Whats the best relationship advice youve ever received?

Whats the best relationship advice or wisdom youve ever received?

Most of your answers qualified as general life advice concerning basic decency and empathy. But there were also legitimate gems:

Invest in a really good dildo.

Be honest with yourself and your partner. Be patient.

Always ensure that the other person respects and loves you for exactly who you are.

Make sure youre in a good place in life before you invite someone else in.

Its okay to want to be single. Singledom is not just a vacuum waiting to be filled with a relationship sometimes its healthy and necessary.

A few years ago, a 75-year-old lady on a train told me to take your time, dont stress and go with the flow. Have been doing that ever since and feel pretty good about it.

Dont be a dick. Although thats just common sense.

If youre going to cheat, cheat with someone out of town. Theres less chance of the two meeting.

Dont fuck with married men.

Stop talking.

Communication is key.

Tell her you love her every day.

Lust and infatuation are things that fade away eventually for absolutely everyone. Real love is waking up every day and choosing to love your partner, to stand by them through the ups and downs. Its also way more rewarding than lust. Never take your relationship or your partner for granted thats the death of relationships. The more love, appreciation, time, commitment, trust and work you put in a relationship, the more youll get out of it (including things you didnt imagine were possible).

If you dont love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?

Marry your best friend.

Take your love out on a canoe trip into the deep woods at the height of black fly season. Then decide if you want to marry them.

No matter what you look or act like, youre bound to be someone elses exact type.

Dont have kids.

If theyre not saying yes, then theyre saying no.

Dont take shit from anyone, including yourself, for the sake of an orgasm.

You have to love the person you are when youre with him. If he makes you feel like anything but yourself, or like you arent good enough the way you are, get out of it.

“Get out of a shitty, abusive relationship situation even though it may seem hard, it’ll be so much better in the long run.”

Find someone who can make you laugh when you dont want to laugh.

It only comes along when youre not looking for it.

Dont live-tweet your fights.
