Depending on mind-perusing to get your necessities satisfied makes sentiments of perpetual outrage and scorn towards your accomplice, conditions which will constantly prompt the downfall of your relationship. To keep your relationship solid and upbeat, it's dependent upon you to make your necessities obviously known.
You have a privilege to request the things you require in a relationship. Actually, you have a duty to yourself and your accomplice to be clear about your needs. You are simply the master. Nobody else, not even your accomplice, can read your psyche and realize what you require in the method for help, hint contact, time alone, household arrange, autonomy, sex, love, money related security, e.t.c

@tifaong sure is quite a writer. She's said it all in her post. If I may contribute in my own humble way...
That common statement above has seen an end to sweet relationships. Humans are tricky in nature and go to the extreme of abusing every opportunity that comes there way. Just because someone agrees with everything you say, support you and trust your words doesn't mean you shouldn't consider her thoughts before making decisions. How about I share my own experience towards this...
Everyone around me knew Temmytweety as my better half. I came to know her through my bestie, Mike, a course mate of mine in Lagos Polytechnic who happened to be her friend back in high school. She was totally sweet and held me in high regards. She would call me at nights and we would talk for more than an hour. It was unbelievable. She was totally into me. She told me how her ex left her and impregnated her friend (just imagine that) all because she didn't give him total attention. So she was making sure not give room for such mistake again. I in the other hand saw this as an opportunity and just behaved like she's my slave. I commanded her around and acted like a master. It got to a point where she's always afraid to tell me whatever she's passing through and I actually didn't give a crap. I really hurt her in many ways than I can remember. There came a time my bestie talked some sense into me and made me realise how bad I've been to her by seizing her freedom and acting like I'm a God just because she cared. It was too late for me as she's been seeing someone else who was rather sweet to her, heard her speak, respected her and didn't act like a master but instead humbled himself towards her.
I lost this babe to him and ever since then I've never met someone that'd treat me how she did: call me at night, care for me wholeheartedly and much more. The other time we met, I cried. i couldn't believe what she's become and it's just so uncontrollable. THAT'S HOW I LOST N ANGEL THAT I WON'T SEE SOMEONE LIKE HER AGAIN.
It's late but I've learnt my lessons. Your better half deserves as much respect as he/she gives you. She needs to feel safe when she's with you and have total freedom. When you need something from her, ask and don't just command her. They say you don't value what you have until you loose it.
I just hope my truelife story has impact on some lives. Life is phenomena.
And good job @teekingtv

I've never been into any relationship before, but I know some things right about relationship. Nigerians would say' "respect is reciprocal." Everyone deserves a measure of respect. In relationship, no one is meant to be this slave neither is anyone the master.
I've seen some families where the two partners quarrel but settles it without any third party intervention. Relationship becomes very interesting when the two parties respect each other's opinion.
The man/husband should not feel more important because he's taking most responsibility in the relationship/family, the lady/wife should not also feel better than her partner. Everything has to be reciprocated.
It is normal for two lovers to offend each other, but it is best for them to settle in love. "Soft word turns away anger, and bitterness." If love is the foundation of any relationship, there would be no reason for either party to be afraid. There is no fear in love, love is not harsh but love is calm. Sounding harsh makes your spouse feel inferior.
There is no superior, neither is there an inferior in relationship. Both lovers are equal. Don't sound rude to your partner. When your partner offends you, Use soft words to make peace. I believe this will help you build a good relationship.

Well i believe most relationships are not often perfect, they are always full of ups and downs..but it is left for the two heads involved to bring out the perfect side in it, and this can be achieved if some things are present in the relationship...they are
In any relationship where true love is foundation of it, the man/woman tends to live happily together and forever...there will be good communication, trust, perseverance, and understanding among the two.. There would not be any cause for fights or argument because they so much trust and understands each other..no reason for insecurity.. When all these things are put in place, then love is expressed with request and not demand...request involves mutual understanding/agreement while demand has to do with force/hatred or i dont care manner.......
Well to crown this up, i think a perfect relationship is what i pray for...
May God bless us all with a perfect partner and a perfect relationship...AMEN

