Ahh, nagging...It's not just about dirty socks on the floor. It's worse than that. The back-and-forth is often a power struggle in disguise. The more she nags, the more he digs in. It's annoying and the constant nagging slowly wears down your relationship until you can't see eye-to-eye anymore.

Taking Timeouts: Playing Hooky

Having your own space to hang out with friends is great. Here's the plot twist: too much time away can bring trouble, not love. Being apart too much might not be the way to go for a stronger bond. It's about finding that spot where absence doesn't make hearts wander.

Booty Bargaining: The Love Dangle

The classic love-laced bargaining chip. Using intimacy as a way to get what you want, probably isn't the best route to take. If you find yourself holding back or promising favors for certain deeds, it might mean that something is amiss. Don't let your connection take a hit by turning it into quid pro quo.
