Staying true to yourself in a relationship
We all have to meet people halfway sometimes, but try too hard to please your boy - and you could lose sight of who you are. In a world that’s big on looking out for number 1 (i.e. you!) it can be easy to forget relationships rely on a little give and take to stay happy and healthy. At the same time, it is possible to get a little TOO good at compromise.
We all have to swallow our pride and meet people halfway sometimes, but try too hard to please your boy, and you could lose sight of who you are.
My body, my way
Sex is a big issue for a lot of people. Some guys can be pretty demanding about what they want from a girl physically, and if you’re not clear about how far you want to go with someone, you could get pressured into doing something you don’t want to. If you have clear limits it’ll be easier to stick to them.
When rough is tough.
No matter how good someone is at making you feel like you deserve to be abused - physically or sexually - they’re wrong. Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as harmful, if a lot more subtle, but if someone is constantly negative towards and about you, don’t take it! You don’t have to put up with that crap.
Where did I go?
It can be easy to lose your identity in a relationship, especially if it’s the first time you’ve really fallen for someone. You get so into each other, you end up morphing into one - and not in a good way! Keeping your individuality is so important, and your relationship will be all the better for it.
If you feel like you’re changing because of the person you’re with, take time out to ask yourself why. Sometimes we need to be a little more confident about who we are, respect ourselves and be true to who we are and who we hope to be.
Stay true to yourself in a relationship, and it’ll improve it - honest! Whoever you’re with obviously likes the girl you are or they would be with you. Don’t go changing yourself to please someone else, just be the best you YOU can be!
Disclaimer: If it’s over who gets to pick the movie, or how often he eats pizza, it’s probably not worth getting all girl-power about. Stand your ground on the important stuff, and do your best to compromise on the rest!
