#1: Stop giving in to the jealousy.
You aren’t new to the game anymore. You have been around the block once before. You know what it feels like to fall in love with someone. You know what it means to give your heart to another person. And you also know what it means to have your heart broken by someone that you trusted and valued. You tried your best to make that relationship work, but the universe just had other plans. You had your share of mistakes. You had your fair share of shortcomings. You knew that somewhere along the line, you did or said something wrong and that derailed your relationship. But the past is past. You can’t do anything to change it and you’re just going to have to accept the repercussions of your past decisions. You are just going to have to be okay with how things worked out because there’s nothing that you can do about it anymore.
However, you can’t let your past dictate what happens to your future. You shouldn’t be afraid to fall in love again if your heart wants to. You can’t let the failures of your past scare you into seclusion. You have to be willing to let yourself fall in love again. You have to listen to the desires of your heart. But that doesn’t mean that you can be reckless once more. You have to learn from the mistakes of the past and you have to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes in the future. So how do you make sure that your future relationship isn’t going to end up like your failed relationships in the past? Well, there are a few things that you could do differently.
Here are a few examples of those things that you could do to change your luck in relationships:
1. Stop giving in to the jealousy.
Stop acting so jealous all the time especially when you’re still starting out in the relationship. Remember that you are getting into a relationship with another person. You don’t have the right to claim ownership over another human being. You are not entitled to full control of the life of another individual. You can’t be so clingy, controlling, and jealous in a relationship. You will end up suffocating your partner and the relationship is going to falter.
2. Be more patient and forgiving.
Remember that your partner is only human. You can’t always expect your partner to meet all of your standards. You can’t always be too strict on your partner. You have to practice ultimate patience and understanding in your relationship. If your patience is a little too thin, then you are only creating stress for yourself.
3. Never disregard yourself for the sake of the relationship.
Remember that being in a relationship doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up your individuality as a person. You have to be able to take care of yourself too. You have to be able to balance your life as an individual, and your life in your relationship. You can’t let your relationship be the only thing that defines you as a person. You have to have other things going on for yourself.
4. Never miss out on an opportunity to show appreciation for your partner.
Always make sure that your partner knows just how much you value them. Remember that your romantic partner isn’t a mind reader. Just because you feel all of these positive things about your partner doesn’t mean that they are automatically going to feel it too. You have to be able to express yourself honestly and openly.
5. Don’t underestimate the value of open communication.
All great relationships are built on healthy communication. You should both be open and willing to discuss anything with one another. No matter how difficult conversations may be, you have to always be ready to talk to one another.
6. Don’t be afraid to look for help externally.
No one ever goes into relationships with everything figured out. People would be lying if they told you that they knew what they were doing going into relationships. No one ever knows. That’s how complicated relationships are. But of course, some people will always be more experienced and more perceptive than others. Don’t be afraid to look for advice from other people if you need the help.
7. Commit to making things work.
Relationships aren’t going to be easy. There are always going to be a few speed bumps along the way. If there comes a point in your relationship wherein you are faced with a few setbacks, you can’t let them intimidate you. You have to always be willing to face the challenges that get in the way of your relationship. You have to have the courage to solve the problems that are thrown your way. Remember that all great things in life are always worth fighting for.
