If you’re in a new relationship or looking to get into one some time soon, the handful of Do’s and Don’t’s below should help you along the way…
————————————————————————————————————
DON’T move too fast: it’s important to maintain your own life. Giving up your friends, time and/or interests in favour of spending every waking moment with your new partner, could spell disaster!
————————————————————————————————————
DO learn how to balance your time: as much as it is important you maintain your other relationships and interests when in a new coupling, it is equally important you spend the right amount of time with your new partner.
————————————————————————————————————
DON’T text, talk: if there is something to discuss, talk it out face to face.
————————————————————————————————————
DO make it clear what your boundaries are: for example, no turning up on nights out uninvited or no discussing your relationship with mutual friends.
————————————————————————————————————
DON’T compare exes: for obvious reasons really. No one wants to feel like they are being assessed based on a previous lover!
