No matter how long you have been with your girl, odds are you have made a mistake. I’m not talking about a f*ck up, like cheating. I’m talking about critical miscues along the way that can doom things. Relationships can be very taxing on everyone, however, to avoid any unneeded stress, make certain you don’t do these 5 things.
5. Over promising and Under delivering.
This one usually happens in the very beginning. If you don’t keep it 100 with your girl from the start of the relationship, you may be setting yourself up to fail. Women want to be with a man they can see a realistic future with. You may have grand dreams of running a Fortune 500 company, or buying that 6000 square foot mansion in Miami. However, if you are currently living with mom and unemployed when you meet her, sell her on your personality and who you are as much as who you could become.
4. Being Too Nice.
There is a such thing as being too nice. It can also be called being a push over. No woman should get what they want from you every single time. Having your girl know that the word “NO” is in your vocabulary will help you in the long run.
3. Picking a Trophy Wife.
This is something that all brothas may want to do, and some get the luxury of having it. Be careful what you ask for though, as everything comes with a price. The beautiful eye candy on your arm is alluring to look at, but if she has no aspirations or goals other than spending your money, what do you really have?
2. Allowing 3rd Parties to dictate your relationship.
This could be in the form of her mother, grandmother, best friend, sister, etc. Any person(man or woman), who can influence your girl in your relationship as much as you may cause issues down the road. The last thing you want is a power struggle between yourself and your girl’s best friend over anything.
1. Losing Yourself.
This tends to happen in women, but some brothas allow themselves to get lost in the sauce too. The man you are today should only be enhanced by your girl. There are still women that think they can change a man. If you are dealing with one of them, good luck.

I gotta to agree with all 5.
Before the Internet, wireless phone, etc, there was a thing called instinct. Basic instinct. if folk followed their gut when it told them something instead of brushing it aside, I swear most of the relationship drama would be avoided.
technology has helped and hurt relationships in the 21st century
I like everything except 4. Remember happy wife, happy life. and that is REAL.
I am a woman and #4 is VERY relevant….i've had that…need some backbone his happiness is just as important.
Thanks for the comment Donna. Nice guys do finish last most of the time.
