Being in a relationship isn’t a guarantee of anything. Even the most hopeful relationship can go downhill after just three months. I know some of yours have. Yes, the tree-month pitfall.

It starts out like this, you meet a girl, start to like her then work up the courage to ask her out. Everything turns out fantastic and you go out for a couple of months. After the third, you suddenly notice a change. The woman you like seems to turn into an angst-driven, rude and unpredictable bitch.

There goes your chance of a more serious relationship. Just when you started having thoughts about taking it to the next level. Ready to leave the single casual life. Well what the hell happened?

Well most likely is that you’ve both become so full of each other. Whaaaaaat? Well this is a pretty common phenomenon believe it or not. What started out as few tolerable quirks have piled up together to annoy both of you outside your minds.

And all because of individuality issues. Infringement. Something that you haven’t foreseen coming. When little things just become too much too handle. How you always forgave her for being late in your dates, but snap after she does it for the 80th time. How you always made excuses for his rude behavior to others but had enough when he treats your best friend like that. These kinds of things.

It’s actually enough to drive anyone up the wall. So how do you avoid having these problems? Well prevention is always better than cure.

Believe it or not, something as disastrous as this can be remedied through simple open communication. Some things should be addressed beforehand to prevent them from escalating any further.

Some common problems would be:
• Punctuality
• Dealing with arguments
• Keeping promises
• Withholding secrets
• Pet peeves

Trust me these problems aren’t limited to these examples. The main point is that you should be able to address these kinds of problems as early in the relationship as possible so you’ll know how to deal with them when they actually become one.
