2. Your partner doesn’t help you to be a better person.
When we’re in a good relationship, we’re happier, live longer, have less stress, fewer mental health problems, and less pain. In addition, when you’re with a good person, they should help you be a better person.
Researchers refer to this experience as self-expansion, and your relationship should help to provide you with opportunities for self-growth. When you have a solid base of support from a partner, you feel more comfortable taking bigger chances and achieving bigger goals.
The more you’re able to grow, the better your relationship becomes, with higher levels of passion, more excitement, less boredom, and stronger ties. If your partner isn’t helping to build a better you, you need a better partner.
