Relationship Stereotypes to Stop Romanticizing
Unless you have been living under a rock for the majority of your life, you have heard about some of the gender-on-gender crime that’s been going on within society. The sociological study of gender conflict has been a topic of interest throughout the past couple of decades, and scientists have come to the conclusion that gender is a socially constructed phenomenon that specifies gender roles that are expected from members of each of the sexes. Basically, society decided that women are the nurturers and men are the warriors/hunters of the human population. Many theories currently exist that attempt to explain the origin of the modern gender roles expected of men and women, and how they continue to be upheld in society. So without further ado, the following is a list of some of the most illogical gendered stereotypes that are customarily romanticized in our culture that you should no longer daydream about.

Selfish Relationship Habits You Need to Stop
Selfish relationship habits are a lot more common than we realize. Romantic relationships can be messy and, most of us would agree, that is an understatement. Between forfeiting your bachelor lifestyle to accommodate your lover, establishing common grounds (and negotiating the not-so-common grounds), learning the different dynamics of your relationship, and working out what doesn’t seem to work, it’s ridiculously easy to get caught up in all of the different aspects of your relationship. Once the newness of a relationship passes and the chaos of adjusting to life as a couple has settled, you get comfortable with the way things are. Most of us don’t like change, and we often find ourselves stuck in our own ways. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can be if you get a little bit too comfortable with the way things are and you start to take them for granted. In this sort of mindset, it is likely that we will develop selfish behaviors. Too often, selfish behavior turns into a habit, which can turn your relationship from sweet to sour in no time at all. Selfish habits will ultimately destroy your relationship in one way or another, and unless you are able to identify them, there is no stopping their wrath of destruction. Don’t let your relationship fall victim to your selfish habits. Save yourself the heartbreak and use the following list of common selfish relationship habits as a guide to keep your behavior in check, and your relationship intact.
