College for Idiots: Advice

So, here is my advice from someone who has had some relationship problems. I don't take my own advice and I should. However, since I don't I figure maybe someone else will.
1. Apparently my biggest relationship fall back is constantly worrying that I am going to lose the guy I'm with at the time. Don't do that. It stresses you out; it stresses your girlfriend/boyfriend out, and most of all it stresses your relationship out.

2. Always tell your partner what is bothering you. Don’t listen to anyone that tells you to talk to them and not your partner. You need to tell them when you have a problem. If you value your relationship and you want it to last don’t hide anything. The rough patches and the small problems are what make your relationship better in the long run.

3. Fight. Yes, the fight might have seemed pointless and you may not have had a legitimate reason to fight but for some reason it needed to happen. I have been with the same guy for almost two years and I don’t regret a single fight we ever had. Yes, I caused a lot of them for no good reason, but there was something there. It was my insecurity and it was going to rear its head sometime so just fight and be done with it.

4. When you argue never say: “well, fine just break up with me”. If your partner hears it enough they will begin to consider it and do just that. All it takes is one fight and that comment and you are single.

5. Never move in without asking.

6. Never give hints. If your partner is content with the way things are they won’t see the hint. Whether they don’t want to recognize the hint that they are doing something wrong or they just don’t get it. Never hint; everyone deserves honesty. Don’t skirt around the important shit.

7. Never ever talk bad about someone you want back. I was dumped by my boyfriend and I was devastated. However, I wanted him back. He told me two months later (when we got back together) that I almost lost him completely because I bad mouthed him. Get angry in another way. Go to the gym. Develop a hobby. Don’t talk bad about someone you still love or for that matter loved, it won’t get you anywhere.
If you didn’t catch on from the article I went through a bad breakup, but I am still a romantic. Love fixes a lot of stuff. I got the guy back but sometimes the damage you can cause because of your own issues is irreversible.
