Explore yourself

No matter how understanding your partner is, once you are in a relationship you start moulding yourself according to your partner’s expectations. This is the time when you should be trying out different things and taking up challenges that make you realize who you are and what do you want in life. If your partner does not appreciate you engaging in a certain hobby, you will dissociate with it sooner or later. There will  be times when you will keep  things within yourself and refrain from expressing yourself as you know your partner will not able to relate to your thoughts. When you are single, you do not get restrained by these things. You are free to make your own decisions and the only person you are answerable to is you.