Every beautiful relationship is built on the foundation of respect. Respect is not just one of the bed rock of a good relationship but a means of sustainability. You don't just echo the word respect, you live daily by it. Show me a wonderful relationship and I'll show you two partners with respect for each other.
Respect in a relationship makes you request and not demand. Demands are clearly a way to exert your authoritative and uncaring attitude; even the wealthiest of humans hate demands. A Request is just simply a coating of humility and respect for one another.
I had an experience with a lady I dated some time ago; she was simply amazing in attitude. Very beautiful, with natural endowments any man can kill for, quite intelligent and good cook.
But Joy had a very bad attitude that diminished my love towards her. I understand that a relationship should be supportive and accommodating, but I couldn't carry along with her constant unending demand.
She would always demand for call credit and money to make her hair and all that, without knowing if you have them at that moment or not. At first, I did not see any need to be worried, but the manner to which she normally would put it started making me sick. She would be like
To me, I feel a lady should politely ask the partner for some money to do all these, without sounding as if they kept money for you somewhere or as if it is there birthright. I was putting up with all these demands, until they became too much. When I stopped giving in to the demands, she started acting strange and indifferent. It now became clear to me that she was in the relationship for her demands and needs, and not for love. Maybe I would have been giving in, had it been she said them in form of a requests and not a demand. I respect ladies who make requests and not demands. I know them with their politeness to such requests and not indifferent nature associated with demands.

Congratulations Donnest! Winner of challenge #19.
One thing I always put into attention in a relationship is trust. what is this trust really all about, to my own perspective, trust is the greatest bond that links the couples to everlasting relationship.
What is the essence of being in a relationship either the husband or the wife could not defend themselves from shitting, or tell your partner this is your next plans and couldn't believe. It's very transparent that such a relationship is just like a building, built on the river side without a solid foundation it can never last Long.
Then how do you make your partner to trust you? It's a simple way to follow and it's optional, only if you are willing to.
These are the things you must do to make a partner gain a trust from you.
.....show your partner your flaws.
.....you have to dig into your partners emotion and understand him/she better.
..... Tell your partner how you really feel
..... Never judge your partners whenever they made their fault transparent to you.
..... And always have a great moments to be together
So many kinds of this things To make you gain trust from your partners, but I believe trust is the most essential thing couples need to build a strong relationship.
Goodluck

I'd like to express my heartfelt appreciation to kind @danielsaori for chosen my post (out of so many high quality posts out there) in his comment challenge. I felt such an honor to be in this situation.
To all participants, thank you very much for taking your time to read. I hope what I've wrote will be able to help you in some ways, at some point in your life.
I wish you all the best in this contest!
Thank you @danielsaori!
I'm very happy that you were chosen too @tifaong... You always do great work and I love everything I've seen from you :) ... Keep it up and here's your newbie nickel too! ;)
Oh my! Thank you very much @davemccoy!! I really appreciate what you've done for me!
Thank you for always helping me!
You are welcome Tifa! I think you are a really amazing person who has a wonderful out look on love and life! Its my honor to help you :)
Most of my insights are inspired by books, so not all ideas come from myself :)
But I'll accept your words as encouragement and motivation.
It is my honor to be part of awesome #newbieresteemday initiative!
well the interesting thing is that you may be inspired by those books, but you have synthesized them into who you are. And that is what is impressive at your very young age! I'm impressed!
ps... tell you boyfriend @williamsyee to make sure he contacts me because he won a membership in @steembasicincome (just for being a #newbieresteemday member) but he has to contact me so he can send in the prize.
@davemccoy, I contacted you in discord few hours ago :)
ok cool... I haven't got that far yet ;)
I will go check it right now!
Thank you very much for your kind words @davemccoy. :)
I think I'm good at sharing theories or ideas, and relating them into our daily lives so that we'll feel more relevant and understand better.
When talking love, I will only be able to smile. I'm not an expert, nor a playboy. but in a way I'm an observer like you too. our lives are supplied with much love, a mother's love, her love of a father to her child. and the most complicated is the love of a couple.
very much I see the case of how the complexity of their love. even more complicated than the love story of the movie "Titanic". you must believe! it could be you are also one who has a complicated story.
getting a woman is easy! but making him comfortable is that difficult, all can not be separated from how much he requests during the love story begins. and for most men, it's all a burden, it's all a demand that makes them think, why is he like that? when the question arises in the minds of men, that's when the complexity begins. so we often see a love story that is only sweet and peaceful during the first month or year. but after that the World War began.
for women, their demand is realistic and reasonable. they just ask for a little attention, little material and anything else. they are not wrong!
Men are simple, usually they will be able to meet material-related requests, but requests related to the time, it is very difficult. let alone the busy man in his world. they are not wrong either.
what is wrong is the ego. if they can control, understand each other, then a great bond will be established, and absolute happiness becomes their right.
So, Control your ego and your partner!
That's my entry for this contest, I never failed to participate due to incorrectly posted comments, but your 100% upvote is very much in my heart . Thank you @danielsaori for presenting this great contest
thank you for @tifaong for choosing this theme, a theme that often becomes an obstacle in the love story

