First of all, you should never have to try to keep your partner. Your partner should want to be with you because they ACTUALLY want to be with you.
So, if you’re been trying or looking for ways to keep your partner, then should you really be in a relationship?
These Are 5 Things You Should Never Do To Keep Your Partner
Act Dumb
You should never want to dumb down yourself because of another person. You might be thinking that if you play a bit stupid, they will like you or you will stop intimidating them.
You should never be scared or apologetic about being your true self.
If a person cannot connect with you on a deeper intellectual plane, then you shouldn’t even be with them or at least you should not try to make yourself look dumb for their sake.
Pretend To Like Things You Hate
I know you want to look cool to them, so you pretend that you hate things that you actually like and that you like things you actually hate.
Don’t do it. Don’t pretend.
You do not have to watch the same genre of movies that they like or like the same songs that they like. It’s okay to be a little different from them. A person who wants you will accept all your differences and would not ask you to mirror them.
Become A Stereotype
Oh this! This is one people fall into a lot of the times.
Most times your partner have a stereotype of the kind of person they want to be with. Don’t become that stereotype if it isn’t you already. Do not pretend to be someone else because you will only end up being terribly unhappy.
Always be confident in your own skin and most importantly learn to be your own person, every other person is taken.
Alter Your Physical Appearance
Don’t change yourself physically because of your partner.
Don’t cut your hair or dye it. Don’t pierce yourself or get a tattoo because your partner thinks it will look cool.
Don’t start wearing long skirts and long shirts because your partner prefers modesty.
You shouldn’t allow your partner try to mold you into their idea of what their ideal person should look like physically.
Leave Your Friends
If a person you like is telling you to leave your friends or family for them, run!
Remember your friends were there before your relationship and when things end, they will still be there.
Hanging out with your partner in a relationship is great, but hanging out with your friends is also equally great. You should look for a balance so that none feels neglected.
