5. The money talk!

You and your partner could have completely different lifestyles. You should be open about it. Just because one of you might like to spend more than the other, doesn’t mean the other should feel pressurised about doing the same. Each one of us has different priorities and wants to save or spend in different ways. Understanding that and being able to acknowledge and appreciate each other’s differences in lifestyles is important! Especially if you intend to share a bank account anytime in the future.

6. The talk about “boundaries”

With an ex, with a friend from the opposite sex or even your friends! There is no point sitting and sulking about the way he spoke or acted with another person. If there are some boundaries you need him to have or he needs you to have, there is no better way to figure that out than to talk about it! Letting the other know what bothers you will save you many a fight in the future.

7. The sex talk

Sex is often an important part of a relationship. So it goes without saying that it’s important to establish what you and your partner are and are not okay with in this sphere. Whether or not you’re ready, or the different things you are or are not open to trying – it is definitely better to have this talk rather than feel uncomfortable when you’re actually in the situation!
