You may hear this many times that you can make your relationship work, you have the power, it's in your hand to make it work. But it's very common to have misconceptions about it or have no clue how to make it work. Especially if we talk about 'love relationship' then it's way more necessary to have a clear understanding of it.
The first misconception about a relationship is we think we have should have the control in our hands. But the truth is, we can never control any relationship. There's no need to control. We can make it work through our understanding.
Another thing is, having the idea that we have to keep spaces in our relationship. Making our identity separated from the relation is too essential. Because our identity makes us human, keep us moving in life. When we lose it, we lost everything. So keep this in mind that there's nothing to proud about if you lose your identity for the seek of your relation. Rather you should actually worry about it and find ways to solve it.
So, why I'm saying it's in our hands?
Because we can choose to be a better person, to show compassion, love, and support. There's no loss in doing this. Stop the power game and act more human to keep the relationship work. If you feel you need to leave or take a break, there's always a better way to do that. Don't ruin yours as well as other's life.
In a relationship, understanding, respect, love, support everything is needed. Learn, act as per, and try to make it work. We all have the capability to be happy, just we need to have the clue how to do that.
