If you're like most people, then the mere thought of bringing up a tough subject in a relationship probably makes you cringe so hard that your face cramps up.
And with good reason!
Whether you're just starting to fall for someone or your relationship is older than some Millennials, the last thing you want to do is initiate a conversation that could cause awkwardness and conflict with the person you love (or are on your way to loving).
Here's the truth, though: Regardless of whether you feel like discussing challenging topics, sometimes you have no choice in the matter. If you want to have a healthy, honest relationship that has the potential for real longevity, then those potentially awkward discussions are a non-negotiable.
Avoiding difficult subjects won't lead to anything but anxiety and wasted time, and when we're talking about love and life, who has time for that?
Not us — and certainly not you.
Here are five topics that all couples should be comfortable talking about — even though many aren't.
1. Past relationships
2. Spending habits
3. Career goals
4. Plans for kids (or lack thereof)
5. Financial health
