In any healthy relationship, whether it was built through free dating sites or through other means, some rules and regulations are needed in order to operate efficiently. Those relationships bereft of parameters are also usually bereft of real love. They’re mostly relationships of convenience and not of devotion.
The truth of the matter is that any couple needs a list of rules, usually unspoken, obviously, in order to work out. For example: no cheating, no hitting, no lying, etc. These are just common sense rules that help keep relationships healthy.
A few rules in a relationship worth breaking for the sake of your sanity
Don’t check out anyone else
Why should you break this rule? Slow resistance might win the war, but it doesn’t necessarily succeed in every battle. In other words, forcing yourself not to check someone else out is going to result in an eventual break. If you’re not planning on touching the goods, then it’s perfectly okay to look.
Tell me how your day went
I think we all know why this one can be broken – it’s stupid! Seriously. Not to cut on anyone who thinks constant communication is a must, but we all have days where frustration gets the better of us, and that “honey, how did you day go” line seems like nagging. You can break this relationship rule.
No planned sex
Some couples insist all sex should be spontaneous, but why? Planning a sexual encounter might be hot and might be exactly what you need in order to have some great sex. Besides, you might be planning to start a family or something.
Conflict resolution is a must
Yeah – well, who says so? Whose rule is it that every conflict needs to be worked out through a face to face apology-fest? If you’re both okay with a fight you’ve just had, and neither one of you are harboring any ill will toward the other party, then the rule that you must resolve all conflicts is one worth breaking. Why? There’s no sense in retreading the territory if you don’t have to.
