5 ISSUES THAT CAN AFFECT RELATIONSHIPS



I am not an expert, but from what I have observed – I have concluded that entering into a relationship is something that nobody takes for granted and for others, it is a situation that is foreign and actually takes a great deal of work to pursue. However, no relationship is perfect and there will always be reasons why couples fall out. The key is to understand that indifferences in relationships are par for the course and that mutual understanding is often the only solution. That said; let’s have a look at five common relationship issues that may rear their ugly head:

Distance

Long-distance relationships are tough; that is the bottom line. But if two parties are really interested, then they can work. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder right? Maybe, but what about the school of thought that says “out of sight out of mind”? The key to long distance relationships is communication. If you are serious, then call often, exchange emails or on a more distant scale send letters. However, in today’s digital age, social networks are the way forward and the sharing of pictures, videos and status updates with a loved one is the key.

Physical Attraction

Yes, it is looks that draw us to our partners; but looks alone are not enough to sustain a healthy, long-term relationship. Anyone who is fooled by this appearance and believes that a long-term relationship can be based on physical attraction alone is mistaken. While physical attraction is a fantastic aspect of a relationship, it cannot be the only basis and so nobody should be under the illusion that relationships based on physical attraction alone can last.

Somebody Else

We don’t like to admit it, but a huge problem when it comes to relationships is a third party. If your significant other is interested in someone else then there are two reasons why: a natural attraction or a feeling of neglect. The former you can do nothing about, but the latter is definitely something you need to discuss. However, perhaps the former is a result of the latter and so a heart-to-heart discussion is needed either way. A relationship cannot survive when there are three parties involved.

Romance is Dead

Everybody, especially girls, love romance. This is why a healthy relationship needs romance to be blossoming at all times. Unfortunately, romance can die out after a period of time with the same person and this has a detrimental effect on the relationship. Romantic gestures don’t necessarily need to be grand or expensive, but they need to come from the heart. The odd bunch of flowers or box of chocolates goes a long way when the other party is not expecting it.

Other unfortunate issues that can affect relationships in the romance department relate to the bedroom. Perhaps intimate relations have become a problem of late and one half of the relationship is unable to fulfil the other sexually. If this is the case, then help is available from reputable companies such as Prolong and further advice should be sought.

Jealousy

Jealousy is perhaps the biggest destroyer of relationships and most of the time it is unfounded. One partner becomes suspicious of the other’s activities and jealousy ensues. Moreover, there is usually a perfectly understandable explanation for certain behaviour, yet jealousy still leads to an argument occurring. The best advice is to talk about everything and anything. This why, jealousy will not rear its ugly head and you relationship will remain strong and healthy.
