3 Things Every Woman Should Demand in a Relationship



Here at BLUSH Society, 2015 is the year of Relationships.  It’s the one thing we all struggle to balance in our life.  Although some relationships are clearly a waste of time, it’s not an easy thing to walk away from. 

Why… because you are emotionally attached and it’s easier to settle because the thought of calling it quits, breaks your heart.  This is so ironic, because you probably find it easier to start and quit so many things in life from quitting a new job to quitting that workout regimen you just started 13 days ago.

Everything we do is an investment, but when it comes to relationships we rather make excuses and keep trying at it- even when our womanly instinct tells us otherwise.  So let’s make a commitment this year to stop settling for less in our relationships, whether it’s with your lover, sister, girlfriend or co-worker.

The truth is that we have relationships because we are in need of something.  But keep in mind 3 Things Every Woman Should Demand in a Relationship.

1.  DEMAND TIME: It’s time out for being used and called upon only when it’s convenient for the other party involved.  My mom taught me at a young age that people make time for what they want. And one of those things for her was making time for church.


 If you’re in a relationship where time is an issue and you’re immune to being stood up and hearing the same old excuses of “I’m so busy” and “Sorry, I’m unavailable,” you should strongly reevaluate how your relationship is operating. 

Maybe it’s time for you to conveniently close down your operation of always being available to service others when they call upon you. 
 
 
For those individuals in your life, it’s time to set boundaries or cut ties because your relationship should not be a one-way street. 
 
Christmas Every Month of the Year:
2. DEMAND GIFTS: It’s time to Give but also Receive.  It’s true, no relationship will ever be 50/50, and I know this first hand from having sisters and a husband.  But there comes a time where you can’t be the only one giving the gifts, picking up the phone, cleaning the house and watching the kids. 
It’s time to start receiving something out of your relationship to make it worth your while.  Whether it’s those movie dates that keep getting rescheduled, a date to the spa or a simple kiss, start believing you deserve something more out of your relationships.

 
 
Set Expectations Instead of Expecting Something to Happen.
3.  DEMAND RESULTS: There’s nothing worse than thinking someone can read your mind.  Start speaking up for what you want and just like your New Year’s Resolution, start setting goals for your relationships. 

You’ve been engaged for 6 years and nothing.  Or you’re the only friend that calls on birthdays.  If you happen to be speaking up, and fail to see positive results by June, then it may be a clear sign to call it quits.


P.S.  I know it was a pretty long post, but this is going to be a fabulous year of sharing amazing Relationship advice. It’s one of those things that come so naturally for me.  I’m going to shed light on the relationship issues we deal with but are afraid to discuss even with our close friends.  Fixing your dearest relationships is critical for Beautiful Ladies Unveiling Self-Happiness.
