About You
Potential Challenges to Your Relationship

As solid as we’d like to think our relationships are, there are some factors these days that you need to watch out for.

We’re not saying you should become totally paranoid, but it is important to take a bit of time out to think about the potential fire starters that you and your man could encounter… 

Facebook
Pretty much everyone has some kind of social networking page – whether it’s Facebook, Bebo or Twitter. The problem is, if your partner has total access to your page, they can also see who’s posting comments and saying what – danger bells! A mere comment from an ex can see all hell break loose, and things can get even worse if you and your partner share passwords.
 
An nzgirl staffer was duped when she started Facebook chatting with who she thought was her friend, asking about how her night was and if she jokingly ‘pashed anyone’, only to discover that it was really her friend’s crazy ex signed in as her!

Solution: Think carefully about what you put out about yourself on the internet, take security measures and don’t go noseying where you shouldn’t!
 
Cellphones
Ah the cellphone…it’s like carrying your life in a little machine! It makes you contactable 24/7 – no matter how far apart you are from each other. This is an awesome thing, but it can also be a serious troublemaker. For example, it can help you get sick of one and other quicker – ever started innocently texting, when all of a sudden someone takes something the wrong way? Or what about drunken dialing? And there’s the whole reading each other’s texts and finding something you weren't meant to...

Solution: A little time apart is a good thing, both physically and via texting/calling! And again, don’t go poking your nose where you shouldn’t!
 
Your career
Our grandmother's may have been total domestic goddesses, but most of us are more interested in our careers. You might encounter problems with your boy if you’re the kind of girl who wants a kick ass career whether she has a man or not. Some boys just can’t handle the fact that you may want to put your career first, or maybe they’re not comfortable with a woman who is paid higher or simply more ambitious than themselves.

Solution:
Make sure you and your man are clear on what you both want.
 
You’ve moved in together…too quickly
More and more couples are rushing to move in with each other; whether it’s an attempt to take things to the next step or a rush of infatuation, sometimes if you take things too quickly it won’t do you any favours. He might look clean and tidy, but it doesn’t mean that’s how he likes to live!

Solution: Make sure you know each other well before you move in, otherwise things could go totally wrong and not only will your relationship be over, but you could be homeless!
