Insecurity is a number one killer for our relationships. If the terrain is not rich with esteem, the relationship will not have a chance to flourish. Thus, it is destined to vanish slowly but surely. Insecurity usually originates from fear, low self-esteem and/or lack of financial stability. Insecurity is detrimental for our relationships as it causes resentment in a relationship which further undermines the very fabric of a relationship. Once accumulated, insecurity can lead to fights and conflicts within a relationship that can eventually destroy it.

Insecurity manifests itself through fear of commitment, jealousy, and uncertainty. People who are extremely insecure are more likely to interpret their partners' actions in a negative way. Insecure persons always look for somebody to blame when things go wrong. They have a tendency to blame their partner for everything that goes wrong in the relationship. They don't take the time to share their insecurities with a partner before they escalate into a problem.

We have all felt insecure at some point in our lives. In fact, the world is filled with insecurity. But, it is one thing to feel insecure but quite another one to act on it. Insecure individuals do not even realize the detrimental impact that their actions have on their relationships. Acting on your insecurity will grow resentment towards your partner, and eventually lead to fighting. Thus, insecurities are destructive as they create an unhealthy environment in a relationship that eventually escalates into fights and even physical violence in some cases. We all know of couples who constantly fight each other in front of friends and family. They give impressions of very insecure people.

If you want to avoid insecurity in your relationship, then work on building up your self-esteem. Maintaining open and warm communication with your partner helps alleviate feelings of insecurity that may be present in your relationship. In fact, the more effort you invest into improving communication lines with your partner and common understanding, the more successful you will become in achieving intimacy and thus avoiding insecurities in your relationship.

Your relationship should be all about building intimacy and peace in your life as it is your only corner of privacy in today's world full of fears and insecurity. Nurture your relationship by being honest and open with your partner. By openly sharing your personal fears, dreams, and hopes in an atmosphere free of judgment and ridicule, your personal insecurities will not be allowed to grow into resentment towards your partner. Thus, you will be on the road towards achieving happy and long-lasting relationship.
