It’s no secret that a relationship takes hard work and compromises. You need to let go of a lot of things, and pick the right fights to ensure that you actually do end up having a certain level of harmony. Despite your best efforts, there are going to be some things that just won’t work out, and its best to give up and move on because there is no fixing it.
1. Relationship with your in-laws
This one is always tricky. You’ll either love them, or you won’t. And it’s up to you to deal with it in a mature, easy way. If you don’t get along with them, despite your best efforts, don’t beat yourself up over it. Accept it and move on. You might not end up with the best set of in-laws and that’s okay. You are married to their child, not them!
2. Relationship with your partner’s friends
You want to love these people because they are clearly important to him/her. However, you might not always get along the same way as your partner does, and that is okay too. You cannot force yourself to be friends with people who you don’t really like, or who don’t like you. Be cordial and polite, that’s it.
3. Forgetting to text back
You cannot understand how someone cannot remember to text back, however it does happen. You need to understand that not texting back doesn’t always translate to not caring. Some people are just not cut out to responding instantly and always keeping the other person informed. As long as this doesn’t affect the communication in the relationship, you need to let this go. It’s not worth a fight!
4. A tiny bit of jealousy
Yes we would want our partner to trust us one hundred percent, but small bouts of jealousy do tend to seep in as it’s only human to feel a little insecure. However, the functional word is “tiny bouts”. As long as it doesn’t go out of hand, and start affecting the trust between the two of you, let it go.
5. Their relationship with their ex
Everyone deals with their past relationships differently and, while you might not want to even see your ex’s face, there are some people who are genuinely friends with their exes. If your partner honestly is friends with one of his/her ex, and promises that that relationship does not affect what you both have, we suggest letting it slide.
