Most people go through life pretending to be someone they are not, to fit into the archetype which societal norms dictate. In a relationship, however, it can be disastrous. If you don’t express your needs, wants, and expectations, you’re setting yourself and your partner up for failure. Break the mold and let your partner see the real you. The most robust relationships are always built on unabashed honesty, with no fear of judgment.

Communication is the key

For a relationship to flourish, open and honest communication is essential. Make your partner feel comfortable when they are with you. Being vulnerable and opening up to each other isn’t a weakness; instead, it peels off the deeper layers of your relationship. It is all right to share your feelings, even if it means talking about your fears, anxiety, unease, and emotional baggage. Be a good listener when your partner is sharing their feelings and open up when it’s your turn. It takes patience but ultimately, it will pay off when your relationship blossoms into something beautiful. Sometimes you need to talk about issues that some might consider difficult, like undergoing a diagnostic test for STIs, which brings us to the next talking point- the role of safety in intimacy.
