One of the greatest ambivalence that human beings feel is the desire to have a relationship and the desire not to have a relationship. Much is due to relationship problems that arise from being with someone.

The main causes of relationship problems are due to the media that influence us since we are children. In addition, after that our fantasies, or desires, enter. We come to fantasize about what the ideal partner is like, and how he or she should behave, act, and think.

Even more so, that relationship problems are caused by the lack of respect for the individuality of the other. Consequently, we don’t want the other to take actions, decisions that are totally different from what we think or want. Therefore, we can say that relationship problems are also the result of our frustration when trying to control our partner. Consequently to this frustration, it results in abusive treatments. From the same point of view, we can reflect that abusive relationships don’t come out of nowhere. Instead, they grow over time.

Certainly, many people still want to fight to make their relationships work. Therefore, what attitudes or methods can we apply in order to effectively solve problems in the relationship? In order to achieve fluid communication with our partner, it is imperative that we leave our pride outside and consider the other as more important than ourselves. However, we are not saying that we must humiliate ourselves to the other, but it is to face what the other will tell us as more important.
