Be Patient....

Problem: During our relationship, I have become very impatient with my boyfriend/girlfriend. I am very quick to snap at him/her for little things and somehow i fight with him/her about everything. I don't want to fight, but I cant help it, I feel like this is the end of the road for us.

Advice: During a relationship, it is easy to become tired and impatient. Sometimes, you just want to give up. We all know being in a relationship has its challenges, but you have to be patient and forgive easily. Everyone is guilty of getting upset too quickly... do you forgive as easily as well? If you find yourself getting upset, take a moment to gather your thoughts and talk to your partner about what is bothering you. Be constructive and when you are finished, have something to do. example: him: I will try not to leave the toilet seat up. her: I will try not to get upset when you leave it up and will politely remind you if you forget.
