Imagine this. Your partner, although the apple of your eye, may have a few controversial opinions. Of course, that doesn’t rub the people around the right way. Especially your friends. Hence, you often find yourself defending your partner, even if you don’t agree with him. Here’s the problem with this – you secretly hiding your discomfort about your partner’s opinion only to gain your friend’s approval mean two things – either you value your partner’s opinion way more than you should or you know they may be right. So if your gut tells you that your relationship is going downhill, you may be onto something. Listen to it.
