Been in a relationship should be like taking up some kind of responsibilities without expecting any form of acknowledgement or appreciations. Though, if they come. They should serve as incentives and motivate you to do even better than it was necessarily and morally required of you.
No one has the power to know and control what is in other people's minds. Psychologist can only guess based on sequence or series of previous actions and events.
So you need not worry too much about what other people are doing wrong. All you need is to focus on performing your responsibilities as it was mutually agreed on, or even better.
The fact is, if you worry too much on what your partner are supposed to be doing for you that he/she was not doing, you wouldn't have time to discharge your duties or perform your responsibilities to him/her as appropriate and you might not even aware that you are no different from the person you are castigating.
And the worst is, when you are aware that you are not been responsible to your spouse as you suppose to, but you chose to believe that your partner didn't deserve a responsible "you".
The truth is "the blame game" is not going to do your relationships any good. Your spouse should not be the reason why you are not a responsible and reliable partner.
Mahatma Gandhi once said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world".
So, if you want your spouse to be a better person, then you should start by being a better person yourself.
Start behaving kindly and been responsible as you want your spouse to be.
There is no perfect systems any where in the world, that's why sometimes no matter how hard you try, some things are definitely not going to work out. So, in the cases whereby things later went sideways(which will be very rare if you adopt the systems pointed out in this article) the other party would have no one to blame but themselves and would have no reason to keep malice on you because you are always being kind to them all through the rumbles of your relationship.
And I strongly believed, if we can adopt this philosophy in all our dealings and relationships with other people, the world would be a peaceful place for everyone.
No matter how difficult a battle is, it will be a bit easier when it is been fighted on your domain.
So, instead of letting people's bad deeds attract bad deeds from you by worrying too much on the wrongs they are doing you. You should let your good deeds attract good deeds from them by paying more attention to the right things you should be doing for them. Which will be easier because it's in your domain.
