Solving Flirting Issues in a Relationship




One partner who is flirtatious may give certain relationship issues that may become a cause for regular arguments or even a break-up. The only way to resolve this issue sanely is to understand and study the reasons behind why your partner is flirting with other people when he or she has a partner. Knowing the reason can give you a clear view especially when the reason is about your partner just having a high self-esteem and it’s just a way being friendly.

But there are cases when your partner has other reasons other than a high self-esteem. It is sad and disappointing when the reason why your partner is flirting is due to the fact that he or she is attracted with the person he or she is flirting with. Being attracted with someone else doesn’t always mean that your partner doesn’t love you anymore but this can be normally bothering. All you have to do is to discuss about and control it depending on how much it bothers you.

Love: Flirting and High Self-Confidence


There are relationships where one partner seems to be flirty. Being flirty is just natural and not really bad but we have to subdue it when we are already in a relationship. But since your partner happens to be the flirty one, then we have to know how to deal with it without ending the relationship or having regular arguments.



First, you should focus on the reasons behind why you partner is flirting. Your partner may not have an intention to hurt you that way or your partner may have no bad intentions at all. Your partner might just be carrying a high self-confidence and one way of expressing that strong personality is by what we see as flirting. If you just try to know this reason why your partner is flirting then you will be more confident next time that your partner has no bad intentions and it was just his or her personality.

A Way to Deal with a Flirty Partner



Flirting can be a social, healthy, and fun human behavior. It can be a clever way on how we tell others that we exist in this world and that we are introducing ourselves. It can also be a way to let others know that we admire them and that we are attracted to them. It can also be a way to express our self-confidence. But most of the time, flirtation seems to become another problem in a relationship though we know that it is an overall behavior that is harmless. Most people who are in a relationship will find flirting a disrespectful and offensive action that will create jealousy to the other partner. It can really be a reason that can create conflicts and arguments in a typical relationship that is why it has to be dealt with. A way to deal with this is to know the partner’s reason why he or she is flirting with someone.

Importance of Trust in a Long Distance Love



Having long distance relationship with someone can be hard but it can always survive. As long as you have the agreements and the values that will keep your relationship intact even when far, then the relationship will be just like any other successful relationships.

One of the most applicable values that a long distance relationship needs is trust. Trust is the primary value necessity if you take the chances of having a relationship with someone far from you, also applicable to your partner. Without the values of honesty and especially trust, the relationship could be in great danger and will lead to being unsuccessful. If trust is not there, even relationships that are not long distance will go down. If you accept the challenge of having a far relationship, then you also have to both cherish this important value of trust that will keep your love alive even when far.

Overcoming Challenges of Long Distance Love


In order to overcome the challenges of a long distance relationship, the couple must create an agreement about the certain expectations that they are both to have and the commitment that they are willing to receive and give. There are many agreements that are connected to the challenges of a long distance relationship and they need to be addressed in order to have a stronger relationship.



If you both agreed to be monogamous then you just made it clear that no one will be dating someone else as long as you are romantically involved with each other. Being clear on what you both want in a relationship like this is very important. In a long distance relationship, this will prevent possible misunderstandings and mistakes in the future. Never feel afraid to tell your lover what you really want and need from her or him. You deserve to be heard and speak while on the other hand, your partner also deserves to hear from you know what you want.

Being Understanding in a Relationship




Having higher expectations from your lover in being a friend is just normal so don’t feel guilty. As an individual in a relationship, we often feel that we should be more lenient and understanding when it comes to our lovers. In order to avoid arguments and misunderstandings, we have to keep a more understanding attitude which will mean that we should not let things make up excuses for our lover’s wrongdoings. We should expect our partners to better and not tolerate such wrong behavior. It is just right that we deserve better. For the fact that we invested most of our time and emotions to our partner after all, then we should always remember that our partner is also entitled to the same treatment. If we do this in our relationship, it will grow to something better where we learn about our mistakes in a way that there are no violent arguments.

Know If Your Lover is Also Your Friend

True friendship in a love relationship can be defined as true love after all. This is due to the fact that all the known qualities in friendship are helpful factors in making a love relationship stronger. The only difference in the friendship that we have between our friends and our lover is that our lover is the one we are in-love with. He or she is the one we have commitment with and even share common goals with, oftentimes, the one that we married with or plan to marry and have family together.



You will know if your lover is also your friends if:
•    You can confide and talk to about anything
•    Always there for you when you need someone to talk to
•    Being reliable and dependable when you need him or her
•    Having a shoulder to cry on
•    Having many things in common shared together
•    Accepts who we really are
•    Listens to us and considers our opinions important

Love and Friendship in a Love Affair

When we talk about bonding, it is something that will create a connection between two people and can make the friendship even stronger. In a relationship, bonding is also important. Lovers can be friends, too but they should not be compared to friends when it comes to your friendship as lovers. Your lover is the one you are in-love with which will mean that you can be more patient to your partner than with your friends.
 


On the other hand, when your friendship with your partner is not seen because of the love and passion that you strongly feel at this time, you might be blinded that your partner might not be a good friend to you even though he or she can be a good lover. If this is the case, the absence of one can be very hard and when absence happen, it can be hard to both of you that will soon make the love fade. Real love must also include real friendship in a relationship to make is last.
