9 Deal-Breaking Mistakes You Make In A Relationship

Relationships can get tricky, especially when it comes to issues like boundaries or confrontations. Yes, some deal-breakers are inevitable, but there are times when you have the ball in your court, and one mistake can put your relationship into misery.

Well, we did a bit of research on different portals and forums online, and we have a list of some of the common relationship mistakes that most people end up making. Let's reveal our findings for you:

Common Relationship Mistake #1. Lying

Lying to make their partner feel better and avoid the drama was one of the most common and biggest relationship regrets found among the couples. Many believed that lying seemed like a convenient way to get out of an uncomfortable situation, but it just builds up major trust issues later.

Common Relationship Mistake #2. Bottling Up

Another common mistake that people tend to make in a relationship is avoiding the confrontation to save the relationship. Bottling up the issues that you have with your partner may keep the risk of a breakup away for now, but it is only a transient comfort.

Common Relationship Mistake #3. Obsession

Getting carried away with a relationship is only human. However, it does not take much time before you find yourself to be enslaved by your relationship. You plan your entire day around your relationship, your conversation with your friends are now one-sided where you keep blabbering about your relationship, are some of the common instances.

Common Relationship Mistake #4. Excessive Demands

An ugly fight sparked by an excessively demanding partner has been revealed to be a common phenomenon in the world of relationships. Plausible ones should not be an issue, but those demands that are frequent or impossible or arduous to fulfill can cause a fissure in your relationship.

Common Relationship Mistake #5. Lack Of Gestures

'It has been years since I got a gift for my partner, I wish I had done better,' is another one of the relationship error instances. Everyday courtship may turn out to be annoying, but a romantic gesture once in a while will be a relationship booster.

Common Relationship Mistake #6. Giving Up Yourself

'I gave up my career for my relationship' is one of the most frequent instances cited as a relationship regret. Not only you are letting go of who you are; you create a foundation of a perennial frustration. You start blaming your partner for everything, and your relationship suffers anyway.

Common Relationship Mistake #7. Trusting Others More Than Your Partner

'My friends told me to keep an eye on my partner’s phone' is a relationship mistake that most people confessed of falling prey to, especially those who were insecure in their relationship. Inviting too many suggestions and following them all will only deprive your relationship of privacy and trust. It is necessary for you to steer your relationship on your own. However, a reliable suggestion in an alarming situation does no harm.

Common Relationship Mistake #8. Taking Things For Granted

Taking their partner or the relationship for granted has been found to be a recurrent reason for mess-up in the relationship. Getting into your comfort zone at the cost of your partner’s happiness is something that you would want to reconsider. Once you start taking your partner for granted, things steadily start moving south. 

Common Relationship Mistake #9. Dragging The Dead

We all know when the relationship is dead, but most people just fail to admit it and carry the load anyway. 'I haven’t talked to my partner in months, but I think it is fine' is another highly common relationship regrets that real-life couples are found to be having. It is high time that you declare your relationship dead and move on, rather than dragging it and yourself down with it!
