After a little introspection, you might discover that your upset has nothing to do with your partner. It could be old recordings from your past playing in your head.
These five mistakes are submitted for your consideration. Analyze your behavior in relationships and determine if you can find ways to avoid these mistakes.

In all fairness, I believe the reason so many women respond by saying, “Nothing,” when their significant other asks what’s wrong is because, at that time, they don’t have the words to describe what they’re feeling.

Relax, slow down and do your best to only charge the appliances that you are familiar with.
