1. Details about your intimate life
Of course, this seems like 100% common sense, but when we’re all alone with our friends and the conversation goes further and further, we might be tempted to share different things about our intimate life.
Here’s the thing: when you share all sorts of details with people who are not part of your romantic life, you actually allow them to enter your relationship, and you sure don’t want it.
Filling other people in on what goes on inside your bedroom can do more harm than good to your relationship, so better avoid it. It’s your life and your relationship, not a group event.
No one needs to know how often you have fun between the sheets, what fantasies you have, how often you do it, or how many new things you plan on trying. If you have problems with your romantic life, you should talk to your significant other about them.
2. Money problems
Money is truly a sensitive topic for many people, especially couples. How much your partner is making or who pays for this or who pays for that are things that are important to you and your significant other, and they shouldn’t be discussed with anyone else.
Maybe your partner made a big financial mistake and now their income is different than it used to be. If they ask for your help, do it, but remember to keep things private because it’s no one else’s business.
3. Insights about your last fight
…This one is difficult, trust me! But it’s one of the most important things to remember!
Your fights with your partner are only between the two of you! Or at least, this is how they’re supposed to be. If you and your loved one have some issues and don’t get along, it’s best to take a break, relax, think about other things, then get together again and discuss your problems.
I know that the first thing you want to do is to call your friend and tell them how angry your partner made you, but this will only hurt your connection. Just think about it for a second: if your friends don’t like your partner, or if they’re biased because they’re always on your side, you might be influenced by their opinions.
In a case like this, you might even go to your significant other and tell them that you behaved perfectly and it’s only their fault (something like this happened to me once and it made things worse between my partner and me).
Don’t make the same mistake I made! Instead of getting to your friend and venting about your fight, try to find your way back to your partner.
