Worse than adultery: 12 things that can seriously threaten your relationship or marriage

Cheating is undoubtedly a quick way to completely destroy a love relationship, but there are quite a few other things that can be much, much more powerful than cheating when it comes to destroying your relationship.

One of the worst things that can lead to the end of your relationship (but not cheating) is they start as little things, and that is also why they can be so very dangerous. So what 12 things are worse than adultery and can completely destroy your relationship?

Lying and hiding things from your partner

Never lie to your partner!
Never lie to your partner!

Even if you are doing it to avoid hurting your partner, hiding things from him can become a big problem, destroy trust and destroy the relationship. You should be willing to tell your partner almost anything. If you're hiding something that could hurt him, then you basically shouldn't be doing it.”

Lack of communication

Communication is not based on several text messages or messages on social networks that you exchange during the day, but on whether and how you talked about the things that bother you. If you don't tell each other these things, they will build up and eventually reveal themselves in a way that neither of you wants.

Presenting yourself in a different or false light at the beginning of the relationship

Never hide yourself from your partner.
Never hide yourself from your partner.

It's always best to be honest from the start and say what you're looking for. These things, which may seem like minor problems to you now, may eventually be enough reason to end the relationship.

Abstaining from any affection

Whether affection for you means that you like to cuddle, ask each other about the meaning of life and other meaningful things, or help each other overcome obstacles, absence and dislike can also be what can cause a relationship doubts that are ultimately irreparable.

Stubbornness and principles

Stubbornness does not lead to compromises.
Stubbornness does not lead to compromises.

This is just one more way to communicate that you are "not ready to compromise". If you really like and love someone, you have to be prepared to make compromises. A partner who accepts compromises only if they go his way is, so to speak, in a relationship with himself.

Accumulating silent resentments

By the time you even express your resentment, the damage to the relationship will have already been done. It all starts quietly, but eventually grows into something big, and that's why silent, unspoken resentments can be so damaging.

Staying in a relationship for convenience

Staying in a relationship for convenience can make you very unhappy.
Staying in a relationship for convenience can make you very unhappy.

Whether it's because you don't want to disappoint your family, or because you've bought tickets for a concert six months from now, staying in a relationship "because you have to" can lead to resentment and more arguments, and ultimately to broken hearted.

Staying in a relationship because they depend on each other

You are together either because you depend on each other or because neither of you wants to be single. In other words, the chemistry between you two is gone, and the only reason you're together is because you don't want to or can't be alone.

Arguing about routines, daily chores and tasks

Arguing about chores can turn into a serious problem.
Arguing about chores can turn into a serious problem.

Maybe fighting over who will take out the trash or wash the dishes doesn't seem right to you right now big deal, but these things eventually become a serious problem and cause a bigger, much more serious fight.

Underestimating your partner

A lofty attitude towards your partner is just another way to show your strength. And an imbalance of power between partners is something you don't want in a healthy and long-term relationship. This can be worse than cheating, as it completely destroys your partner's confidence. And even if the relationship ends, you can still feel the hurt.

Manipulation

Manipulation can have serious consequences.
Manipulation can have serious consequences.

You are often not even aware of the manipulation (even if you are doing it yourself) until it is too late. Such a relationship can really hurt you, not only because your heart will be broken, but because your self-esteem will be broken.

Jealousy

And even if the partner is not cheating, the doubt that this is happening can be much, much worse.
