relationship rules:

[manders0724]

I would just like everyones opinions on things you should do and things you shouldnt do. Things that are okay, and things that are not. Things you should expect from your partner and things that if they happen, should cause a breakup. I would like as many peoples input as possible. Thanks ahead of time.

 

P.S. Im talkin serious relationships, like when you live together or have been together for a long time.

~allow each other freedom to do what they want, I see too many couples where one wanting a night out with friends turns in to fighting/issues/guilt trips

 

~don't bitch about the amount of shoes/clothes/tools/books/cds (whatever) your SO has. Of course when you're splitting bills your SO's crazy spending can be an issue but for this I'm talking about just letting your partner enjoy what they enjoy.

 

~don't ask "what's wrong" a million times when your bf/gf just wants to lounge or space out

 

~after a crappy day at work don't bring an attitude home to your SO, talking to your SO about work/family stress can be nice but don't take your frustration out on your partner when it isn't their fault

 

~don't nag about every little thing, we all leave a dirty dish on the counter or a sock on the floor once in a while, it isn't a big deal, not worth nagging about each time

 

~don't turn your partner down for sex, even if you're tired or not in the mood, let your partner put you in the mood, passion and a good sex life are important

 

~let your SO introduce you to some things you may not have a huge interest in. Maybe you aren't in to video games but your bf is, instead of rolling your eyes at him when he want to play try to learn a game he likes so you can play together, you may even end up enjoying it

 

~don't let yourself go. It's nice to be comfortable with each other but there is no reason to live in sweats, scrunchies and pack on the pounds. Attraction and sexual desire don't have to diminish

 

~don't bad mouth each others family and friends, sure you may not like all of your SO's friends or family members but there is no reason to talk sh*t or bad mouth them, that only creates friction

 

~do sweet little things for each other, fix him his favorite meal just because, pick up his fave beer just because you know he likes it. Same goes the other way, get her her favorite treat, small things that say "I thought of you" go such a long way

 

*clearly these are the Do's not the Don't's

You should never talk down on one another,meaning say negative things.You should always have hope for one another.Never disrespect one another. Treat one another with the upmost respect in the world.Never nag on one another, to the point where you're getting on his/her nerves, especially on the dumbest s*** in the world Your S.O should always be number one, besides your family.If your S.O wants to have sex and you don't, just do it.Cause if you don't for a while, he/she will find it elsewhere.Love one another family, and treat them with respect. Dont put nothing or no one in the middle of yall relationship.If you are with your S.O, don't give your phonenumber out.I don't care if he/she just want to be friends.Your S.O is all the friend that you need.Their should be communication in the entire relationship. Talk about how was your day, or how they are feeling, etc.Put romance in the relationship. Cook dinners, put on lingerie(women), massage your man, rub his feet, the whole nine yards.Their should also be trust, honesty, and loyalty.Always do something special for one another, even if it's not a holiday or birthday. Buy one another things, again, even if its not an occassion. Don't brag to your freinds about what goes on in your relationship,ex.sex.If one of you have sexual problems, dont get upset and pissed off, instead help one another and learn how to cope with it.It's many more things to a serious relationship.But just love your S.O like no other.You treat him/her like the King of Queen that she is.
