5 Ways You Are Ruining Your Relationship

Many people don't realize that some things that they do may ruin the relationship. Several people don't realize that some things that they do to make things better actually make things more worse. Here are five ways you are ruining your relationship.

You say I love you over and over again all day

You may have good intentions every time you say the "L" word, but it does get old after a while. You don't want to make the other one feel smothered by you. You don't want them to start to discard the word "love"whatsoever. This is the big sign that you are heading down the wrong road when he or she starts to dismiss any love words that you may say.

You would rather have him or her spend every awake minute with you

This is a sign of control. You have to learn that life goes on. One can not simply spend every awake hour with you no matter what unless he or she works at home. They have to work sometime. You have to realize that he or she needs a life other than just you. Family may be an important thing, but it is important for you to have a girls night out and a man's night out too.

You get jealous of the opposite gender being near your man or woman

Some conversations are simply business and nothing else. You don't want to be jealous of every conversation or lunch meeting with the opposite gender. It is something that you need to get over because jealousy is not healthy. Jealousy will drive you insane unless you stop it. A man and a woman can be friends without anything inappropriate going on whatsoever. Don't be jealous of best friends either.

You forbid him or her to speak to an ex

You have no right to control conversations that your man or woman has with an ex. The ex may simply just talk about the children with him or her. Don't look at the ex as a threat. You have the man or woman right now that all that matters. She or he comes home to you at night and not the ex. Don't worry about the ex. Remember, an ex is an ex for a reason because somehow things didn't work out.

You screen all e-mails and cellular calls

This implies indirectly that you do not trust your man or woman. You violate their right to privacy in some cases. They shouldn't have to justify every action that they do that is innocent or harmless. They have the right to privacy to a certain extent. If he or she uses your computer then they don't have the right to privacy since they do not own it.
