Relationship do’s, and don’ts are constantly ingrained into our lives. To avoid ruining your relationship, certain behaviors and choices are taboo. The right circumstances might allow you to embrace some “taboo” relationship choices.
Sleeping In Separate Beds
Sleep separation is stigmatized culturally as a “sleep divorce.” However, the nighttime separation of some relationships can be infinitely more beneficial. This arrangement can lead to a healthier relationship as long as both partners are happy.

Talking About Your Romantic Pasts
Most couples don’t discuss their love lives before they got together. It shouldn’t be taboo to discuss previous relationships. Whenever couples ignore data-rich details of their relationship histories out of fear, jealousy, or insecurities, they miss learning about one another’s evolution.

Engaging in flirty banter with someone other than your partner might indicate you are unfaithful or unhappy in your current relationship. However, flirting without infidelity can add spice to your relationship when done without malice.
Taking Separate Vacations
There must be a balance between familiarity and distance in a healthy relationship. Each partner can be autonomous, independent, and self-reliant while vacationing separately. In addition, it allows each person the chance to miss the other, allowing for a renewed appreciation of one’s partner.
