Things actual happy/serious couples never do
GOING off the many status updates, engagements, marriages, pregnancies and ecstatic couplings on Facebook, Instagram and other social media, you may be inclined to think that everyone else is happy when you’re not. But pictures can lie, and in fact there are certain things that people who are truly happy with their partners and unions will never do. These include blasting their relationships over the Internet, and these nine other things compiled from chats with couples in long-lasting relationships.
1. Argue in public
Happy couples prefer to wait until they get home to have a private spat. Public disputes are never the way to go. These will only garner unwanted attention and third-party interference in your life.
2. Go to bed upset
Happy couples never go to bed upset, instead they try to work it out beforehand and not let the sun set on their wrath.
3. Abuse each other
People who are happy in their relationships will disagree, but they do not call each other names during arguments — privately or publicly. Also, they never physically or emotionally abuse each other.
4. Refuse to compromise
Compromising is not difficult for these couples because they always try to put each other first by agreeing to disagree or meeting the other halfway.
5. Make their private business public
They never post private matters on social media, including any hint that they might be upset with each other.
6. Neglect their partner’s emotional needs
Happy couples do not neglect the emotional and other needs of their partners, neither are they selfish with helping their partner where they may fall short.
7. Catcall others
They never catcall another person in the hearing or presence of their partners.
8. Bear ill-will to each other
People in happy relationships never stay mad at their partners and bear a grudge for days and weeks.
9. Tell everyone their problems
They never discuss relationship problems with others, especially to others of the opposite sex.
10. Dig up the hatchet
Happy couples never bring up something that was resolved many years ago.
