4 Steps to Making an Open Relationship Work

1. "You're crazy."

As soon as you tell your partner that they're "crazy" during a fight, you're suggesting that you don't trust their judgment or reasoning. Moreover, you're implying that their emotions are irrelevant and they don't have a right to feel the way they do.

Rather than jumping to this damaging statement, take a step back and try to truly listen to what they're upset about.

2. "I don't care."

On a similar note, telling your partner that you "don't care" when they're attempting to share their concerns is a recipe for disaster.

You're immediately shutting down any opportunity to resolve the issue at hand together and, again, invalidating your partner's feelings. Couples are supposed to care and support each other, especially during tough times, so saying "I don't care" is a cop-out that won't solve your argument any sooner.

3. "You always..." or "You never..."

"Always" and "never" are absolute phrases, meaning the behavior referred to actually has to occur every single time. If there's one thing that's true about humans, though, it's that we don't tend to do anything 100% the same way in literally every scenario.

These absolute phrases are typically used during fights to call attention to habit patterns. But while they may feel appropriate in your mind, it can feel like an attack on your partner.

Moreover, saying they "always" or "never" do something will only add fuel to the fire if it's not entirely true.

4. "Why can't you be more like..."

We all have a relative or friend who seems to have a picture-perfect relationship. So, in times of irritation, it can be tempting to ask why your partner can't be more like your best friend's boyfriend, for instance, or your brother's girlfriend.

Just remember that comparison is the thief of joy, and in relationships, it can plant seeds of doubt about your love in your partner's mind. We are supposed to care for our significant others unconditionally, but by comparing them to someone else, you're implying that they aren't enough for you.

5. "You'd do it if you loved me."

There's nothing more immature or damaging than trying to emotionally blackmail your partner into doing something you want.

It's manipulative, pressuring, and shows that you don't respect your partner's boundaries. It can also create an imbalance of power and cause your significant other to feel taken advantage of.

6. "You've changed."

Evolution is how humans survive, so it is natural for people to change in relationships, whether they be romantic or platonic.

When partnerships grow from short to long-term, different life events are bound to happen, too. Being presented with struggles or trauma and how we cope with those challenges can change a person.

So, accusing your partner of "changing" with a negative connotation is unhealthy. It suggests that things are supposed to stay stagnant, never transforming, which isn't realistic and will probably just be perceived as judgmental.

7. "My ex would never do that."

Just like how you shouldn't compare your significant other to people in other happy relationships, you should never compare them to your exes, either.

First, this will definitely escalate the argument, making your partner feel angry and insecure. On top of that, they may begin to question your love and trust, wondering if you'd rather be with your ex than them.

8. "This was a mistake."

It's never smart to make choices when tensions are high. That's why you should avoid making snap decisions about your relationship in the middle of arguments.

Once you utter the words "this was a mistake," it signals that you don't believe in your relationship at all. Whether you mean it or not, this statement can be extremely hard to come back from once things settle down and you want to make amends.

9. "I don't find you attractive anymore."

Saying "I don't find you attractive anymore" can be intended in two different ways. Perhaps you're trying to hurt your partner's feelings in regard to their appearance, or you mean their behavior is making them unattractive in your eyes.

Either way, bringing aesthetic opinions into play during an argument isn't productive. Instead of focusing on the actual issue at hand, you're just upsetting your partner more and introducing another thing to fight about.

10. "Your parents are the reason why..."

Maybe you're in a relationship with someone who dealt with childhood trauma. Or their parents might not approve of their partnership.

It's undeniable that both of these scenarios can make nurturing a romantic relationship more difficult. So why use your shared grievance as ammunition against your partner?

By involving their family in your argument, you're creating a divide between you and your partner rather than trying to tackle whatever problem you're facing as a united front.

11. Saying Nothing

Along with all of these statements, saying nothing to your partner during an argument is just as harmful. Stonewalling them or giving them the cold shoulder isn't going to solve anything, and it makes you seem uncompassionate and immature.

Think about it: how would you feel if you were trying to express your feelings, and the person on the receiving end walked away or went on their phone, ignored eye contact, and said nothing in response? Would that diffuse the situation or make you feel heard? Probably not.

12. "Divorce."

Last but not least, you shouldn't ever call for divorce in the midst of a fight. After tying the knot with someone and making vows to stick by their side through thick and thin, asking for a divorce is serious.

Separation threats shouldn't be tossed around casually, and even if you don't truly mean it, merely uttering the word can lead your partner to doubt and second-guess your relationship.

