The only way to have a successful romantic relationship is to let go of your ego.

Forgive the clickbait title.<br><br>I’m 19 years old, and a mess, so take this for what it’s worth. I personally believe that the best way to have a happy successful relationship is to let go of your ego, and when I say the ego I’m talking about the ego slash superego, the part of our brain that makes us feel like we’re separate from one another, the part of our brain that makes us feel like we must be better than others so we have a feeling of worth, the part of our brain that makes us see the world through the eyes of an individual slash selfish being instead of a collective whole, the part of our brain that makes us feel the need to have to be right, to have to be better than our partner, instead of seeing ourselves as equals with our partner, the part of our brain that makes us feel like we are the victim when our partner wrongs us, the part of our brain that makes us feel like we are the perpetrator when we wrong our partner. <br><br>In the end, when we let go of our ego, we see ourselves as one with our partner, and with every living thing, no matter how different we are from them. We become so much more humble, we become willing to mess up, willing to make mistakes, and because of this we are willing to grow and evolve with our partner, instead of being so stubborn and thinking we are already fully evolved and don’t need to grow, and because of this, we see the world in a totally different perspective, and we are way more empathetic towards our partner, and we are willing to listen to our partner without feeling the need to attack when our partner tries to criticize us, because when we let go of our ego, we no longer feel like we need to attack when our partner tries to criticize us, because we aren’t attached to being right. <br><br>We are more willing to listen to our partner, and more willing to see our flaws, and because of this, we are more willing to improve, instead of thinking that we are already fully evolved, and because of this, we no longer are afraid to let our partner know what we truly want, because when we let go of our ego, we are more vulnerable, and more willing to be more open with our partner, and more willing to let go of toxic pride, and because of this, we are willing to grow and evolve with our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to see eye to eye with our partner, and more willing to see the world through our partners eyes, rather than seeing the world through our own eyes.<br><br>And because of this, we are no longer afraid to communicate with our partner, because we are no longer afraid of being vulnerable and open with our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to give to our partner what they want, and because of this, we are more willing to be selfless, when we let go of our ego, we no longer feel like we are separate from our partner, and because of this, we see ourselves as one with our partner, and because of this, we are willing to make sacrifices for our partner, and because of this, we are more empathetic towards our partner, instead of seeing our partner as a separate entity from ourselves, we see our partner as a mirror reflection of ourselves, and because of this, we no longer see our partner as a opponent, but rather as our best friend, and because of this, we see eye to eye with our partner, and instead of seeing our relationship as a game, we see our relationship as a journey towards spiritual growth, and instead of seeing the need to defeat our partner, we see the need to help our partner, and because of this, we are willing to be more vulnerable, and because of this, we are willing to be more open with our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to let go of toxic pride, and because of this, we are more willing to mess up, and because of this, we are more willing to forgive ourselves and our partner for mistakes we have made, and because of this, we are more willing to improve ourselves, and because of this, we are more willing to grow, and because of this, we are more willing to be selfless. <br><br>And because of this, we are more willing to make sacrifices for our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to take responsibility for our actions, and because of this, we are more willing to see our flaws, and because of this, we are more willing to make time for our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to communicate with our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to see eye to eye with our partner, and because of this, we are more willing to be patient with our partner, and more willing to see our relationship as a journey, and because of this, we are more willing to grow and
