Myth 3: My Partner Should Know What I’ m Thinking
This myth couldn ' t be more false. Relationships are about the big C: Communication. Despite what you might have heard, your partner isn ' t a mind reader. Be clear and precise in what you want. Don ' t assume that your partner knows what ' s on your mind. Be open and honest. After all, honesty really is the best policy.
Myth 5: We Have Nothing In Common So We Won’ t Work Out
Having nothing in common doesn ' t make or break a relationship. It all comes down to chemistry. Are you attracted to your partner both physically and mentally? Do you think about them at least ten times a day? Are you willing to work at making your relationship last? If you answered yes to any or all of those questions, then this myth is busted. The best way to deal with the lack of common ground is to take an interest in something your partner does, or else find something different that the both of you could do together. Take a cooking class or photography class together and soon your bond will be so much stronger.
Myth 4: In Great Relationship There’ s No Fighting
Even in the best relationships, there will always be squabbles. The easiest way to deal with a disagreement is to talk it out. Take turns expressing your concerns. Don ' t interrupt your partner when it ' s their t u r n t o s p e a k. L i s t e n i n g a n d communicating with each other is the best way to solve any crisis, regardless of how small or how large it is.
All relationships take time and patience to make work. There are no set rules for how every relationship should be simply because every relationship is unique. Don ' t let the popular myths bought on by pop culture and generation gaps deter you from taking a chance on that special someone.
