Keep in mind that successful relationships aren’t just about rainbows and butterflies—a healthy partnership requires communication, respect, and plenty of good habits from both people.

I just started a relationship after knowing my partner for almost a year, we both knew from the beginning that we were interested in each other so we're really happy to be engaged in this. I just hope that we do our best to maintain this healthy and mature communication forever.

Maintaining a relationship is complicated and is harder than anything I learn at school

all 5 points hit me hard so much because I'm in a relationship rn where my partner is neglecting me, she rarely talks to me anymore, she's going out with other people barely telling me anything, and she's never there for me. Then when I do speak to her, it's often short and she goes to hang out with another person that's apparently way more important than me in her eyes. It's been going on for months, and now, most of the time I wonder if I'm the problem, if I'm the reason that our relationship is like this. I want to talk it out and make things better, but I can never do that if she's never around.

I love that you guys keep coming back to this topic because like you mentioned we never stop needing helping with improving relationships (romantic or platonic). We can all be better 💛

I feel so much better now-
I wanna make sure I'm doing the most I can to be a good partner, but also a good friend. These videos about relationship tips and making sure you're being a good person make me feel better and like I'm not as bad as I see myself. Thank you Psych2Go

I'm dating right now and I go through so much depression and anxiety so it does scare me that the way I act may ruin the relationship with my BF.

Overthinking mindset is always the downfall off all relationships.

How about:
6. The habit of being disrespectful. Of not showing respect for your partner’s feelings, opinions or choices.
7. The habit of devaluation. Belittling, ignoring, not listening or minimizing your partner’s contributions.
8. The habit of withholding. THIS IS A BIG ONE: Starving your partner of attention, affection, sex, praise, touch, comfort, encouragement, affirmation, compassion, inclusiveness, respect, your time or any kind of emotional or physical support.
9. The habit of hiding your true self. Not being honest, truthful, transparent or vulnerable to your partner.
10. The habit of not really SEEING your partner as a person for who they are as an individual apart from you. Too many people only see their partner for what they do for them or how they make them feel but fail to enjoy or value them as an individual, unique being.
11. The habit of being dishonest, keeping secrets, lying to your partner.
12. The habit of not seeing the big picture. The big picture is you are a couple in a relationship, sharing your lives together. Everything you do, every choice you make effects your partner. If you’re in a relationship, your life is not your own. It includes your partner. Everything you do will have a positive or negative effect on your partner’s life. If you make good choices, they too will share the rewards. If you make bad choices, they too will suffer the consequences and pain. If you focus on what is best for your partner and you as a couple, you are beginning to see the big picture!

I'm in a long distance relationship and sometimes I have these deep thoughts of what if she finds someone better than me. I feel like I've gotten boring overtime and I just want things to work out. This video does make me feel a bit better at least

[icannotyoutubetoday]

I gotta say I love watching these as I'm quite anxious most of the time, overthinking everything and struggling with expressing myself I think so this helps me work through some things that I had perceived as problems, turned out to be overthought or easy to work through. I thoroughly enjoy these as it reminds me of how far I've come with maturity and lays some groundwork for me to work with!

Hey psy2go... just wanted to say thankyou sm for raising awareness and educating people about mental health. I love your content alot❤

This video helped me understand why my first relationship failed: I was too complacent.
I didn't put in nearly enough effort, even though I still loved her. This turned into her getting emotional about it, and I shut down. I couldn't handle it. I was too young and dumb to know how to get through those problems.
I haven't had a committed relationship since, but now knowing this, I think I can make it work.
Thanks!

[tommygunn]

This was helpful. Thank you! It's quite honestly unfair to compare any ex to your partner, or this idea of the perfect partner! And complacency kills every time!!

"The habit of being a jerk"
I have had some issues with this one.
Of course they deny being a jerk, don't 'mean anything' by picking on or constantly "pranking" for fun!
And then made to feel like I'M the one who is wrong, because I "can't take a joke" and I'm "no fun"!
When you're always the punchline, it starts to feel like getting emotionally punched!
It hurts.
I'm not having fun at that point.
I feel pain.
I feel like my feelings aren't as important as their need for amusement, even when they are completely aware that their laughter is at the expense of my feelings!
My peace of mind, my feelings of adequacy!
Something is wrong with ME for feeling hurt little "joking" insults, and "pranks" that feel just cruel at times.
I'm not "the one" for them, if I feel upset.
And I started to believe perhaps something was actually wrong with me for responding to "just having a little fun" with negativity?
Maybe I just need to losen up more?
Should I just try and learn to not take their behavior so seriously, when they're just joking?
Right?
Ok I'm sorry, I know you were just messing

And you find yourself apologizing for having hurt feelings, to the very person who purposely hurt your feelings for their own amusement, knowing full well how they make you feel, when they do and say such things 🤔
