Why relationships don't work nowadays? You know why relationships used to work and they don't now? 25 years ago, we weren't texting our exes at 2 a.m. We weren't sending suggestive selfies to friends of the opposite sex. We weren't chatting with dozens of people on our phones instead of spending quality time with our partner. We didn't have a "backup option" lined up the moment something didn't go exactly the way we wanted. We worked through problems and communicated with our partners instead of airing out issues on social media for everyone to comment on. If you want a healthy relationship, stop making your partner feel like they're competing for your attention or love.
