To spot bad habits in a relationship, take a good look at yourself and talk openly with your partner. Here’s how you can do it:
Think about yourself: Look at how you act and how you respond in tough situations. What causes problems?
Ask for feedback: Get your partner’s honest opinion about your behavior and listen carefully.
Notice repeating problems: If you hear the same complaints often, these are things to work on.
Check your values: Make sure your actions match what you both value in the relationship.
Get help if needed: Sometimes, seeing a counselor or therapist can help you understand things better.
Set goals: Think about ways you can grow and be better for the relationship.
Talk openly: Keep discussing your feelings and goals with your partner.
