Problems in paradise

The most common problems a couple faces. Useful tips on how to solve them easier

No matter how idyllic your relationship may seem at the beginning of the road, in time you will notice that life together is not without problems. Therefore, no matter how much you love each other, no matter how well you manage the problems of daily life, at some point, inevitably your relationship ends in a moment of impasse.

We aim to identify the most common problems that can arise in a relationship and also give you some useful tips on how to manage them more easily.

1. Boredom in the couple / monotony

At the beginning of the relationship, nothing seems trivial to you. It is the period when you start to discover the one next to you and if there are small misunderstandings, everything resolves itself. After a while, however, things change, you get used to each other, you know all the tricks well, your sex life is almost non existent, and you both end up practicing “couple boredom.” To eliminate the monotony of your relationship, you can try to add variety to your activities. We offer you some handy suggestions: surprise him with a romantic outing in a location where you have never been before, organize a city break, try new activities for two or identify common passions, redecorate the bedroom, etc.

2. Partner’s habits and / or hobbies

During the beginning of the relationship, the partner’s habits are less present, the attention being mainly focused on discovering the one next to you. But once this stage is reached, each of you will slowly return to the little pleasures or passions of yesteryear. Remember one thing: accepting the habits of the person next to you is not only proof of maturity but also a guarantee that your relationship will continue to work. For example, by accepting your partner’s passion, you can also discover a new hobby, which you can practice together. If, however, you are not like it, you still have the freedom to practice your hobby.

3. Financial difficulties

Regardless of the causes of your financial problems, the general solution for overcoming them is sincerity. If you have problems with the payment of your loans, your salary has dropped, you have lost your job or you want to make a new purchase, you need to talk openly with your partner about it, in order to find the right solution together. Just as you need to be honest about your outstanding loans, because at some point you may want to plan your future together (such as buying a home), and hiding the truth may complicate matters later. In addition, you will notice that in two you will overcome such problems more easily and together you will find the best solution to overcome the moment. It is also good to know that financial infidelity is one of the main causes of separation.

4. Infidelity

The reasons why people become unfaithful in a couple are many: routine in personal life, decreased libido, lack of money, need for attention, lack of communication, and the list goes on. We advise you that every time such thoughts come to your mind, you first try to identify the cause that pushes you to such a gesture. You will definitely find another way. If you did it anyway and your partner finds out about it, the consequences are not the happiest, starting with the reverse of the medal, reproaches, anger and ending with the breakup of the couple

5. Jealousy

Jealousy is often related to your own vulnerabilities, and here we are referring either to a past couple experience or to the temptations in your mind. Again, the most important thing is to discuss this with your partner, in order to solve the problem in a benevolent and constructive way. Although in the end jealousy is a normal feeling, it is important to be able to control it, because in excess it only brings you frustration, failure and insecurity.

6. Decreased sexual appetite

Decreased libido is a common problem that affects both partners equally. Here are some of the main causes: medical (hormonal disorders, erectile dysfunction, obesity, menopause, certain medications, various conditions), stress, financial problems, the appearance of children in your life, bed routine, alcohol, other couple problems.

Whether it’s you or your partner, you need to first identify the cause that is preventing you from vibrating in bed again and then try to solve it. If it is medical problem, see a specialist. Otherwise, you have to solve the issue that grind you, and you will see for sure that things will be the same again.

The hardest part is that there is no regulation of relationships, so every relationship has a unique pattern, and the surest way to a fulfilled and stable relationship remains communication.
