Two individuals meet, they fall in love - that occurs, in a multitude of various ways, thousands of times all over the world. Then, if they're fortunate and everything goes well, they decide that since they love each other so much, they want to remain together and share a house.
Now, for tied as well as unmarried duos, they have to set to a new situation: Every-day-life decisions depend on two people's feeling, preferences and wishings instead of one before.
In single life, one's the only instance of decision on what party to go to, when to clean the place, what to wear, what to eat and where to go on holiday.
And this independence, being an advantage in the situations lined above, can turn into a problem when it comes to living together. Suddenly, determinations want to be incorporated upon by both parties, and compromises have to be made. Especially in the first time of living together, those incompatibilities can lead to the actions described above.
In the modification point, both need to be careful of those potential risks and respect each other's difficultness in getting along with the new place. Another, the feeling of love and tightness that started the wish to live together is bit by bit replaced with a feeling of rejection.
The natural reaction on being criticized, misinterpreted or in any other way "attacked" is to represent oneself. If you're in use to make decisions alone, without considering another, maybe diverging feeling, you might feel rounded when your partner doesn't share your line of thoughts or wishes. The wildest, but unluckily most common, because instinctively made, reaction is to "fight back".
For example: You wish to go to a party. Your mate wants to go out for dinner. So your first opinion is being "attacked": Why does your partner decline your proposal, what's wrong with it? So the instinctive reaction, from a feeling of frustration and defiance, is to "fight back": A clever comment, pointed at the partner's proposal and aimed to hurt, seems to be the proper reply.
In order to keep off a situation where the only alternatives are professional person advice or divorce, some guidelines can help keeping things from going that far to the bad side.
Control yourself. By determining your reactions and the resulting stress between you and your partner, you'll be able to easily set apart the kind of feeling that makes you react sharp and offending. So once you know where your weakness lies, keep yourself from reacting at once upon those triggers. Think twice, and consider if your self-importance (nothing else you're delighting with a sharp reply) is worth hurting your beloved one. In most situations, a second of silence is enough to make you repent the answer you would have given. Don't get it wrong, it doesn't mean you always have to step back. There are situations when a confrontation is required - you just have to learn how to discover them.
Think Over on your words. Imagine the same situation, just with exchanged roles. Of course, you have to be so fair to admit if you would be hurt in your partner's place. Now that you supposed the touch your reaction would have on yourself, think twice again if it's worth it.
Stay cool. The lowest things are said and done in angriness. If you focus on what you want to achieve, there is mostly a better way than a exquisite verbal or even physical reaction.
Be ready to share responsibility. Especially for single parents, it's difficult to get used to unsuspecting someone else again. But without trust, your relationship won't last.
Be hardheaded. When you move together with another person, that means that your way of life will radically change. Your Independence will be replaced by interdependence: You'll be less on your own, but mostly with our partner.
See this carefully, and if you think that you're not fit for it, tell your partner - before it's too gone. - 15784