It is one of the lines my husband always say. The way we talk is an act of love and respect. Demand is like saying I'm sorry, you leave the other party no option. You are right about that.
How about using "Would you" instead of "Can you"?
My husband and I use "Would you..." when requesting because we understand that we can do something it's the matter of "if you're willing to do it".
The only time I get on demand mode is when he tickles me. STOP IT, I say. And I realize my mistake because now him and the children tickle me haha.
Confirmed!
Great work showing the different nuance between ‘would you’ and ‘can you’.
And I love your ending. Being tickled might not be the easiest moment to ask them nicely to stop. 😀
Thank you. Yes, there's a difference between the two. Bottom line is "you have not because you ask not". But if you ask the right way, it's almost impossible to be refused.
@lovenfreedom...you've got my vote for this one! Nice answer. And yes, you're "mistake"..very cute :)
Thanks @lynncoyle1. It is terrible "mistake" hahaha. Demand and respect doesn't do squat when it's tickle time.
hahaha that's so sweet...and awful :)
voted
Thank you so much....love getting the nickle :)
Thanks @davemccoy.
Although, I have a question, what's this newbie nickel? Is there a post explaining it?
Hey @lovenfreedom, thanks for asking! Its the $0.05 update on your post. I normally just give them out to the newbies (reputation score under 45) but since @danielsaori selected me with a 100 SP delegation last week I have extended to everyone in his game!
So its just an upvote of $0.05, but to a newbie it means a lot because sometimes they don't even make that on their posts.
And there's not just one post, its been an evolution. When I first got my delegations I was able to provide a meaningful vote to newbies at the time of $0.05... So they seemed to like it and it eventually got named by @doctorcrypto the "newbie nickel"
Oh wow! Now that I understand it, a much heartfelt Thank you again!
It means a lot to a newbie. I can remember when I was upvote happy when I started and I didn't make a post value go up (since it starts out 0.005 and the values are only showing 2 decimal places).
@danielsaori Thank you as well!!
You are welcome @lovenfreedom! And btw, I love your tagline about being trapped in the matrix :)
PLEASE, give me a foot rub. My dogs are barking! :)
hahaha @themanwithname, very funny :) And to think I left a serious comment here...what was I thinking? :)
It hasn't worked out for me yet. I've lost every one of these I've entered. Probably won't this time either by the number of votes I've gotten. That's ok though. I'm glad that people are getting encouraged by the people who write heartfelt stuff. I gotta do the sarcastic stuff sometimes. Otherwise it just builds inside and comes out in an avalanche. Those are dark days! :)
With an epic comment like that, it's hard to understand why you aren't winning :)
I imagine your "avalanche" as a Tourette's outburst at a funeral
Confirmed!
Sounds like something you can say every day. 😉
If it worked, I might! :D
Maybe you need to change it to "Would you please, give me a foot rub." following @lovenfreedom advice above. :)
Or take it even further... "Would you please, give me a foot rub! You give the best foot rubs!"
That's a good idea. You normally get further with honey than vinegar.
Congrats TheMan! 2nd Prize is yours. Thanks for the laugh. :)
You're welcome!
