If you want to be mentally strong in both your personal and professional life, here are 10 things you should stop doing in relationships.Changing your personality, abandoning your beliefs, and molding yourself to fit someone else never works in the long term. But constantly asking things like, "Do I look OK?" or "Do you really love me," is a red flag that your inner dialogue isn't healthy. Constantly seeking reassurance will likely take a serious toll on your relationship too. It's important to learn how to reframe your own negative thoughts so you can trust your brain without always needing your partner to do it for you.

Feeling intense emotions isn't bad. After all, love is an intense emotion that makes life more fun. It's what you do with those emotions that matters. Learning how to cope with your feelings — even the uncomfortable ones — is key to being mentally strong.You might try to convince yourself that you're complaining about your partner because you need emotional support.

If you struggle to communicate respectfully or you're having a hard time expressing yourself in a socially appropriate way, you may want to seek professional help. Tearing your partner down will drain you of the mental strength you need to be your best.It's important to devote yourself to the relationship. But if you do that at the expense of yourself, you won't be able to be the strongest and best version of you.

A healthy response might range from ignoring the behavior to deciding to end the relationship. But keep in mind your job is to manage your emotional response — not control the other person's behavior.Your partner will let you down and hurt your feelings sometimes. That happens in any close relationship.

good luck
