When letting your partner, friend, or family lend a hand in your self-relationship, try to keep a balance between letting them help and helping yourself. Too much towards one end of the spectrum can be a detriment.
Trying too hard to be a lone wolf on your path towards self-improvement can actually cause tunnel vision and make yourself closed off to the positive energy your partner can provide. Leaning too much on them will limit your potential and enable co-dependency. It can also burn your partner out as they find themselves juggling too much between your needs and theirs.
5) Understand What You Want Out of The Relationship
Take a good look at your partner and what they can offer you. A good romantic relationship is one that allows you to grow into the person that you want to be. A good way to know that this is happening in your current relationship is if you like who you are when you are with your partner. For example, if you want to be more adventurous and your partner pushes you towards adventure, you are growing in the relationship.
