👉 Those who don’t know how to say “sorry” or lack the mindset to admit their mistakes can never ensure their partner’s mental well-being. This applies equally to both men and women. Those who believe they only react poorly but never initiate anything themselves are mistaken. With such pride, it is impossible to keep a partner in love forever. Instead, little by little, one day, they will lose them forever.
Living together doesn’t just mean physical presence. Emotional connection is what truly matters, where physical intimacy becomes almost insignificant. If one person’s mistake causes pain to the other, saying “sorry” or showing empathy is crucial. A relationship is not confined to just the bed, children, or kitchen.
Likewise, the depth of a relationship cannot be measured by regular calls, meetings, or giving gifts. A relationship means prioritizing, taking responsibility, caring, paying attention—a combination of all these.
If you keep making mistakes, saying hurtful words, and then act normal afterward, the relationship won’t stay intact for long. Even animals try to adapt among themselves and take steps to reconcile after anger or sulking because they want to reassure their companions.
If you think acting normal suddenly is enough, you are mistaken. You can’t imagine the mountain of indifference, frustration, and annoyance your partner might have built up against you.
The line between normal and abnormal behavior is control. This means admitting mistakes, resolving grievances, and managing situations with empathy. If you avoid this control, understand that past mistakes are piling up. Your partner may still be holding onto the relationship, but they are carrying the scars.
Wounds caused by words, if not healed, will one day become deep and unbearable. When that happens, it will spiral out of control, which you may have never intended.
So, to sustain love, it is as important to say certain things as it is to refrain from saying others. Just living under the same roof or following routines doesn’t fulfill the responsibility of love. Love means understanding and caring for each other’s emotions.
