Sometimes people think that in a relationship an almost mystical fusion of bodies and souls must be found ... But it doesn't have to be that way, far from it. Couples have differences because they are different people, in fact it is healthy for them to be. If you want your relationship to work, it is necessary that before continuing, you accept your differences.
If you do not know how to do this, it is important that you follow the following tips and put them into practice. When a little time passes you will realize how things are going better than you expected.
Don't be so picky
There are certain qualities that you need in a potential boyfriend. You are looking for someone who is loving, considerate, and talkative - these are all important traits. But when you have too long a list of demands, you will have to reevaluate it.
Playing too safe will prevent you from getting hurt, but it will also prevent you from experiencing what could be a great relationship. Are you willing to overlook some things or are they a deciding factor for you? Recognizing what is essential and what is not necessary will help you clear things up when you discover potential boyfriends.
Accept that you have differences
Do opposites attract or will their differences cause problems in your relationship? That is something that only you can discover. Maybe your boyfriend likes a lot of space, but you want more of his attention. Or maybe you just have different interests. The only way you can both be happy is if you are willing to compromise. Expecting him to spend all of his time with you is an unrealistic expectation that could damage your relationship.
He has other important people in his life, and he can't always leave everything just to be with you, even if he really wants to. You should be able to respect this and give it some space when you feel it is necessary.
Having time apart and spending time with other people can only strengthen your relationship. You don't have to see each other all the time to know that you love each other.
Spend less time on social media
It's very easy to get caught up in other relationships on social media and compare it to yours. Couples can portray themselves in any way they want through social media. Even if they are experiencing problems, you will not necessarily see that part of their relationship on the networks.
Many couples hide their problems by posting photos of date nights or engagements. You only see the bright side of the relationship, not the fights or disagreements. Social media can be unrealistic and untrue at times, so don't worry that your relationship isn't as good as someone else's. Let go of these high expectations and put your time and effort into your own relationship. Sure, it's not perfect, but no relationship is.
Accept that it won't be easy
It doesn't matter how much you love each other. It will not be easy. Maybe you've been watching too many romantic comedies with happy endings, but that's not real life. There will always be problems, but what matters is how they are dealt with. The truth is, there will be times when you will consider whether that person is right for you and it will make you question whether the relationship is really going anywhere. It's important to be honest in your relationship and make your intentions clear up front.
