What's the best relationship advice you've ever received?

Question

ohshee · Accepted Answer

I don't think that I have ever received any but what I would say is treat each other the way you want to be treated. communicate with each other. Ask a question don't tell a question. In the first time that you lied to somebody it's on its way downhill from there. Be honest one hundred percent honest we all do things for a reason but if you did something and you don't have a reason for it it's on its way down hill but it has to be honest.. not bulshit not Make-Believe not pretend if you don't have an honest reason are valid reason then don't do it and always turn it around would you like it if she was going to do the same thing that I'm about to do and vice a versa if you know wrong from right don't put yourself there and if you're truly unhappy get out of the situation do not make it worse by doing something stupid

Single people keep others single; never take their advice.

I use to be the type to ask for advice before bringing my issues to my partner; but because I'm inquisitive and stubborn, I never take advice blindly, rather I think it over first to see if it'll help my situation.

Outside of all the typical "break up," advice, the final advice I've ever received from a friend (single) was during a rough patch in my relarionship years ago. This woman told me, "Oh, just break up with him to show how serious you are. He'll beg for you back and not act up again. You got to train him."

I was floored that anyone could think this way. My man isn't a pet, he's my partner in life. I was done. From that day I haven't asked anyone else for advice.

Look at their actions not their words.

If he really wanted to be with you, he would've tried harder.

If he can't give you what you need to feel safe and loved, he's not the right person.

Rather be happy single than sad in a relationship. If the guy is bringing your life quality down compared to being single, it's not right. A relationship is adding to your life, not a necessity.

Loving someone is not enough to stay with that person. Be honest about your needs.

A lot of people told me nobody will take care of you if you don’t take care of yourself. I don’t meant just financially but also emotionally and mentally and psychologically and practically.

Bluemax · Answer

My own lesson. Sex and physical affection are *NOT* a mere dessert. They are a main course in a multi course meal.

Lots of idiots, er, I mean relationship advisors make sex out to be a nicety. It's good if you have it, but it's ok if you don't.

Sex isn't a nicety. Sex isn't merely dessert. Sex and physical intimacy are absolutely critical. It is the one and only action that divides friends from lovers.

Also, don't downplay the importance of physical attraction. For most, it can make or break the act of sex.

McKellar · Answer

I can't say if this is the best dating advice ever but...

1. Be yourself
2. Don't be persistent
3. Be confident

I've corrected all of these,... still nothing.

I think a good majority of people who give out either relationship or dating advice have forgotten to mention that you would need to be that person's type.

If not,... either you're friendzoned or ghosted.

If your crush or former crush is being mistreated by her partner, she may come to you and consult with you like you are her counselor, ask about what she should do,... leave you in the ditch and go back to the same person who had abused her before and nothing changes.

If she does dump the guy,... a different guy will be her choice, not you.

CuriousJC · Answer

The best relationship advice I have gotten wish to stay with a woman and tolerate her no matter what she's gone through. I'm very tolerable especially towards the most attitude type of women. I have been in seven different toxic relationships, and instead of getting angry or complaining about the relationship I just converted into sexual romance with her. A real man stays with a woman no matter what she goes through until she says that we're done in the relationship especially when you're not a heartbreaker like me.

petitedollbabee · Answer

If you want to discuss a topic with your partner and you’re scared to talk about it with them out of fear of them dumping you, still discuss the topic! If they dump you then clearly they aren’t the right person for you and all they’re doing is making way for Mr. Right.

InsertNameHerex · Answer

If it’s meant to happen, it will happen. Meaning that if you and that person you’re talking to are supposed to be together, it should be easy, it shouldn’t be a rollercoaster of questioning whether or not they like you or if they’re interested.

My father said that when you start to date somebody, check out their teeth. If the y have bed teeth they probably do not take very good care of themselves. If they don't take good care of themselves, they won't take good care of you either.

MCheetah · Answer

I don't think I have. But a friend (female, white, attractive, mid 20s) once told me, "If you lost some weight, you'd be DROWNING in pussy." I swear, I don't think I'd ever forget that line. Especially since this friend had a Mid-Atlantic accent and sounds like a 2020s Audrey Hepburn.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Lol you stole my thunder. I was going to say "stay single"!

But seriously, the best advice I was ever given was "never put anymore energy into someone then they're willing to put into you".
I think most People's pain stems from feeling used, ignored, just downright like they gave and didn't get back.

Anonymous · Answer

You can’t control the outcome. Whatever will be will be. Also, don’t give up, grow together and get healthy together (mentally). You are not responsible for the other persons happiness, they are, and you are responsible for your happiness and then you can be happy together. I don't know if that helps but it’s what I’ve learned over the years.
