7 Things that are most important in any relationship

  What is a relationship without efforts from both partners? All relationships require commitment and conscious efforts from both partners to keep them going. Some relationships last longer than anticipated, and some falter within a few months. Why? The answer lies in understanding the most important things in a relationship and giving the same to your partner.   So, what are those things? Is it love, respect, commitment, loyalty, freedom of choice, etc.? Many factors define the  most important things in a relationship  you should always ask for.    All relationships start from love, and love keeps them going. But even the smallest of friction and troubles can wither them away. So, apart from love, a few other things are required in a relationship to make it work optimally. To know about these things, read on and make your relationship successful by asking for these things.    Loyalty Loyalty is one of the essential things in a re...

How to deal with inconsistent people in life

  We live in a world where there is no shortage of inconsistent people in our lives. We can meet inconsistent people everywhere and most often in our personal relationships. Inconsistent people who are a part of our close circles are the most dangerous ones as they can cause a lot of damage to us.    Inconsistency in relationships  is never good. But they are unavoidable too. Inconsistent behaviour is not a good sign in any relationship as it can keep you confused. When you meet people, make them your friends or start dating them, you expect them to be consistent with you with their actions and behaviours so that you can rely on them. And it is what we least expect from our relationships. But some people, even after you give them everything, are not consistent with you and keep you confused.   Take, for example, you meet a friend of yours from the gym in the mall and she ignores you to your dismay. You will not like this behaviour and you will be confuse...

Are you feeling bored and lonely? Here are eight things to do

  People often feel bored and lonely without any apparent reason. It may be a feeling of general boredom due to the monotonous schedule. Or it may be due to the absence of meaningful connections in life. So, what are your reasons for feeling bored and lonely?   But you are not the only one feeling bored and lonely and struggling with feelings of isolation. As per the research, 61% of Americans feel lonely and alone. It means the problem is more widespread than you think. While technology has made it easier for us to connect with others using chats, texts, calls, video calls, voice notes, etc., people are feeling lonelier than ever.    However, the feelings of boredom and loneliness are not about being alone but a state of mind. So, what does it signify? What does it means when you are  feeling bored and lonely ? In all probability, these feelings hint that you are missing meaningful and deep connections or interactions in life. As a result, you often fee...

4 Sacrifices you should never make in a relationship

  Maintaining a successful relationship with the person you love can be the most challenging, especially if you are the only one making sacrifices. A healthy and long-lasting relationship often involves both partners making sacrifices to make the relationship last. And it is a part of companionship to sacrifice and compromise to keep your relationship alive. But there are sacrifices that you should never make in your relationship, regardless of the love you hold for the person you are with.    Being in love should never mean that you give parts of yourself that are important to you and that make you who you are. It rather should mean to let you be the way you are. You are an independent person, and so is your partner. Therefore, both have to respect each other's individuality and be willing to make things work together to keep the relationship going rather than forcing your partner always to make compromises and sacrifices.    You should be aware of the...

Are you a gay man and married to a woman

  Are you a gay man and married to a woman? Are you suffering in silence, agony and pain alone? You don't know what to do, and you feel stuck in life? But do not worry, a lot of gay men go through this and you are not alone in this.    Many times gay men enter into straight marriages because they do not have any other option. For example, I know of a friend of mine who married a woman as he couldn't find a committed man for himself. Another friend of mine married a woman because he wanted to have kids, and with men, he can't have his own children. And he was not okay with the idea of surrogacy. I also know of men who entered into mixed-orientation marriages because they couldn't come out and did so under parental pressure.    So if you are a  gay man and married to a woman , what your reasons were? You need to find out what was the reason you married a woman, and then you need to think if that reason is still valid. When you understand yourself, ask...

How to deal with inconsistent people and their inconsistent behaviour

  We often come across people who are not consistent with the way they deal with us on a regular basis. Sometimes they are very kind and warm to us and other times they just ignore us making us wonder what has gone wrong. Inconsistent people not only confuse us but also make us feel disregarded. It is not a good feeling when someone you are fond of ignores you for a few days and then comes back.    Inconsistency in relationships  is never good and no one tolerates inconsistent people. So why should you? No matter how much you despise being in a relationship with inconsistent people, you will come across people who display inconsistent behaviour. For example, you would have known a friend of yours who you met one day and she was so warm and kind and then the next day she ignored you. Or do you relate to an incident when a person you met and you got close to them pretty soon, only to realise they chose to give you a cold shoulder when you saw them next? Also, do yo...

  Some people are emotionally stronger than others and some are emotionally weaker than others. So what is it that makes these people strong-minded or weak-minded? What is it that makes these people strong personalities or weak personalities?   There are many differences between the two kinds of personalities. The first notable difference is that strong-minded people  stay true to themselves  at all times. While weak-minded people are always living their lives pleasing others. But hold on, there are more differences between them and we have listed these differences below:   You always seek validation from others   If you are someone who is always seeking external validation from others regarding your actions, decisions, and choices, it is a clear sign you are not confident enough in your own choices.    We all sometimes seek external validation and it is perfectly natural to do so.
