1. Support
When you are feeling there are some difficulties in a relationship, you shouldn't try to fix it alone. I am sure there are such people you can share your ideas with, people who know your partner and you well, and you can compare what you both are saying. True friends can be extremely helpful when you are going through such kind of situation!
2. Set down boundaries
Sooner or later everyone faces with a difficult relationship and it's necessary to set down boundaries. Are you curious what does that mean? If your partner starts a conversation with you when you are home, just ask him not to talk to you for 10 minutes. Or, if your partner is always complaining that you don't spend enough time with him, arrange with him that both of you should have a day break once a week. Conflicting, and hard relationships are difficult to handle, but really worth it at the end!
3. Common ground
A common ground is something that every couple should really have – it is the basis of all relationships! It does not matter if you both have a hobby that you enjoy to do together or you are trying to find such a thing you are both fond of, it's important to have some kind of common ground that both of you could work from.
4. Remember the good times
There is a reason why both of you are in a relationship, right? You should be together for a reason, which means you had some nice times. When everything get worse, concentrate on the good things about your relationship!
5. Communication is the key
I'm pretty sure that you will agree that communication is the key in any relationship. When you are going through a relationship that is the most difficult and you need to work at it for being a couple, it's important to communicate. Things won't get better, just go nowhere if you aren't open for communication with each other.
6. Don't shut down
Sometimes the best thing you can do in a difficult relationship is to shut down entirely. It's alluring to shut out everyone and everything that has to do with your relationship, but never do it. It won't become truthfully and better, on the contrary will lead to one the partner's feelings getting hurt.
7. Lose the frustration
Frustration can destroy any relationship. It can make both of you turn on each other and, moreover, create such misunderstandings in the relationship that are much harder to overcome. If you are always losing your concentration on the partner and getting frustrated, stop and think – what is the reason of your frustration? What is your opinion about getting frustrated over something insignificant? When your answer is no, just let it go!
