Romance can make us blind to all the signs that we are in a bad relationship. It is difficult to accept the fact that the loves of our lives can also possess awful, sometimes dangerous qualities. Relationships are complex organisms, so it's difficult to define the overall dos and don'ts. There are many things you should never tolerate in a relationship.
* Cheating and lying
Of all the things you should never tolerate in a relationship, cheating is an obvious one. Cheating should not be tolerated in a relationship for several reasons. Cheating breaks trust, which is a major foundation of a healthy relationship. In addition to cheating, perpetual lying should not be tolerated as trust is a key foundation in any relationship. It's time to rethink your relationship with that person.
* Abusive relationshipsNever tolerate an abusive relationship. The most telling sign that you are in an abusive relationship is fear of your partner. If you have experienced or seen consistent signs of physical, emotional or sexual abuse from your partner, it is high time you escaped. Healthy relationships equal respect and trust.
* If he/she disrespects your bodyMaking remarks on how you look is one of the main things you should not tolerate in a relationship. You should learn to love and accept your partner they way they are. No one is perfect.
* A controlling partnerControlling people have low self-confidence. They want to know where you will be at all times, who you will be with, and want to dictate every aspect of your life so you have no room to make your own choices. They want you all to themselves, and will stop at nothing in order to achieve this goal.
* Sleep deprivationNever tolerate sleep deprivation. Your productivity suffers when your body and mind are deprived of adequate time to rest and recover in a comfortable, clean sleeping environment every night.
