Relationships are an indispensable part of life.
However, in any relationship, conflict can always occur, not only because of internal impact but also because of external impact. The fact that you constantly compare your relationship with someone else's relationship is likely to put your love story in a " narrow alley".
3 reasons why you should stop comparing your relationships:
Diversifying communication
When you constantly compare your relationships with others, you will have bigger expectations than reality, leading to frustration. And at this time, you often tend to be dependent on the other person, uncomfortable with the other person.
When both have not found a way to resolve the issue, there is a risk of a breakup or both avoid not wanting to talk to each other, but in a relationship without communication, it can easily break up.
Increased conflict
When you use others around you as a reference, the comparison will become a standard and can easily lead to conflict between you and your partner.
These conflicts arise because your partner may not find and provide a solution.
General increased dissatisfaction
In such a situation, you may feel quite dissatisfied with everything going on in your relationship.
You can evaluate the quality of life you are having with your partner in a more negative way than possible way.
As a result, you may start to wonder why you are with someone like that. This will significantly affect the quality of your relationship by taking away good moments that have happened.
How to stop comparing your relationship?
Try to prevent yourself from making unnecessary comparisons. Aspiration is useful but it needs to be in the context of your relationship. Be grateful for what you have and focus on the good things in your relationship.
