2 things you should never open up to in a relationship

When it comes to opening up in a relationship, there are certain things that couples always hesitate to speak about. Many hesitate in fear of the repercussion that may occur due to them opening up.


The first thing people in a relationship must avoid to say is; "please do not call me every 10 minutes".


Sometimes expressing too much love and affection might make partners feel like their personal space is being intruded. Even though they may be disturbed about it, partners often lie about how they love to moderate their calling habits.


Despite being intruded in your own space, do not attempt to say things that could ruin the trust between you and your partner.


Some people are made to be competitive in what they tend to compete in, sometimes even with their partners. It is a secret competition which can have its own advantages and disadvantages.


The second issue is unfolding things that happened in the past with your previous partner and comparison.


We can argue that nobody wants to hear about your ex fiance, although people tend to wonder how the relationship was before they met each other.


If your previous partner was abusive in any form, it is in your best interest to be open about it before getting into a new relationship. That is an understandable discussion you can partake so that there wouldn't be any 'surprise secrets' when the relationship switch gears.


Hence lovers tend to compare their current partner on how their ex used to treat them better. Question is, where is that person now?


Avoid talking about how your previous partner treated you, rather say it as it is coming from your heart on how you would love to be treated.


Comparison raises questions like "does she miss her previous boyfriend"? Already a thin line of trust is broken.


Communication is a key to every long lasting relationship. However, know when to avoid opening up about things that changes your partner's mood instantly. It is advisable to always be honest with your feelings but that does not mean you should lower your partners existence in your life.
