Discussing Flaws In A Relationship

By Madhu Babu

All relationships in general will have some flaws and shortcomings no matter how intimate and strong the bond is. There is no embarrassment in admitting the flaws in your relationship and trying to rectify those flaws. Such act of bringing flaws to the table and discussing them to resolve those flaws is in fact a mark of great relationship. It helps you bond more and strengthen your relationship further.

It does not matter who makes the first move to discuss flaws in your relationship, all it matters is that you get things resolved with healthy discussions. As a man you could take the initiative and show you are in command and know how to go about. It sends all the right signals to your woman that she is in secured protective hands. It is important you show calmness while dealing with flaws in your relationship.

Generally flaws in a relationship could be attributed to different views or difference in what they want from each other. These flaws are stacked in the background during the initial stages of the relationship. Cracks appear as time progresses and as a responsible couple in a committed relationship it is important for both to sort out and rectify the flaws. Sometimes you may have fallen for just the physical attraction and later find your woman not the type that you can get along.

Here are some of the flaws in a relationship

Just Physical

Just Physical

Sometimes you may have misunderstood infatuation based on appearance to that of love and initiated a relationship. In the best interest of your relationship and that of your partner, you must admit the flaw on which the relationship was based on and see how you can work things out with your partner.

Gender Based

Gender Based

Certain relationships find flaws that are purely gender related rather than something specific to their relationship. Your girl may be the kind that needs someone to talk to for long hours or the kind who takes ages to get ready for a party. Such flaws are present in just about all the relationships due to nature of women.

Infidelity

Infidelity

This is a major flaw in any given relationship. Urge to cheat for the thrill and other sinful pleasure of it is an issue that needs immediate attention. Sometimes infidelity can be a psychological problem that can be treated. There is no bigger problem than being unfaithful. Admitting your flaw and intent shown to work on it can solve half the problem.

Compromises

Compromises

There will always be flaws not only in a relationship but in people involved too. There may be flaws in you that may be straining the relationship to which your partner might be compromising a great deal to make it work. Similarly you may find the behaviour of your partner at times may be out of line, wherein you will have to compromise and work things around.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

This is one of the most fundamental aspect of a good relationship. As a committed partner, there will be times when you may have to end up sacrificing something for the well being of your partner and the relationship. It is worth sacrificing a football game between your favourite teams for a date night that may bring joy and smile to your partner.

Communication

Communication

For a successful relationship, there must be good communication. A healthy communication brings forth any flaw and even rectifies them to a large extent. A mark of a good relationship is how well the partners are communicating with each other. Miscommunication is a fatal flaw in any relationship that can break it beyond reconciliation.
