While surfing Facebook, you will find lots of really great relationship advices but at the same time, there are also a ton of bad ones out there that you should seriously ignore.
Love Conquers All
This sounds very sweet and romantic, but I hate to break it you: it's not true. This very famous quote is basically saying that if you love somebody, you should put up with everything they do and learn to deal with the bad stuff because you're in love, so it's fine. That's not a great way to look at a relationship. Simply loving somebody is not always enough. There are a lot of other important factors to consider. It also implies that any problem you and your partner have will be fixed because you're in love... but that's wrong. Relationships take work no matter how much you love each other.
Get Revenge
Once when I got dumped, one of my good friends encouraged me to get revenge on him and a lot of people I spoke to agreed that it would be a good idea. Hollywood makes getting revenge seem exciting, dangerous, kind of sexy and awesome and also really easy. In reality, getting revenge never really works out the way you want it to and often comes off as immature and petty. Instead of doing something mean to get revenge, try ignoring the person and moving on - showing him you don't care is the absolute best revenge.
Always Listen To Your Friends
While it's very important to hear what your friends have to say, it's not necessary to always listen to them. Your friends are not always right! They don't always give the best relationship advice. Yes, sometimes it's important to listen to them, but not every single time.
Date Someone Who Has Money
No joke, I've heard a few people say this but no matter how many times it happened, it didn't stop being horrible. Sure, I guess it would be nice to date someone with a lot of money to spare, but money should never be the most important aspect of a relationship, even saying that is ridiculous!
Everyone Deserves A Second Chance
No, they don't. Of course, there are plenty of instances when someone deserves a second chance but there are also plenty of instances when it's best to cut your losses and walk away. If a guy is abusive in any way, you don't need to give him another chance, no matter how much he begs. And, you know what, it doesn't even matter what he does if you don't want to give him a second chance, you don't have to!
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
I've heard people say this about taking a break or breakups - but sadly, it's not always true. There are definitely some cases where a break makes people realise what they truly miss, but there are just as many cases where a break makes people grow apart for good. If you're having problems with your BF, don't assume a little time apart will always fix everything.
Never Go To Sleep Angry
A friend used to tell me this all the time. I hate going to sleep angry, so I used to swear by this, but recently I discovered you don't always need to. Sometimes when you get in a fight with your BF, you guys just need a little time to cool off before you can make up. So, sometimes it's actually better to sleep on things - in the morning, you might wake up with a new realisation.
A Little Stalking Is Okay
Seriously, I once had a friend encourage me to stalk my boyfriend. Okay, no, a few friends. His phone had died and I couldn't get in touch with him and she was encouraging me to find out where his friends lived and drive by their houses until I find him. Girls, NEVER DO THIS. Stalking is creepy and weird and will totally push your BF away.
Your Single Friend (And Never in a Stable Relationship)
This friend is often the first to throw you advice, especially around exiting the relationship when they can’t ever seem to hold a relationship of their own. Often, these people aren’t speaking from love and experience, but a sense of bitterness, especially when they can tell you’re happy about the person you’re with. Take their advice with a grain of salt.
Lastly, it will be a short one…
Give him another chance
If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. Don’t give him another chance just because he wants it. Take your time to think and consider properl, if this is the man that you’ll be living with for the rest of your life? Especially if he’s the extremely abusive (physical abuse) type of person, leave him while you can.
Have a great day ahead! Peace & Love!
