m'n relatie en op mijn partner.. Hij voelt het dan aan
Losing myself. I'm determined to be myself and still grow the relationship in a constructive, forwarding manner.
