taking the other half for granted.

The most recurring mistake in a relationship is the failure of partners to shut up and listen to what their mate is saying, either by words, expressions or body language. If you love someone you will put them first and not be selfish, but so many people in relationships forget that they are no longer free to do whatever the heck they want, because there is now someone else in their life. And if you don't put your parnter first, you really need to question whether you love them. But it all starts with communicating and not always wanting to have it your way.
If half of your body was hurting or in need of some form of attention like an itch, or a cold limb, would you ignore it and focus only on the other half that wasn't in need at the moment, or would your whole being be focused on the needs of the hurting or needy part? Your partner is your other half, and you have to tend to that half with as much attention and care as you tend to your half. Pay attention to your mate. It is the most valuable gift you can give your relationship.

1. Communication - people just don't talk and properly, so that they get their point across effectively.
2. Trust - people just don't trust one another anymore. Instead of thinking of a simple answer to "why their partner is late" they straight away jump to the conclusion that they are cheating. Just an example.

lack of communication and not having friends outside of the relationship.
each person needs friends that aren't necessarily friends with the other person....
you can't lose your own identity in a relationship...i think too many people do.

Simple communication, be it about the bedroom or the dishes. It's always the small things that end up being the biggest problem.

"I'm sure that once s/he gets into this relationship with me, s/he will change that objectionable [XYZ] behavior."
People have to want to change. Being in a relationship doesn't supply reason enough to change, most of the time.

The one I am most guilty of is not thinking about the other person's perspective.

Expecting the other person to change- trying to mold them into the person you want them to be instead of accepting them for who they are.
