10 Deadly Relationship Mistakes That Cause Breakups
Mistake #2 – Trying To Change Your Partner
Some of the most common emails that I get every day are questions such as,
“Hi, my boyfriend still won’t marry me after 11 years. What should I do?”
Or…
“Hi, my girlfriend won’t stop flirting with other guys even though we’ve been together for 6 months. She says she’s just a natural flirt. How can I change her?”
Here’s my usual response: Don’t bother to.
You know the old says, “Take me as I am?”
It’s very true. In a relationship, you shouldn’t expect to change your partner much. Because chances are, you won’t be able to.
As I’ve mentioned many times in my various publications, the “character” or a person is something you cannot change easily. Trying to change your partner will only bring anger and resentment. Take your partner the way they are. If you can’t stand them without changing them, then you need to look for someone new!
