Everyday millions of people start new relationships. A healthy relationship should bring more happiness than stress into our life. An unhealthy relationship is damaging physically, emotionally or mentally. Relationships are a necessary part of our lives, but there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. Relationships are difficult to maintain and some reasons might cause an unhealthy one.

Being always dependent on your partner will cause an unhealthy relationship. Extremely dependent people rely on their partner to make themselves satisfied. This type of people is afraid of being alone and wants their partner to be with them all the time. When their partner is not around with them, they will feel insecure. On the other hand, their partner might be stressed and want to have their own space under this situation.

Also, controlling behaviors can turn a good relationship into a bad one. Some people have a very strong desire to control everything and everyone. If something is out of their control, they will become very nervous and anxious; for example, they want to know where their partner goes, who they go with and what they did. When one person is trying to control another one, this person might find it disrespectful and try to fight back.

Dishonesty will definitely turn a good relationship into a failed one. It’s true that loyalty is the foundation of relationships. Once people start to lie to each other, suspicions will arise. When partners cannot trust or believe each other, they may not be in peace with each other. And they will be trapped in a cycle of arguments.

Relationships need to be maintained and healthy relationships take work. Relationships that are not healthy are based on power and control, not equality and respect. A strong, healthy relationship can be one of the best supports in our life. It can improve various aspects in our life and might help us to become a better person. So learning how to maintain and improve relationships is a big issue in everyone’s life.
