People say honesty but thats an oversimplification.
You dont have to tell your bae every single fleeting thought or annoyance that goes through your head.
Like, keep some stuff for yourself.

Not being prideful and judgmental.
An example is doing free stuff together when youre young.
I lived with a boy in my 20s who felt like free was beneath him.
As a result, we pretty much never went out because we were so broke.
Pride and judgment can really come between people.
Last I heard, that dude was still single.

Just love them, seriously.
Tell them you love them.
Take their face in your hands and say the words.
Tell them you believe in them.
Life is hard and your partner should be your sanctuary.
They need to be told that they are.

A big thing for me was learning not to take my boyfriends moods so personally.
I cant tell you how many little fights I started worrying about a temporary bad mood.

True love is a man who will clean.
Guys, help around the house.
A relationship is a team effort so, c’mon, care.

Acceptance is a big one.
Really, theres a lot of ego subversion involved in loving someone and being with them.