1. Physical Affection Is Nonexistent

Practically everyone can think back to a time when they were in a brand-new relationship, and the "honeymoon phase" seemed to be filled with never-ending hand-holding and kissing. Those of us in long-term relationships know that this behavior tends to fade over time.

However, there should still be a balance, and no physical affection at all could signal something is wrong beneath the surface. Before jumping to a conclusion, talk to your partner and determine if something exterior is making them not want to be affectionate. Or, if you've noticed a consistent pattern, have an honest conversation to express your needs.

2. Communication Is Limited

Aside from remaining physically connected, talking to one another is how relationships survive. Without this glue, it's easy for partnerships to fall apart.

We'd like to call attention to a common misconception, though. More specifically, the quantity of conversation is not as important as the quality. For instance, if your partner suddenly isn't texting back immediately or engaging in super long conversations over dinner, it's not an immediate cause for concern.

Again, it's natural for previously endless conversations to shorten as relationships become more long-term. Rather, quality is what you should assess. If you feel as though your talks with your partner have become surface-level or like you can't truly express your feelings anymore, that's an indicator you may be drifting.

3. You're Stuck In The Blame Game

It's completely normal to have disagreements with your partner or just get frustrated by some of their usual habits. However, when you try to communicate your feelings, do either of you ever jump to criticize or throw blame?

When someone is tired or under stress, an occasional outburst like that may be understandable. But repeatedly criticizing or blaming your partner for issues that you should be tackling together is a recipe for disaster.

Not only will the person being criticized or blamed get their feelings hurt, but it will also reduce trust and lead to perceived disrespect. All of this can make you and your partner feel as if you're growing apart.

4. You No Longer Talk About Future Plans

When you enter a relationship, decision-making becomes a two-person endeavor. It can also be really motivating and thrilling to discuss future plans together, whether that be moving to a new city, starting a business, or growing a family.

Yet, if these conversations randomly come to a halt or seem more like fantasies than realistic, that's a red flag. It can suggest that either you or your partner don't feel like you're on the same page or there's no longer excitement about your future life together.

5. Conflict Avoidance

Relationships take serious work, and problems can't be fixed without effort from both parties. That's mainly why communication is so critical; it keeps things from feeling one-sided and facilitates conflict resolution.

So, if you or your partner actively tries to avoid discussing things that need to be addressed, it could mean you're drifting. Either you are afraid to open up a can of worms, perhaps because you've been blamed or criticized in the past, or you just don't feel like dealing with the problem is worth it.

6. Less Appearance Effort

After being in a relationship for a while, people tend to get comfortable. And that's actually a good thing. It signals that you feel safe, secure, and accepted for who you really are.

Still, there is a line that distinguishes natural comfort from complacency. If you or your partner don't try to look nice on special occasions anymore, it could suggest that you're taking each other for granted.

Of course, lounging around in athleisure wear at home or wearing no makeup is totally natural and acceptable. But if outfits and hygiene for date nights, anniversaries, birthdays, or other outings are becoming increasingly disheveled, it's a red flag.

7. You No Longer Participate In Shared Interests

One of the best parts about having a significant other is discovering what interests you both share and participating in them together. Active couples might enjoy hiking, playing pickleball, or golfing, while more creative types may love concerts, visiting museums, and traveling.

Not only are these activities more fun when done with someone you love, but they also allow you to create new memories and spend quality time together. So, if you and your partner previously loved trying new things together, but the frequency has fallen off, it could mean something is wrong.

Your relationship suddenly lacks the closeness you both once felt through your hobbies, and the reduced connection can make you feel separated from your partner.

8. Even When You're Together, You Feel Alone

Finally, those who remain in love for decades generally share similar views of their significant others: their partners are their best friends.

But if you find yourself feeling alone while sitting next to your partner on the couch at the end of each night, that's a problem. Yes, friends and other relatives are important for maintaining separate platonic relationships and your own sense of identity, yet you shouldn't feel like you have to seek out companionship entirely from other people.

Even couples with completely different backgrounds, jobs, and interests can still manage to operate as a caring and united entity. So, unfortunately, feeling alone while spending time with your partner may be a sign that you've lost a sense of connection and have drifted apart.

March 2025 will be powerful and involve lessons in love and communication, yet it is also promising that people will begin living more intentionally. We start with Venus retrograde on March 1. These next several weeks will have us reexamine our love connections while also taking a closer look at our confidence levels. You can be delulu when involving love, as Venus retrograde can rope in insecurity in established relationships. Set realistic expectations and observe how you have lived your love story so far. Refine and redirect once Venus goes forward in motion on April 12. Although it isn’t favorable to start dating, reflecting on your self-worth and what beauty means for you is more impactful.

