Building lasting relationships is one of the most important and valuable things in our human race.
Be it relationships with family, friends, loved ones, or our partners. Relationships are built for a successful future, and when a relationship is broken, there won’t be any future with you and those around you.
When it comes to building a relationship between a man and a woman that will lead to marriage and a better settlement in the future, we need to pay more attention to it.
It is a beautiful thing to build a lasting relationship that can lead to marriage and a happy home. It is also very important to focus on and invest in a relationship, especially the one that is being built for marriage.
In dating or courting, men and women are focused on building a relationship towards marriage, becoming couples, and building a home.
Most of the time, this doesn’t end well as separation sets in and each goes their separate way due to some personal reasons, misunderstandings, or the unavailability of total commitment.
Today I want to shed more light on the mistakes women make in their relationships that do not lead to marriage and thereby cause breakups after the relationship has reached its peak.
8 Mistakes Women Make In Their Relationships.
Let me take you through 8 mistakes women make in their relationships that may guarantee breakups with their partners, leaving them in a state of confusion, heartbreak, and disappointment.
1. Comparison:
Most women like to compare their relationships with other relationships, which is an inappropriate thing to do. When this happens, it becomes irritating and overwhelming to the men they’re dating because it overburdens them. It makes them feel like they’re not doing enough for their women, and this may cause them to lose interest in the relationship and end it.
2. Lack of commitment:
Women who refuse to be committed to their relationship cause their breakup. Instead of being focused on building relationships with their partners, they are rather careless. All they do is make the relationship one-sided.
They do not care about their partner and do not stay committed to them. They sometimes do not think of their existence without thinking of how their partners will feel and act.
3. Self-love:
Women should learn how to show themselves some love, even when they’re in a relationship. They depend solely on their partners to show them more love, hence bringing down their self-esteem.
Instead of showing more love to themselves, caring for themselves, and working on developing themselves, they would rather look up to their partners to do that. In so doing, they lose themselves for anything that comes with the relationship. It could be abuse or disrespect. I will advise all women to have and show some love to themselves first before entering into any form of relationship because they come first
4. Overdependence:
To build a lasting and strong relationship, one must make sure they do not depend solely on their partners for their daily upkeep. Some women tend to depend solely on their partners for their upkeep, which becomes so boring and burdensome to the man. They don’t want to develop themselves moving forward because they feel their partners are there to cater to their needs, and they don’t have to find any jobs.
I prefer that women also find something to do to support their partners, rather than being too dependent on them. Men love and cherish women who are brave, strong, intelligent, and hard-working because they want women who will build their homes and care for their children when they become married couples in the future.
Mind you, overdependency also breeds disrespect and misunderstanding in a relationship.
5. Keeping too many friends:
Friends can make and break you; friends can build and destroy you; and some friends are also unpleasant to keep. Men complain about the kind of friends their women keep because some of their friends are not good at keeping.
Imagine having a friend who always influences you to ditch your man because they feel the man is not doing so well taking care of you. Some friends are. just jealous of the kind of man you have and might want to have them.
Not all men want women with so many friends, so I suggest you listen to them when they advise you to keep some friends away. Study makes us understand that keeping too many friends is a very risky thing and might end up destroying your relationship. Some friends would have to go by all means, especially male friends.
6. Disrespecting partner’s circle:
Men love women who honor, respect, and show love to people. A woman who always disrespects her man’s circle is a total turn-off to him. Men cherish, admire, praise, and uplift women who show respect to their circle (friends, family, workers, etc.) If a woman keeps disrespecting his people, then he will have no other option than to end the relationship.
A woman who doesn’t show respect to the man they’re dating is said to be a dangerous woman when they’re married.
7. Pretence:
For a lasting and beautiful relationship, there’s no need to pretend when you’re in one. Pretence breeds mistrust, misunderstanding, miscommunication, and misconduct. A woman living a fake and pretentious will never last in a relationship.
This is because it becomes a daily thing, with new lies every day. They become a two-sided person who does not know the consequences of what they do.
Why would you live a fake and pretentious life in the first place while you’re in a relationship? Being yourself and living a life of truth is expected of you. Lies ruin a lot of relationships and reputations. It distracts you from being focused on building a lasting relationship.
8. Dirty and lazy women.
A woman who knows how to dress and look good is what every man’s heart desires. A woman who is neat and can take very good care of herself is every man’s pride. In other words, men want women who are hard-working, poised, precise, and good-looking. No man wants a woman who is lazy when it comes to keeping the house clean and does not like working.
In a lasting relationship, a woman has to play smart and be hard-working to make her partner love her more. She also has to be able to take care of herself in so many ways. How to look presentable, speak well, dress well, and also how to carry herself about. Men want to boast about the type of woman they get married to, and a lazy and dirty woman is out of the picture.
Always have it in the back of your mind that “cleanliness is next to godliness.” Look smart, work hard, smell good, and your man will be yours forever.
These are some mistakes women make in their relationships. I hope you avoid these mistakes and have a lasting relationship by practicing them.
