You can settle on plenty of things in life: Where to have dinner for your mom’s birthday, for instance, or booking the less expensive, but just as nice resort for your next vacation.

One thing you should never settle on? Your relationships. Below, marriage experts share seven qualities you should never accept in a relationship.

1. A partner who won’t give the relationship 100 percent.

Fall in love with someone who’s keenly interested in keeping your relationship happy, healthy and fresh, not someone who tends to tune out and let you do the heavy lifting, said Carin Goldstein, a marriage and family therapist in Sherman Oaks, California.

“The worse thing is being in a relationship where your partner is unable to self reflect,” she said. “They need to recognize how their actions affect the relationship.”

2. A partner who can’t say “I was wrong.”

It’s vital that you’re with someone who can admit her mistakes, said Gal Szekely, the founder of the Couples Center for therapy in Northern California.

“You don’t want to be with a partner who gets defensive or tends to shift blame,” he said. “When we are not open to taking responsibility, we are not open to learning and change. And if we can’t change and grow, we won’t be able to adapt to the changing circumstances of our lives and the changing needs of our partners.”

3. A partner who doesn’t share your sense of humor.

Life is bound to throw you a few unexpected punches. To lessen the blow, it’s important that you and your partner have a similar sense of humor, said Amy Begel, a marriage and family therapist based in New York City.

“You’ll need that to face the ups and downs of life and relationships,” she said. “Occasionally, I see couples in my office where one partner takes things too seriously. If you can’t tease each other during the rough-and-tumble moments in life, it doesn’t bond well for your relationship.”

This NNPC Retail Post Raised More Questions Than It Answered

So I was scrolling earlier and stopped on this NNPC Retail flyer because it’s literally just a big question mark and a line that says “66 Reasons Why You Need To Watch This Space.” Nothing else. No context, no explanation, just vibes and mystery.

It also speaks to our Naija slang and banter (the “Omo,” “Gbas Gbos,” and “Sapa” ones had me laughing).

It’s part of their ongoing “66 Reasons Why We Love Naija” series, so it seems to be leading up to something for October 1st. What they are clear about is that you need the NNPC Fuel App to be in the loop. They describe it as fast, secure, reliable, and rewarding, and they’ve made it easy with a QR code you can scan straight from the post.

If they’re trying to build hype, it’s working on me. SCAN THE BAR CODE HERE.