To support this phase, consider a self-worth ritual using rose quartz. Hold the crystal while reciting affirmations in the mirror, reminding yourself of your inherent value. This is also a time for energy healing — Reiki or guided meditations can help restore emotional balance. However, avoid major cosmetic procedures or hair transformations, or the results may backfire. Also, be mindful of making big purchases such as booking a venue or wedding dress shopping. Trust me, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Conversations will begin to energize as Mercury enters Aries on March 3, spiraling in quick new ideas and more grit involving plans. Tempers could flare, and patience levels may run thin, as Aries wants nothing more than to get things started. It is a good time to initiate discussions or plant ideas but not a great time to negotiate. Expect more gridlock in communication as Mercury retrograde (yes, again) begins on March 15. This is a period for you to take the backseat and reevaluate your past thoughts involving leadership, authority, and how you intentionally live your life.

Journaling can be a powerful tool during this Mercury retrograde. Consider prompts like: “What leadership qualities do I admire, and how do I embody them?” or “How have I been communicating my needs, and where can I improve?” This retrograde can lead to a range of impulsive decisions or misunderstandings, so grounding yourself with mindful breathing exercises can bring clarity.

Eclipse season begins on March 14, and it kicks off with the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This eclipse marks the end of a chapter involving our habits and the beginning of a period of becoming more aligned with our well-being. It is a period to remove yourself from toxic situations and clear out the mind, body, and spirit. Your body knows what it needs.

Engage in a cleansing ritual to align with this lunar eclipse — salt baths, decluttering your space, or walking barefoot on grass can help ground you. This lunation will reveal what is weighing you down and help you make peace with the idea of letting go.

Then, Aries season begins on March 20, and in the middle of eclipse season, we will have to be mindful of burnout and more self-aware about how we can best utilize our energy. Aries desires movement, but with the eclipses happening, this is not an ideal time for spontaneous plans. Rest and observe your inner fire. Nurture it by granting yourself patience. Venus then shifts back into Pisces on March 27, immersing us in the need for more beauty and pleasure. Although this month may be sluggish involving plans, Venus in Pisces will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Set aside time to engage in creative expression. Painting, visiting an art museum, writing poetry, or immersing yourself in music will infuse your life with magic. These artistic activities will help you channel Venus in Pisces' dreamy energy and bring a sense of peace amid the cosmic chaos.

Then, the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 will begin a new era involving ambition and optimism in our journeys. As land-locked as you may feel this month, this solar eclipse will power up your hope and energize you to keep going. Any new ideas that come through are worth noting. In these next six months, expect momentum and continuous motivation.

To harness the power of this eclipse, try a candle meditation. Light a red or gold candle and focus on the flame, visualizing your goals manifesting over time. This will help you align with the upcoming wave of ambition without rushing into impulsive decisions.

March 30 concludes with a historical moment — Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861. It portends an era that will result in a powerful fusion of a spiritual movement and assertiveness. Humanity will thrive more on transparency and a direct focus on making things happen. Everything left unseen and left to the mystery will be revealed. The truth is key to making things happen.

This transit calls for bold spiritual practices. Breathwork, fire rituals, or working with red jasper can amplify your confidence and strengthen your spiritual vision. This is a time to trust your inner wisdom and take steps toward turning dreams into reality.

March is a month of deep shifts and preparation. Take it slow, listen to your intuition, and allow cosmic timing to unfold. The magic is already in motion — believe in it.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Hello, Aries! Expect March to be game-changing as several transits illuminate your first house of self and identity. Deep reflection, personal transformation, and energetic renewal are in store for you, but you must flex your ability to remain patient as retrograde and eclipses redirects your focus. Let's dive into your forecast:

March 1 – Venus Retrograde What do you see when you look into the mirror, Aries? Venus retrograde begins in your sign before retreating into your 12th house next month, and the love planet urges you to reflect on your self-worth, beauty, and past relationships. Nostalgia may pull your heartstrings, and hidden emotions resurface. Focus on self-care and healing rather than seeking external validation.

Expect the wheels to turn as your mind sharpens with Mercury entering your sign on March 3. If you felt hazy these last several weeks, this is your chance to find clarity in your ideas and the gumption to push through with your ambitions. Be mindful if your patience wears thin--your words may carry more weight than intended.

