Preventing the Crash and Burn Relationship | Love that Fizzles Out

Once the relationship begins to cool and those flaws are discovered, chances are the relationship will crash and burn. Don't excuse crazy behavior (don't give it a reason to continue). While you assume you are in love that does not mean that you can excuse inexcusable behavior displayed by your mate.

Watch what they do - not what they say. Your partner may say things that make you feel great about yourself. If you are too caught up in the nice things your partner says, chances are you will overlook their actions. For example, the two of you are out on a date at a nice restaurant and he is flatter you with nice comments. You are so caught up in the moment that you fail to question why he asked you to leave the tip on the table rather than doing it himself.

Take your time getting into bed so you can build respect and trust. If you and your partner jump into the sack too quickly, it can leave you paying less attention to the more important aspects of your relationship. Chances are you will not have a chance to build any respect and trust between one another. If either of you are quick to jump into bed, who is to say that you will not do that with someone else just as quickly? You must start things off slowly so that you have the chance to get to know one another. Starting slowly will give you time to analyze your partner's bad and good qualities so you are sure this is the relationship you want.
