I shall borrow someone else’s words today!

I found this excellent article: 10 Ways We Hurt Our Romantic Relationships on lifehack.org that you should find refreshing and well thought out, despite the title sounding like a women’s magazine cliche.

That are points I wholeheartedly agree with, like being afraid of breaking up; the fear itself being the problem. Reinforces my belief that a lot of things that go wrong in relationships are self-fulfilling prophecies: You think you’re not lovable, so you become quite unlovely; you think it isn’t going to work out, so you stop making efforts to make it work: thus, of course it doesn’t!

But there were two points that I never really thought of as harmful to relationships: expecting happiness, and expecting it to be hard. Anyway, go check it out, leave a tag on my board if you agree, (I can’t remember how to enable comments for each post after tampering with the html on my blog way too much), and we’ll talk! (:
