Your past might have had a few positives, but what is in the past is over and done with. Instead, try to appreciate all the good things your partner does for you and how lucky and blessed you are to have met each other.
Do not try to be someone else to please your partner. Do not fool the other person by showing a picture of yourself that does not exist in reality because later, when you are back to being yourself, your partner might feel cheated. Just dress, walk, talk, laugh, scream, shout and do everything else the way you really are.

Whether your friends like your partner or not is immaterial if you really love each other. After all, you know each other best, and as for your friends, they will slowly begin to like him/her as well. Family pressures such as trying to know each other well quickly, go beyond limits to impress your in-laws, be in everyone’s good books, etc., are best left ignored. You obviously should do all of that but at your own pace and without losing your true identity.
For the better of course! Be open to change. Be it for your partner’s happiness, a new wardrobe change, a new look, trying out hobbies your partner enjoys doing and just small things that attract the two of you to each other. Change can sometimes bring about life altering results!

Talk to each other as often as possible. Discuss your families, your friends, your work, your daily routines etc. Always be in the look with each other’s lives and interested to know what’s new in your partner’s life.
You never know the reason behind your partner’s specific behaviour, or why he gets emotional or angry over some topics. Until you get to the depth of the matter, do not judge each other. Instead, try to find out what is wrong and support each other to find solutions. Be each other’s pillars of support!

Do not be over-possessive if your partner has a few friends of the opposite sex or spends more time with some close friend and not with you. Also, do not compliment him/her unnecessarily without actually meaning it as you might come across as being clingy and fake. At the same time, do not be over-involved in your own world to an extent that your partner feels ignored, unappreciated and unwanted. Strike the balance right, this is just the beginning to a lifelong commitment, you ought to do it right!
Friends are an integral part of our lives. Their suggestions, their verdicts and thought on everything do matter to us. So when it comes to your future spouse, make an effort to mingle with his/her friends not because you have to, but because you want to. Let your partner know that you too will respect and carry forward all their relations forever!
