If you really want to save your relationship, there are certain things you need to stop doing right now. It kills every relationship and if you love your partner and your relationship, you would stop this now.
According to a study titled Comparing You = Comparing Me: Social Comparisons of the Expanded Self which was published in the July 2015 issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, comparing our spouses with others spells danger. It’s important we protect our spouse from that wrath.
If for example, your friend’s husband is a good cook, instead of comparing your husband to him, the study suggests you compensate by saying “my husband doesn’t know how to cook because I love to”.
Doing this is really important as the study suggests it makes us view our strengths against our spouse’s and that takes the sting out of comparison.
You should understand that there is no perfect partner, so instead of comparing our partner, we should pick up their slack and balance each. This is team work and every relationship needs it.
Always think of ways you complement each other.
