The real feeling of being in love is unmatched, but often partners become co-dependent and don't know ways to be more independent. Thus, they feel lost in a relationship and eventually lose their partner as well.

But one should genuinely believe the saying- “Don't lose yourself pleasing others(especially in love)”. Thus, feel your importance and if you struggle with self-identity in a relationship, then read this.

Everyone has their own beliefs about love and life. Maybe you and your partner have contradictory ideas, that's okay. You two have the right to stick to your core beliefs and disagree with others. This is also one of the ways to be more independent.

However, when the time is tough, you may have to agree with them just to save your relationship. That to be sometimes when you are wrong. But having your own core beliefs is a way of being an independent woman in a relationship.

“No” Has Power

Many in love, forget the importance of NO. Some always expect YES from their partner (especially girls) without knowing their consent. This kind of expectation kills a self-identity in a relationship. Thus, one feels used and exhausted, trying to make it work. No need to do this, learn to say NO.

You don't have to do things as per your partner for their happiness. Keep a balance and say NO if you don't like doing things they ask. On the other hand, you should also be ready to accept when your partner refuses to do something for you. Ignoring your own needs and focussing only on one creates co-dependency, therefore learn how to be independent in a relationship.

Love Yourself

Self-love is the most important when it comes to a relationship. Respect for who you are even if others hate you for that. Know your self-worth and never let anyone hurt it even if it's your partner that doesn't respect or value you. Loving yourself will make you less dependent on others for being happy.

These seven ways to be more independent will not only let you realize who you are but also nourish your relationship.

So, be yourself in love.
