Every year we go through the same old, same old! 'I resolve to not [insert unrealistic goal here]' or '... to [insert even more unrealistic goal here]'! 3 hours ago I resolved to not do a New Year's day post -- alas, 12 hours in and I've already failed! My thought was how about a resolution that is totally achievable... peace on earth and good will towards all men (primarily your significant other).
On the road to happiness in a relationship there are always boundaries. The quicker you set them up, the more enjoyable the trip will be. So in starting this trek in 2011 there are things that we should never say to someone we care about. Things like, "You're not being logical!" or "You always _________" or "You never ________!" Both men and women are guilty of these statements. These phrases are designed to put the other person in a defensive state -- immediately!
Some Advice:
Think before you speak! Just because it may not bother you doesn't mean your 'other half' isn't devastated! Our goal should be to keep our significant other comfortable. Even if that means we must be a little uncomfortable for the moment! Hopefully, your significant is reading this, blog as well, and will reciprocate the sentiment! Happy New Resolutions! This is just 'Some Guy's View, though!
