After my first relationship turned out ‘unsuccessful’ (in that it didn’t last), I did some introspection, during the years after, and tried to change/improve/adjust certain things, going in my new relationship (which I’m still in).
One thing, for example, was to open up about what’s bugging me (instead of stacking it all up inside), and another was to learn how to quarrel/‘fight’ (which I thought was barbaric and uncivilised, but is very healthy actually, in my opinion).
