Do You Tend to Give-up on Your Will for the Sake of the Relationship? Be Careful! It might Harm Your Intimacy

When you sacrifice your own will “for the sake of the relationship” your relationship seems harmonious, everything is by mutual consent. However, because you don't allow place to your own will, but rather live according to your partner's, you begin to feel uncomfortable, frustrated and angry. When you develop Self-Awareness, understand what has driven you to give up on your will and realize the price you pay for it, you can get up the courage to make changes in your life and become able to develop and maintain a healthy relationship.

Partners’ spying on each other is not a new phenomenon. What is new is the “James Bond” techniques they use. In different stores in Manhattan you can find, these days, various devises to spy on your “loved one”: a pen, glasses, a key-chain, a tie, a watch, a clock, even a teddy bear - all of which look like ordinary ones.

Single & Dating? Note that People Who Are Separated or “In the Process” Might Not Be “Available” for a Serious Relationship

If you are taking part in the dating scene you have probably met many who claim to be in the process of divorce/separation or declare that they have just recently separated. Agreeing to go out with them under the assumption that a satisfying relationship might develop is, in most likelihood, a wishful thinking, ending up in your being frustrated, angry at yourself, disillusioned and alone. Taking care of your own self-development is a time better spent than going out with them. WHY IS IT BETTER FOR YOU TO NOT GO OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST SEPARATED OR “IN THE PROCESS”?

Self-Betrayal is the Most Horrific Betrayal of them All!

You probably tend to think – like most people do - that the most horrific betrayal of all is a person’s betrayal of his/her partner. After all, this is what you have been brought up to believe since childhood – from books and movies you have seen; from newspaper reports you have read; from TV programs you have watched as well as from conversations with others. But actually, the most horrific betrayal of all is a person’s betrayal of himself/herself: of living his/her life not according to what he/she would like to live them.

Freeing Yourself from Harmful Behaviors within the Relationship Enables You to Succeed with Your Intimacy

As much as you might want to have a successful, healthy and satisfying relationship, and as much you think you do “all you can” in order to have one, you might still, unconsciously, react and behave in ways which hurt your bond. This is normal and humane, and many share this problem. The reason being, that you, like many others, might not have the courage to be authentic, to voice your needs and wishes. You might prefer to “be there” for your partners (or dates), to “agree” and succumb to whatever they request and expect.

How to Survive a Relationship When You and Your Partner Have Different Points of View of How Things “Should Be”

When you cling on to your belief that you are right and your partner is wrong you often find yourself involved in power struggles and conflicts about “who's right”. Unintentionally, you make “being right” your first priority instead of your relationship. You neither listen to your partner nor let his/her opinion penetrate the wall you’ve built around yourself.
