Mr.
Right and Prince Charming: Making the Right Decision
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
We have seen it all.
A woman meets the man of her dreams (as she would often describe
him during the first few months of their relationship!), they
date, and before you know it, that all-too-perfect man becomes
Mr. Prick or Mr. Know-it-all. Others try to revive the relationship
but as statistics show, most go down the drain.
Before
that all-too-painful relationship ensues, there are ways
to prevent it. If you are already in one, here are some
pieces of advice to make your relationship a slice of heaven
(or wake you up, whichever is applicable!).
To be able to make the right decisions in relationships, you
must first ‘know’ what is right. If you have to choose to marry
or stay single for a few years more, what would you choose?
Both choices are good in their own right, but choose which
one is better for you.
If you are already in a relationship and your partner argues
with you, do you retort with hurtful words or bite your tongue
and let it pass out of love for him? Doing what is right or
making the right decision requires a great deal of self-control
and a high level of maturity. Do not be caught dead at the
end of the day with this statement: ‘What was I thinking?’
When it comes to romantic decisions, my friend, there are
so many options. But, the king of them all is this: ‘Do not
have expectations in relationships or you are bound to be heartbroken’.
It is not totally bad to set standards in a relationship,
but once you set a grid that the significant other ‘must’ follow
then that’s where the trouble begins. Once what you want is
unfulfilled, your doubt would creep on the window and love
would start crawling out of the door.
Oprah Winfrey has a word to say for people who want to be
in a relationship (let me try to explain this in my own words!):
Look for someone who would supplement you, not one who would
complete you. Completion is hard to achieve but balance or
harmony is an achievable human feat.
To complement Oprah’s advice, look
for someone whom you can have fun with. Be with someone who will not push you to pretend
but will make you relax and be yourself. Remember this: How
he treats the waiter will show how he will treat you after
months of going out! So be wary, too, of how he treats the
people around him.
Knowing exactly whom you want is just one side of the coin.
Who you are and who you would be is an important factor. You
are serious and Dylan is more on the loud side, are you willing
to compromise? What about the career that you would take, how
do you think it would affect your relationship? Is Tyler willing
to sustain a long-distance relationship?
To cap it all, what is important is to know what you really
want in a relationship; be able to give way if your partner
sucks once in a while; be ready to forgive when offended; and
be a living proof of what you would want your partner to be.
You see, respect begets respect, trust brings about trust,
and love sows love.
