The subject of the past in love

This is not a subject that has to keep coming up, there is no point in being jealous of it. His past belongs to him like yours, the important thing is to feel confident to be able to talk about it without being judged and especially to have turned the page so that you can move forward together.

Relationships with family and friends

This can be a delicate subject. It is important to have a good relationship with each other’s respective friends as well as the future in-laws. However, we must know how to impose limits so as not to share everything with them. Your in-laws can be very present as well as yours. Only your couple has to build independently of this. Finally, if conflicts exist before in your families, it bodes well to take the time to discuss this delicate subject with the new person who shares your life.

Friends are a whole subject. Some people think that their partner spends too much time with his/her friends or that some friends have a bad influence on him/her. Talk about your friendships, learn to see how the other works to get an idea of their friendly circle and how he or she evolves in it.

NO TABOO

It is important to talk about intimacy in a relaxed and private environment, as it is a delicate subject that can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially when the couple is starting out and the confidence is not yet at its maximum.

It is fundamental to know how to communicate about it, carnal desire, intimacy, are very important in a relationship.

Talk about your desires, needs, expectations, what you like and what you don’t like, and if you’d like to try new things. Ask him the same thing without rushing it or it obviously.

Money in the couple without taboos

If money is not a subject that we talk about at the first appointments, it necessarily becomes a subject in spite of itself over time. Initially, we only talk about it to know who is going to foot the bill. Besides, it’s already a good indicator of how your new partner views money. And so how it defines itself in relation to that. Generous, stingy, spendthrift, thrifty?

Over time and shared outings, then weekends, holidays, it is obvious that invitations must be reciprocal and expenses shared except in case of gift.

When the couple settles down slowly, it should not be made a taboo subject. Otherwise imagine if one day you live together… Talk together about the salary you earn each month, whether you save for something in particular or whether you like to travel, go out, etc. You may not have the same lifestyle, the same budget, the same facilities or difficulties… It is important to be able to trust each other about this.

We all have our “sensitive subjects”

Sharing emotions, feelings and sensations is a great starting point for open and honest communication. Being able to confide is important within a couple. Talking about everything is obviously essential. The preceding topics form the basis of what we must be able to share. Only to each person his or her sensitive subjects, to each couple his mode of operation.

If talking about everything is obviously the basis for any couple that advances, it is necessary to know how to respect that certain subjects can be sensitive at the beginning. Family, past love, health, or anything else. Sometimes being patient is just as important as knowing how to communicate. The time to be confident together to be able to say almost everything!
