Tearing You Apart: 6 Bad Habits That Ruin Relationships

4. Be Competitive

Have you ever met a couple that constantly kept score of each other’s accomplishments and/or gestures? Well, my best guess is they aren’t together anymore. We all tend to compare ourselves with others, but it’s a terrible habit to be overly competitive with your partner. Competing creates distance and hostility towards your better half because winning is about nurturing your ego and a damaged ego can cause serious trouble later on. So keep your competitive streak at a healthy level if you want to avoid turning your lover into your foe.
