Relationship Fix Tip # 3: Be Happy With Yourself.
There ' s a difference between sharing your love and life experiences with your man and expecting your man to make you happy all the time. It ' s true that you ' re in a relationship with someone you have strong feelings for; but it doesn ' t mean that you have to depend on him or the relationship to make you happy. If you think that you ' re expecting too much of your partner or you ' re trying to fill your insecurities by demanding love and attention from your man, it ' s time to step back and take a good look at yourself.
Relationships aren ' t meant to be a temporary self-confidence boost. Being in a committed relationship with someone means sharing each other ' s love and happiness and sharing each other ' s lives. You ' re giving part of yourself to someone else, and that ' s a sacred union. Take time for yourself, and think about these questions: Are you expecting too much from your partner? Are you unhappy with yourself in any way and projecting those insecurities on others?
Instead of depending on others, especially your man, to make you happy, learn more about yourself and find out what makes you happy. Figure out what will make your life a great one, even on your own. Remember that your relationship is a part of you, albeit a big one. But it doesn ' t define you, even if being with your boyfriend, fiancé or husband makes you happy.
Avoid depending on your relationship to make you happy completely. Learn about yourself; love yourself; and be happy with yourself. Don ' t lose yourself because you ' re in a relationship.
