You can also open a new joint social media account together. Then you will have mutual friends and everyone else on will understand that you are a couple. Post a lot of couple pictures of the two of you, and preferably with kids, pets, the home you share so others get the message that you’re both taken and in a committed.
Understand that forcing or manipulating someone to have sex is always rape. Your significant other has no right to do that to you, and you have no right to do that either. In the case that your significant other has a different sex drive than you, you should discuss options for you both to be satisfied in your relationship- whether that is a friends-with-benefits scenario, explicit movies or reading material, or compromises on how often you will have sex or enjoying sexual intimacy.
Ask your partner what kinds of hair styles and clothes are attractive, etc. Take a shower every day. Brush your teeth and floss multiple times a day. Chew gum so you have fresh breath, etc. There are many things you can do to stay attractive to your partner. The most attractive thing, though, is being a loving and kind person. Don’t work on your outside and forget about your inside, as in your heart, which shows in your attitudes and relationships. Try to be a good and romantic person so that your mate will want to stay with you. Try to be the most loving person you know, and your loved one won’t go looking for love anywhere else but with you.
You can also ask that your partner doesn’t stay friends with an ex, except to be close to their kid(s) in case of shared child custody/parenting. Understand that controlling friendships is a sign of an abusive relationship. If your partner tries to stop you from being friends with anyone because of jealousy, you should begin to closely examine your relationship. On the same token, all you can do is ask your significant other not to have friends or be friends with an ex-partner friends, not force that.
Talk about your dreams with each other. Have fun and laugh together. Be each other’s best friend. Stay unified and on the same page with each other. Be open and honest with each other. If you always have open communication, it will be a lot harder to hide any secrets from you.
Don’t be paranoid. [9] X Research source Yes, people cheat all the time in our modern society, but that doesn’t mean you** should be paranoid about it. If you get paranoid, it will make you insecure, overly worried, and controlling, which are all very unattractive qualities. The more jealous you may become, and interrogate whomever you are with, the more the other won’t like being around you. No one wants someone asking questions all the time and being suspicious. No one wants their life-partner to be non-trusting and non-accepting. Show that you think your loved one really is trustworthy, and that you expect trustworthiness. If you always treat someone as a cheater, then it might become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You might create the very thing you were so worried about. You might cause the very thing to happen that you were trying to prevent.
