Relationship and exes

Relationship is never an easy thing. Even though all of us may want a simple relationship (whatever that means) with as little conflicts as possible. But each individual are different, so conflicts are inevitable at a point of time. When two difference personalities and views of life are together, there are bound to be a difference in opinion. Well, I'm not trying to be negative on the topic of relationship, in fact I'm doing the opposite. Yes, conflicts are inevitable, but a strong relationship is the one that has less of those. Compromise, communication, understanding between both parties are important.

The other thing is about exes. Most likely when two people decide to be in a relationship, both parties already have their past relationships. I think it is a wise choice not to compare yourself to your partner's ex, no matter how tempting it is. To me, it's just the ego talking, wanting to see whether you are better than that person and because of that, you are together with your partner and not that other person. But it's also a double edged sword, in which you may get depressed or sad when you think about these things. And there is actually no gain in doing such things... aren't you already in that relationship? In fact, I think the past helps shape the person that we are today. Each failed relationship that we've been in helps us to become the (better) person that we are today, so in way, having exes are something to be thankful about =)

On another note, it's also wise not to compare the current partner with the old exes. No one is perfect, and in addition no two person is exactly alike, so there's also no point in making the comparison =)
