Love is what make
the world go around. That special connection that you can create with
another person is what makes relationships so special. But keeping a
relationship on a steady course not always the easiest task. The
person you care for the most can often push your buttons better than
anyone else. You may love them, but hate the way they chew their
food, or their awful snoring habits. Sometimes the smallest of issues
can send some of the strongest relationships through the ringer. Here
is a list of little things that can cause catastrophic problems in a
relationship.
Status
Relationship status
can wreak havoc in relationships. Most people have an array of
different opinions about what they want, which can also change over
time. Whether or not the relationship is “official” or on ice
will always be a necessary conversation between two people in a
relationship. The difference in opinion or views can cripple one
partner, or make them feel like they are underserving of an official
status. Either way this six letter word can make or break any
relationship.

Social Media
Nothing is more
difficult in a relationship then talking about social media usage.
Social media is used to virtually connect with others, but when it
comes to a relationship, this connection to others can typically be
discomforting to a partner. On the other hand, a person can feel
uncomfortable sharing their personal relationship on social media,
while another may feel they must show their love to the entire
virtual world. In a relationship, determining the appropriate amount
of social media can be a daunting task to overcome.
Gifting
Gifting is an
important part of a relationship. But giving a gift can be such a
hard thing to do when you’re getting to know a person. Giving the
wrong gift can potentially damage your partner’s view of you. This
small surprise can turn into a big mess, if you don’t know your
love interest well enough.
Family
Relationships
Your relationship to
your parents and family are the first you ever know. But it’s so
important to be open and honest when it comes to how your family
dynamic may differ from your partner’s family. It can be hard to
juggle the needs of both your family and your partner, but it is an
essential topic that must be mastered for the health of your
relationship. If you are not able to prioritize both parties, this
seemingly insignificant issue can become more severe as your
relationship gets more serious.
Physical
Affection
Affection is such a
huge deal to some people, and a non-factor to others. Knowing whether
or not your partner is more reserved with affection, moderately
affectionate, or super touchy is one of the first steps to
establishing your bond. This is especially true for PDA (public
displays of affection), which can end badly if both parties are not
comfortable with kissing, holding hands and other acts of affection
in public.
Intimacy
Even though it’s not everything in a relationship, intimacy is a huge part of maintaining a strong bond with your partner. It may fly for a while, but lack of intimacy or intimacy issues can ruin a relationship quick.
