Trust Yourself If You Want a Better Romantic Relationship

Trust is a word that makes us feel good, especially n a relationship.

GenuLines turns the idea inward for a look at relationships and self-trust.

One of the keys to a stable romantic relationship is self-trust.

Without it your partner can lose confidence in you over time. You’ll have problems making decisions.

And there may be a few sexual problems, too.

Romantic relationships have a foundation of trust. You may have it for your partner but not yourself.

Let’s say you put yourself down in front of your partner. They may go along with you in the beginning, but that behavior will get old over time.

Contrast this behavior with trusting yourself.

You’ll be more confident. And your partner will pick up on this.

You’ll have both your emotional and physical needs met. That’s sure to spice up your relationship.

If you don’t trust yourself, it’s not likely you’ll share your feelings with your partner. Communication is another relationship building block.

Without it you could by headed for a break-up.

Trust issues can affect your attitude. You’ll send out negative energy toward those around you, including your partner.

Would you want to hang around someone who’s negative?

It’s very likely you won’t. Over time, you’ll look for ways to avoid that person.

Make sure that person isn’t you.

Sharing negative feelings with your partner is different from being negative. It’s pretty much impossible to be positive 100% of the time.

Aim for striking a balance and working towards being more positive than negative. That can’t happen if you doubt yourself.

A bit of effort and a healthy dose of self-trust gives your relationship a better chance to work.

Your partner will be happier and so will you. You have a choice.

Stay closed and lack trust in yourself. Or open up and gain the confidence to have the best possible relationship.