The Lunar Eclipse on March 14 signals a time for you to take care of your body. Recalibrate your mind, body, and spirit these next six months as a major shift in your daily habits and work-life balance arrives with the lunar eclipse in your 6th house. This eclipse will force you to slow down if you've been overworking. Pay close attention to your health and eliminate toxic routines that drain your energy.

Mercury retrograde begins on March 15. It is crucial to reflect on and review your current frame of mind and articulation. With the messenger planet in your sign, it is necessary to rethink your approach to self-expression. This is a period of introspection — avoid launching new projects and refine your vision this month. Miscommunications are likely, so choose your words wisely.

On March 20, your season begins with the Sun entering your sign. Although many shifts are happening, the Sun recharges your energy and confidence, bringing a renewed sense of purpose. This is your cosmic reset button — use it to set intentions for the year ahead.

Here is another cosmic boost for you: the solar eclipse will happen in your sign for the last time until 18 years from now (you made it!) on March 29. This powerful lunation signals a fresh start in your identity and personal goals. You're stepping into a new version of yourself—bold, ambitious, and ready to take charge. Be mindful of impulsive decisions as your glow-up will unfold over the next six months.

A rare and profound shift begins as Neptune moves into your sign on March 30, launching a long-term spiritual awakening and self-discovery journey. Your dreams and intuition will take center stage — trust the visions that arise. Take your time to review your path. The Universe is rooting for you to succeed!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

It is time to wind down and explore the inner realms, Taurus. The cosmos urges you to reflect and assess your emotional and spiritual well-being. With major activity happening in your 12th house, this is a time of release, healing, and reconnecting with your inner truth.

On March 1, observe your internal landscape as Venus retrograde unveils, inspires you to go through inner work, and prompts you to beautify your soul. When it progresses into your 11th house later this month, Venus will prompt you to pay attention to your friendships, support systems, and personal dreams. You may re-evaluate certain relationships, realizing who truly stands by your side. If past friendships resurface, reflect on whether they align with your growth. Avoid making impulsive social commitments, as clarity will come after April 12 when Venus moves forward again.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, sharpening your intuition and bringing subconscious thoughts to the surface. Dreams may be more vivid, and hidden messages could reveal themselves. However, by March 15, Mercury retrograde begins, urging you to slow down. Miscommunications may arise, and you’ll benefit from journaling or meditation to sort through your thoughts rather than making big decisions.

The March 14 Lunar Eclipse in your 5th house illuminates themes of creativity, passion, and personal joy. If you’ve felt blocked in expressing yourself, this lunation encourages you to release your fears. It’s also a powerful time to close a chapter in love—especially if a connection has been draining rather than inspiring.

With the Sun entering Aries on March 20 and a Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 12th house is once again activated. This signals a rebirth in your spiritual journey. Pay attention to intuitive nudges, and allow yourself time to rest before stepping into a new cycle of self-discovery.

Changes are brewing beginning on March 30 as Neptune enters Aries and this long-term transit calls for deep spiritual awakening. You’re being guided to trust divine timing and surrender what no longer serves you. Engage in breathwork, energy healing, or time in solitude to align with this cosmic reset.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

This signals a new beginning in your social world—perhaps a fresh vision for the future, a new social circle, or an exciting collaboration. Still, take it slow and allow things to unfold organically.

On March 30, Neptune enters Aries and influences your long-term dreams and ideals! You may feel drawn to humanitarian efforts or creative projects that inspire collective change.

To restore your well-being, allow the people-pleasing to take the backseat.

Hold off on major relationship decisions until Venus Direct occurs on April 12.

On March 3, the messenger planet Mercury enters Aries, bringing spicy interactions and a direct approach to your relationships.

When the Sun enters Aries on March 20, followed by the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 6th house is firing up. A fresh start begins at work, and health or daily routines are on the horizon. However, with Mercury still retrograde, allow time for adjustments before fully committing to new routines.

Treat your body like a temple. On March 30, Neptune enters Aries and alters your perspective on health and service.

Your children will be the primary focus, and the love planet will show how you genuinely connect with them. It is also a period for inner child work or revisiting old projects. Later this month, Venus will move into your 4th house, encouraging you to beautify the home and hold off from scheduling renovations. Declutter your home and reorganize your living space.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, energizing your creative thinking and desire for fun. New projects and initiating romance may be tempting, but when Mercury turns retrograde on March 15, expect delays, miscommunications, or the need to reassess artistic endeavors or romantic expectations. Be patient with the process.

Your paradigm shifts on March 30, as Neptune enters Aries. It propels you to become the artist of your life while also seeing love through a new lens.
