People often come to relationships with bad habits when it comes to getting along with another person. They may well have every intention of making a relationship work, but deep-rooted traits stop them from really connecting. There are many these kinds of bad habits.
Jealousy plagues lots of otherwise good relationships. A boyfriend may always suspect his girlfriend of going around with other males. Or, it could be more subtle. A woman may suspect that her husband is always looking for another female to take her place. In each case, the jealous person might have nothing real to be concerned about. This is when it gets to be nothing more than a bad habit.
Selective hearing is another challenge that becomes a bad habit in relationships. People do not pay attention to each other's needs. One person will try to explain something that is significant to them, and the other will say, "yes, yes," but will not actually hear.
Then, when the first person says something the second person is interested in, all of a sudden they are in the conversation totally. This fosters feelings of hostility, and is one of the relationship bad habits that can wear a couple down over time.
People can develop bad habits in long relationships if they lean too much on the other person. They can depend so much on the other person that they lose the power to take care of themselves. A person in a relationship may become irresponsible at work because of it. They might feel that they are taken care of anyway, so it does not matter. These bad habits can take over every facet of their lives.
Some young couples fall into bad habits in their fighting. All healthy couple will quarrel from time to time. Where bad habits come in is the way the arguments are carried out. One partner may have the bad habit of yelling at the top of her lungs.
Another partner may throw dishes instead. Still another may bring up old arguments to try to hurt the other person. All these are bad habits in relationships since they are not productive forms of disagreement.
Lots of people in relationships get into the bad habits of nagging their partners. This has frequently been portrayed as a women's fault. However, men do it too. At times, both parties in the relationship will pester each other. That makes for a very unhealthy relationship.
Blaming comes with its own price. This is a bad habit that erodes a relationship if it goes on too long. One person may be taking all the blame. In this case, that person's self value can get to a very low point.
Other times, people can blame each other. If this occurs, the usual end result is a disconnect involving the 2 partners. They do not aspire to be involved with someone who will not accept responsibility.
If you wish to have a healthy relationship, you need to purge yourself of your bad habits. The sooner you learn what you and your partner need to stay together, the healthier your relationship will be.
