1. Your friends
In the beginning stages, you’ll probably feel tempted to spend every
waking moment together – we’ve all been there. But don’t neglect the
friends who have been with you for years. In the end, they’re the ones
you can depend on more than anyone.
2. Your independence
This refers to personal
and financial. Make time to see other people that matter to you, don’t feel the need to include your partner in
everything, and keep a separate bank account.
Independence is healthy and necessary — it makes you feel like you’re in a relationship because you
want to be, not because you
need to be.
3. Your career goals
A relationship shouldn’t prevent you from creating a life for
yourself. If you have personal goals that involve career growth, you
have to go for them. You don’t want to be with someone who can’t be
supportive of your dreams.
4. Your self-esteem and confidence
If your partner makes you feel anything less than great about
yourself, the relationship isn’t worth it. A healthy relationship
shouldn’t make you feel unworthy or unsure — in fact, it should make you
even more confident in yourself.
5. Your happiness
A relationship should make you happy — end of story. Sometimes our
fear of loneliness is bigger than our desire for genuine happiness, so
we stay in relationships that don’t bring out our best. If you feel
unappreciated and miserable, you need to reevaluate your situation.
