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 coupleĀ 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!
