I used to think that falling in love was a lot like the movies. Two people meet, become attracted to each other, and then slowly build a relationship that lasts a lifetime. And while this is the romantic reality of most love movies, it almost never happens in real life.

For a lot of people, love is complicated as we’re emotional extremely creatures. But during the process of falling in love, we often make mistakes.

I’m no exception. I’ve screwed up more times than I can count. However, I recognize that the only way to improve my future is by learning from my mistakes. Rick Warren said it best:

“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.”

My friend, don’t judge yourself. After all, you’re just trying to navigate this difficult journey called life. But if you want to stop making mistakes in a relationship, there are several bad habits that you need to avoid.

Here they are.
