This is what I learn from my current relationship, like a most of the relationship, we have been went through the hard time, we fight for a little thing, maybe for the ex-boyfriend or felt insecure between each other. We tried to solve all of our problem through negotiation, sometime, it's not about communication itself, is about how we choose to react with most of the situation. We know the problem, and come out with the solution, but it's hard compromise with each other. We want our partner to understand us, but thing doesn't works like this.
The best way to be in a healthy relationship is to keep improving yourself. It's true that you are really into you partner, and even willing to do anything for them. Try to think about how you and your partner fall with each other from the first time. You are curious with him and you felt he charm and someone might hold your hand till the last. That's because you are not understand him the way you do right now. He is mystery and that's why you want to know him better.
When you stay to live with him everyday, you will find out he might not what you think he really is. He might have some habits that you no like it, and you try to think about the good side of it. When you stop finding the good side of him, he lose his charm and the feeling he gave to you on the first time you met him. An advice to those who are in a relationship now, learn to be independence, learn to love yourself everyday, try to be the one who you want to be with very day. Stop finding the correct one, be the correct one. It will be much more easy to achieve.
Try to learn new things for the benefit of you, set a target, writing a blog, share about your opinion. Everyone like to be around with those positive thinker, it gives them hope, and let them feel secure, don't be sad if someone leave you. You deserve to be a better you, take sometime to rethink about the purpose of yourself, and keep moving forward. Don't stop at the moment, invest yourself.
When you are moving your focus from only him or she to yourself, you are making your relationship in a healthy way, but don't hide your emotion to your partner, if you don't feel the way you and your partner is having now, tell them, but don't let you emotion control yourself.
You will find out you will be more confident and attractive to your partner.
