How to fix early mistakes in a new relationship.

A new relationship can be very exciting. You like them a lot and want to see where it will lead to. But it can also be scary and sometimes intimidating all at once. Plus your having major anxiety hoping you don’t do or say anything to mess it up.

Long-term relationships have already built the confidence to have each other back. Repairing mistakes are easy and no one’s going anywhere.

Fresh relationship troubles.

Most of your setbacks might come from misunderstanding and not knowing enough about one another. You haven’t built that foundation for communicating. With long-term partners, they can find the humor in miscommunication and move forward. Honesty and communication can be the key to not ending a brand new relationship.

Here are some early first common mistakes

Coming on too strong.

Leaving yourself available all the time could backfire, they may see it as being needy or desperate, it can be a turnoff.

Discuss how often you want to see and speak with one another. Make sure you’re on the same page.

Being Dismissive.

Don’t be so quick to cut it off you have to put in the time weeks months to see if you want it to work.

We have deal-breakers, but also need to be open-minded everything will not be sparkles and glitter in your eyes right away it’s new give it time.

Over sharing.

Yes, you want to start out with an honest open relationship. Sharing everything can cause judgement and confusion, take it slow everything doesn't need to be shared.

If you have allowed yourself vulnerable and feeling insecure about how much you’ve revealed. Talking it over is best, it’ll help you see how understanding they may or may not be.

Being defensive.

You’ve just opened up to your new partner, and they challenge something you say or do. You jump to your own defense. Do not defend what you've said stand by it.

Own it, talk it over, if there isn’t mutual respect, you’re better off by yourself. We have to learn to communicate without becoming defensive.

It’s important to build communication and respect, so if any disagreement comes about no one feels attacked.

Let’s reiterate a little.

Coming on too strong: can be a turnoff.

Being dismissive: don’t be so quick to cut it off, give it time, it’s brand new. Over sharing: too much information too soon can give them room to judge you before getting to

Being defensive: It’s better for you both to open to each other’s perspective, and talk about it.

I truly believe rather it’s a new or long-term relationship, communication, respect, honesty is the key ingredients.
