Every relationship goes through highs and lows. No partnership is perfect. While these might sound like nothing more than uplifting, motivational sayings, there’s a lot of truth to them. But when your connection feels like it’s in a rut, it’s easy for relationship dissatisfaction to take hold.
When you cling to those feelings for too long, it can start to cause more problems between you and your partner.
In the past decade, the Internet has completely revolutionized dating. While some people still find their relationships through chance encounters or blind dates, dating apps such as Tinder have made it easy (and fun!) to meet potential new partners. However, these dates don’t always go as planned. Sometimes, you may find that the intriguing person you met online is a bit lackluster in real life. Or, they might not even look like their profile picture in the slightest!
When life gets stressful, your first inclination may be to turn to family and friends for support and encouragement. When the tables are turned, you are usually available to support them as well.

Why? Because right on the heels of the warm, cozy seasonal feelings come performance anxiety, overblown expectations, and… people.
The next six weeks will likely be packed full of interacting, engaging, giving, partying, visiting, and hosting friends and family.
