I Think Good Communication Is Vital To A Good Relationship
The greatest mistake partners make in a relationship is consulting everyone else about an issue first, and addressing the partner last. If there's an issue let YOUR PARTNER/SO know first. It's easy to let others we trust sway our opinion, leave us emotionally exhausted, and blow something so miniscule out of proportion. I'm guilty of it. I only hope that others will learn this lesson sooner than later.
