Edit Steps
- 1Figure out your attachment style. Everyone attaches themselves to others in different ways. Generally there are three types of attachment styles, Secure: you are happy and comfortable with expressing feelings and being dependent on each other, Avoidant: you like to keep people at arms length and Anxious: you need constant reassurance about the status of your relationship. You and your partner need to have the same attachment styles - if not it will result in misunderstandings and conflict.
Figure out your attachment style. - 2What do you want from your life? You have to decide what things in life take top priority: Kids, career, lifestyle choices. If you want kids, and your partner doesn't - DO NOT DEPEND ON THEM CHANGING THEIR MIND. They won't, and if you keep pressuring them they will resent you. Make sure you and your partner are on the same page in terms of where your lives are going and what you are going to accomplish together.
