There are plenty of bad behaviors that people engage in regularly. Even good people can sometimes, or even more than occasionally, fall prey to these behaviors.
Being over critical (and on their partner’s case about things) is behavior that should be left behind when it comes to the people you love (and most people in general). Unless you are a professional coach, over critical behavior is unhealthy. Heck, it may not even have the most significant dividends in professional sports. Without having experience in professional sports, it’s hard to say.
Simply put, being with someone that you feel you are always disappointing takes a lot of energy. It is very draining. In addition, you may never feel like you are good enough. Patience and acceptance are fantastic qualities for people to have, and each person can work to become better at both if the need be.
Next on the list, is that there is nothing wrong with disliking or disagreeing with your partner’s behavior (or beliefs). If a partner expects you to agree with them all the time, or never talk about things that conflict with their thoughts or beliefs, know that this can be destructive behavior. Having the ability to express your emotions and your feelings in positive and constructive ways is essential for successful relationships.
Also, a partner that expects you to know what they are thinking or remember every minor detail of how they like things, is just unreasonable. While some things might be priorities necessary for health reasons (think allergies), no one can read minds. It’s simply not possible, at least as far as humankind knows with current science. This ties back in with patience and communication. Practicing good conversation can go a long way in keeping your relationship healthy.
