It is essential to engage in self-reflection and pose certain questions to ensure the health of your relationship. Esther Ku, a relationship coach, has identified five behaviours that may undermine your partnership, and being aware of these can assist in averting future complications.

Often, individuals may be unaware of their self-sabotaging tendencies until challenges emerge. In a recent Instagram post, Esther provided insights on "how to truly damage your relationship: advice from a relationship coach."

Do you assume the worst in your partner's words?

Consider the five ways you may be inadvertently harming your relationship, as outlined by Esther:

1. Dismiss any efforts made by your partner to express their thoughts, insist on having your opinions acknowledged, and continuously challenge them until they concede.

2. Interpret your partner's words in the most negative light and fixate on how deeply they have hurt you, irrespective of their true intentions.

3. Hold onto past grievances, even after accepting their apology, and periodically remind them of these issues, ensuring they remain fresh in your memory.

4. Make their emotions a measure of your own feelings. If they experience sadness, assert that your reasons for sadness are greater. If they are in pain, highlight how their situation affects you.

5. Maintain a rigid and uncompromising position, avoid compromise, and be excessively critical, focusing on minor details.

Do you recognize any of these behaviours? 

Preserving a relationship can be difficult, yet it is achievable with dedication, effort, and a readiness to address challenges. If you seek guidance on how to strengthen your relationship, a marriage coach recently shared a series of 'powerful questions' on Instagram that can help restore your relationship and rebuild your trust in marriage.
