11. The Things You Need In Order To Be Happy
Do you require a decent amount of alone time in order to decompress? Do you kind of need nine hours of sleep, and hate to be woken up? Are you all about hugs, or do you prefer some more space? Tell your partner what you need to be happy, so they can better understand you.
“This is not meant to be exhaustive, and part of the fun of a new relationship is finding out things about each other,” says Pailet. “But it’s really helpful for your partner to know some critical pieces of information around your comfort and safety. The more self-aware you both are, the more you can trust each other’s judgment.”
The beginning of your relationship is the perfect time to be honest and open with these things. And the more info you give each other, the easier it’ll be to have a healthy, happy, supportive situation going forward.
12.Your Plans For The Future
I’m not talking long-term here, but you should definitely share your short-term plans. If you have every intention of joining the Peace Corps in the next six months, this is definitely something you tell someone before you get into a relationship with them. It’s unfair to you both if you start something, it’s great, you’re both in love, then you’re being shipped off for a two-year stint in a country a world away.
