It’s
important for everybody to be in a relationship, including the romantic type. Building
a happy and strong relationship is a hard work.
Commitment is no easy task and sometimes, giving up on certain pleasures becomes inevitable.
Commitment is no easy task and sometimes, giving up on certain pleasures becomes inevitable.
However, as much
as it is important to make those sacrifices and compromises, there are certain
things you should never give up for a relationship.
Let’s take a
look at those things you should never give up for a relationship.
(1) Your confidence:
Some relationships bring out the best in us; others leave us
feeling unworthy and unsure of ourselves.
A happy and strong relationship will keep you
happier and confident, and not insecure. If your relationship doesn’t, then it proves
you might be sacrificing too much.
(2) Your Dreams and Goals:
Giving up what you nurtured for almost all your
life for a relationship isn’t worth it.
A relationship should be a spring board from
which to chase your dreams rather than a place that keeps you chained and
disillusioned.
Happy
relationships encourage adventures and help the people in it to move forward
and progress rather than stagnate.
(3) Your
Relationship:
Everyone
needs friends outside the partnership and you are quite entitled to go out with
friends or visit family, don’t give up on friends and family whom you love for
your relationship.
A healthy relationship allows friend and
family to happily co-exist alongside it. See it as a warning sign if your
partner loves to isolate you from friends and family.
(4) Your Self Respect:
Never give up your right to be
treated with respect and decency. If you
are being made to cross limits you would never have crossed, the relationship
needs a rethink.
(5) Your
freedom:
Relationship isn’t a prison; you have every right to make
decisions for yourself. If you don’t have the freedom to make your own choices
and be your own person, its best to let go.
(6) Your Independence:
In a relationship, maintaining your independence and resisting over-reliance on
your partner is a good thing.
Independence is healthy and this always helps
you feel you are in a relationship because you want to be and not because you
need to be.
(7) Your Happiness:
Sometimes the fear of being alone
tricks us into staying in a relationship that makes us miserable. This is one
of the worst things we can do to ourselves. If you feel unhappy and
unappreciated you should take a good look at the relationship that you are
into.
(8) Your Beliefs:
We all have our own set of beliefs,
be it moral or religious. These are things that define us. If you are being
forced to give up on your beliefs, take it as a warning sign.
(9) Your Individuality:
(10) Your career:
If you love what you do, no one
should be able to take it from you unless you yourself are okay with it.
