I sometimes think about how other people have less happy relationships than mine, and that makes me sad for them

Another little relationship hack I learned is to apologize for every little thing sincerely and with follow-through. This serves two purposes:

  1. When you actually fuck up and really need to apologize, it will be easier to fall on your knees and beg forgiveness
  2. Each time you apologize and follow through on your apology, you are embedding in their mind that you are a trustworthy person who takes responsibility for your mistakes.
