1. Selfishness
It takes two to tango, you can’t always lead, and yours aren’t the only needs to be met.

2. Being too needy
If you need your partner’s attention all the time and need to be with them 24/7 you’re not in love. A lasting love provides some breathing room for both of you to still have your own lives.



3. A failure to communicate
Any relationship whether it's romantic, platonic or work-based needs communication. If you don’t tell each other what’s going on, what you’re thinking, how you’re feeling or what you expect, the other person is inevitably going to disappoint you. Open communication, even if it’s sometimes unpleasant, ensures you both know what your partner wants and needs.

4. Lack of trust
Some argue this is the biggest issue. Well yes If we don’t trust our partner, the motives and actions we attribute to them are coloured with a negativity that grows eroding trust further.

5. Lack of respect
Lack of respect is the root of all relationship problems. No respect for your partner leads to everything from poor communication to infidelity. It's the minimum requirement when it comes to making a relationship work.

6. Unwillingness to compromise
This can also be seen as the desire to always be right. In some people it comes out as always being certain that their opinion is right. However expressed, your partner’s not going to appreciate always doing things your way. For a relationship to succeed, you’ve got to have the ability to adapt to another point of view.

7. Being defensive
This may be one of the hardest habits to break. None of us like being criticized. From the time we’re kids, our instinct is to come up with excuses or deny. In a mature and successful relationship, criticism should be constructive and should be listened to in the same manner.

8. Unrealistic expectations
Before the relationship even begins, we’re surrounded by this idea of two people meeting, falling in love and living happily ever after. This makes a great story line, but leaves out the part where relationships take work, time and effort to succeed.

9. Not making time
Where you spend your time shows your priorities. If you’re always working late, your partner will get the message that work is more important. Make an effort for your partner and your relationship, or you may risk losing them.

10. Love has no rules
 Although all of the above might be true but in the end love has no rules. You just have to make the most out of it.
