Put Yourself First, Always
In your relationship, remember that while they are important, you are a priority. You should put your needs first and not let them take you for granted. Never let them talk (or walk) over you, subdue you or make you feel small in anyway. Be strong. Additionally, you should not be assertive to the extent of dominating and insulting your partner either!
They Are Not Worth Losing Your Friends Over
Girlfriends and boyfriends come and go, but your friends are forever (or at least a couple of years longer). Either we have, or someone we know has pushed friends away while being in a relationship, and it’s never a good thing. Especially if your significant other is the one pushing for it, that is a giant red-flag! Your friends are your personal safety net, and they can see what you cannot when it comes to your relationship. They hype you up, support you and also tell you if something is wrong. They know you better than your partner. Instead of isolating from them you should make them more familiar with your significant other!
Don’t Change Yourself To Suit Them
If they don’t like you for who you are, with all your traits, peeves and quirks, they are not worth it. You should never feel the need to change yourself to suit their image of you. 10/10 women can attest to the fact that this will just lead to long-term insecurities and set you off on a path to losing yourself. Your partner should want to be with you for who you are, not who they want you to be.
The World Will Not End If The Relationship Does
The fear of your relationship ending often makes us drag it out and put up with a lot of unfairness and toxicity. Eventually, this will only harm (and possibly even traumatise) you. Your first relationship will not be your last and will not be “the end of the world”. No, your life will not be over nor will it be devoid meaning without your relationship. In fact, many women agree that their first relationship actually helped their future ones because they learnt so much from them!
Trust Your Gut Instinct
If your gut tells you something is off, trust it. At any point in your first relationship, if you feel the vibe is off, tell your partner about it and clear it up. Chances are it could be all in your head, but there is a possibility it won’t. It really is best to just be open about it and talk it out. However, know when to draw a line. You don’t want to turn into a paranoid person living in constant doubt and fear!
