Keeping score is bad for a relationship
Scorecards are an ominous thing in relationships. If you’re keeping track of every mistake, slip-up or flaw of your partner and bringing it up in fights for sake of one-upmanship – or vice-versa – your relationship may be riddled with serious issues.
This tendency points to two possibilities. Either you resent your partner for who they are or you want to establish dominance by denting their self-esteem. Neither is healthy.
Deal with every issue, every mistake, every fight as a standalone event. Once you’ve resolved it, leave it in the past and move on.
