When&nbsp;you&nbsp;are in love\nwith&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner, it seems as if everything around&nbsp;you&nbsp;is\nnon-existent and that anything could be conquered simply through love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although that may be true when&nbsp;you&nbsp;mix in specific relationship behaviors,&nbsp;things&nbsp;can become turbulent between&nbsp;you&nbsp;two and in turn, might make&nbsp;things&nbsp;to get vulnerable very quickly. What\u2019s even worse is when&nbsp;you&nbsp;know the behaviors&nbsp;you&nbsp;have exhibited or encountered are unhealthy, but&nbsp;you&nbsp;simply choose to ignore them. In this article, <a href=\"https:\/\/saarthicounsellingservices.com\/\">Marriage Counselor, Relationship Expert, and Founder of Saarthi Counselling Services Shivani Misri Sadhoo<\/a> talks about&nbsp;things&nbsp;that&nbsp;pushes&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;away&nbsp;from&nbsp;you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using Silent\nTreatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although going\nsilent after a heated discussion with&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;may seem like\nthe best response, but this is a behavior that&nbsp;you&nbsp;should eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silent treatment\ndamages relationships and leads to less relationship satisfaction. Avoid this\ndamage inflicting treatment and instead communicate openly and honestly\nwith&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication does\nnot mean confrontation. Opening up dialogue can assist&nbsp;you&nbsp;to get to\nthe root of&nbsp;your&nbsp;problem and solve it efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Assuming&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Partner&nbsp;Knows\nEverything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another behavior\nthat couples must stop is thinking that their&nbsp;partner&nbsp;knows\neverything without&nbsp;you&nbsp;telling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;cannot\nread&nbsp;your&nbsp;mind or know&nbsp;your&nbsp;needs\nunless&nbsp;you&nbsp;express them. It is not fair to assume\nthat&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;should be able to\ndetermine&nbsp;your&nbsp;every desire if&nbsp;you&nbsp;don&#8217;t tell them. Many\npeople are not good at reading minds. In good relationships, partners are\nhonest and decisive about expressing their needs, and their partners are the\nsame way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good&nbsp;partner&nbsp;will\nnot think&nbsp;you&nbsp;are nagging simply because&nbsp;you&nbsp;are expressing\nwhat&nbsp;you&nbsp;need from&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;and telling them\nhow&nbsp;you&nbsp;feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Being Passive\nAggressive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping&nbsp;your&nbsp;feelings\nto yourself will seem easier than expressing them while&nbsp;you&nbsp;are in a\nrelationship, but in reality, doing so could really\nhurt&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost everybody is\nfamiliar with the situation when there is some problem and\none&nbsp;partner&nbsp;asks the other if they are upset and\nthe&nbsp;partner&nbsp;says, I am OK, but&nbsp;things&nbsp;are most certainly\nnot fine. If&nbsp;you&nbsp;are upset, the best way to do is to say\nso.&nbsp;You&nbsp;probably want to come off as non-confrontational, but\nultimately that will not do&nbsp;you&nbsp;or&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship good.\nWhen&nbsp;you&nbsp;bottle up&nbsp;your&nbsp;emotions&nbsp;you&nbsp;can begin to\ndevelop resentments towards&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those can intensify\nand result in a huge disaster that could have been avoided\nif&nbsp;you&nbsp;just addressed the concern from the\nstart.&nbsp;Your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;is not certainly a mind reader, so if they\nask&nbsp;you, answer them honestly and communicate about it. Good communication\nwill always help&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship grow further in a good direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Obsessing\nOver&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in love and\nsending cute text messages entire day to&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;may be\nnormal at first, but if&nbsp;you&nbsp;see yourself being too concerned with whatever\nthey do, this may be a big problem. This is actually an obsessive behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to get\ncaught up in the wind of romance, particularly when&nbsp;you&nbsp;first start\ndating, but this behavior can\ndestroy&nbsp;you&nbsp;and&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship. When&nbsp;you&nbsp;start\nto get into obsessive thinking,&nbsp;you&nbsp;are slowly exerting up the\npressure on yourself and&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner.&nbsp;You&nbsp;may not know it\nbut&nbsp;you&#8217;re not giving the relationship space it requires to manifest as it\nsupposed to. Though it may seem as if&nbsp;you&nbsp;are only\nexpressing&nbsp;your&nbsp;love, being a bit too\ninto&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;can damage the chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Showing&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Relationship\nOn Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since&nbsp;you&nbsp;live\nin the era of social media, it is quite easy to over-share in various aspects\nof&nbsp;your&nbsp;life and that includes&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship. It is not\nacceptable to do this, particularly against&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&#8217;s wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of aiming\nto become relationship goals for social media, act on being the best\ncouple&nbsp;you&nbsp;can be in&nbsp;your&nbsp;real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Letting&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Friends\nOr Relatives Get Involved In&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever something\nbad or good is happening in&nbsp;your&nbsp;relationship, it&#8217;s natural to run\nto&nbsp;your&nbsp;friends or family members to discuss it. However, it is one\nof the biggest mistakes&nbsp;you&nbsp;can make and&nbsp;you&nbsp;should\neradicate it from&nbsp;your&nbsp;behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you&nbsp;ask&nbsp;your&nbsp;friends\nabout&nbsp;things&nbsp;they may not agree. Few friends are not pro\nrelationships. Check who&nbsp;you&nbsp;trust to a small few and know that\ncertain topics are not at all for discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&nbsp;should\nfeel easy enough to discuss&nbsp;your&nbsp;concerns with&nbsp;your&nbsp;partner&nbsp;before\ntaking them to another person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marriage Counsellor Shivani Misri Sadhoo reveals the subtle behaviours that push partners away.
