12 Things You Should Never Sacrifice In A Relationship

ou've been there before: You meet someone new and become overwhelmed by the emotion and excitement of their presence in your life. How could you not feel this way?

You're spending a lot of time together, texting and chatting constantly, enjoying each other's presence, and things seem to be moving forward more quickly than you'd expect.

That's okay though, because they're unlike anyone else you've ever met, and they are amazing.

Except for that thing they did a few weeks ago, but you let that go.

And that other thing they said about your friend…but it wasn't really a big deal.

And the way they ditched you the other night without any explanation, but you're sure there was a good reason you'll find out eventually…

And…and…and…

A flurry of small things arise over time that you choose to overlook (or simply…miss), because of the overwhelming excitement that you're still feeling.

The problem with this, as you've likely experienced, is that you could miss some very real dealbreakers that, if you were thinking clearly, you'd never accept in your life.

But, as I've said to clients before: It's not actually a dealbreaker if it doesn't break the deal. Perhaps, though, it should've.

There are some things that you simply should not overlook nor accept in your relationships. Behaviors you shouldn't tolerate. Red flags you shouldn't ignore. Sacrifices you just should not make.
