Relationship Advice: THESE feelings can take a toll on your relationship

Being in love and being in a relationship is easy but handling a relationship and keeping it strong is not. We're all humans and we need to understand that we all have a dark side that we struggle with. Negative emotions are a part of it and a huge part of our lives and it's important to understand that no matter how healthy and strong your relationship is, some or the other negative emotion or feeling will find it's way into your heart and take a toll on your relationship and leave you and your partner with a lot of emotional damage. But there's always a way to deal with it and the best way to do that is to first identify and accept negative emotions and then learn to keep them under control because that's just how you can protect and safeguard your relationship and keep it strong. Here are some negative emotions and feelings that can impact your relationship in a negative way.

1. Jealousy

It often happens that we get jealous of people who our partner likes or is friends with and spends time with but this isn't a bad thing but it does take a toll on your relationship. Being jealous of your partner due to his or her success or because of their friendship with someone can impact your relationship and weaken it.

2. Insecurity

It's normal to be insecure about your relationship but that's fine as long as your insecurities don't make you paranoid. when your insecurity makes you paranoid, it makes it difficult for you and your partner to keep your relationship healthy and an unhealthy toxic relationship is no good for anyone.

3. Possessiveness

We're all a little possessive about our partners and that's alright. We hate it when we see someone else hitting on our partner or eyeing them but that shouldn't be something that you and your partner fight over. Being over-possessive can have a negative impact on your relationship because after all, possessiveness is a negative emotion.

4. Anger

We all fight and no relationship is perfect. Nothing can be absolutely perfect and flawless and it's only human to get angry every now and then. But it is essential to control your anger and not take digs at your partner. Uncontrolled anger and anger issues can have a major impact on a relationship.

5. Guilt

We make mistakes and often realize them too but when we make mistakes that hurt the people we love and puts them through pain, it often leaves us with a lot of guilt which can be tough to handle but it's equally important to forgive ourselves and let go of the guilt to keep our relationship on a healthy track.

6. Frustration

Whether it's work-related or family-related or simply sexual frustration, it can impact our loved ones. Being in a relationship, you cannot bottle everything up and keep your frustration hidden because it will eventually impact your mental health and it's better to talk thing through instead of having an outburst which will only hurt you and your partner.

7. Resentment

We do a lot for our loved ones but they often end up hurting us and sometimes being unable to forgive can be very hard on us. But not being able to forgive your partner can make you resent and maybe even hate your partner sometimes and when you fail to sort your own feelings and talk it out, this resentment will take over your relationship and eventually kill it.

8. Anxiety

Many people deal with anxiety and anxiety problems which can be minor or major but it does affect relationships. Our loved ones have to live with us and deal with us and dealing with an anxious person is never easy and it's important to understand that and accept their shortcomings and your own shortcomings as well.
