Sometimes, after a certain amount of time passes, we start developing bad habits in front of our partners...without even realizing it! The next thing you know, the proverbial relationship rug is pulled out from under you, and you're left scratching your head with a broken heart.

Even though you're comfortable with your bae, you still need to pay attention to what you're saying and doing.

Annoying, mean, hurtful, cruel...those are the things you should avoid being above all!

1. Chewing Loudly

Eating like a big slob who makes a huge racket while eating is a pretty quick way to annoy the heck out of your partner.

First off, it shows your Prince Charming a different, totally un-glamorous side of you, which could put a damper on his desire for you.

Secondly, it's the type of small detail that he might ignore in the beginning but once he notices, it will become more and more obvious to him.

Look, either you're going to hate him because he makes so much noise while eating or vice versa. So both of you, keep your mouths closed, don't talk with them full and eat at the dinner table!

2. Yelling too much

You might not realize it, but lately when you're calling out to your partner, it's more like yelling, or you raise your voice frequently in conversation.

Even if you're just getting excited about what you're saying, constantly yelling your ideas across will eventually get to him.

Tension, stress, annoyance: all that can build-up and start triggering explosive fights on the reg.

So if you're used to speaking calmly, to taking some pauses for your partner to respond and to never yell from one end of the apartment to the other: you will never bother him... And he'll always love you. Er, in theory.

3. Sighing constantly

We're not saying you don't have the right to breathe! But sighing rather than saying what's on your mind is an easy way to ruin you relationship.

This will inevitably exasperate your partner, and you end up looking like a shrew who's shut down your communication circuit. Stop doing this, and start speaking!

"Hey Johnny, would you mind emptying the dishwasher? I'm running pretty late! Yes? Oh thank you, babe..."

And voila! That's the kind of couple that lasts.

4. Passing judgements

Once you start judging your partner, you can become very, very harmful.

"Anyway you, you're incapable of..." Um. No. Just because you've known each other for several years doesn't mean respect goes out the window.

And anyway, a couple without mutual respect is already doomed. So let's just calm it down a bit and remember why you love him so much rather than focusing on his flaws.

If he's really a jerk or an idiot, then just leave him already.

5. Forgetting

Forgetting to say thank you, forgetting to say I love you, forgetting to give him a kiss when you part or a morning cuddle, forgetting that all this could be over tomorrow, forgetting that we shouldn't lack consideration or respect... So many little oversights can spell the end for a couple.

Just STOP! Remind yourself to never take advantage of your partner, and never stop nurturing your relationship. It's not a big deal if you fight now and then, but it is when you can't do anything about it.
