The 'Death by Comparison' Effect? Sounds Expensive!

Alright Beast Crew let's talk relationships! I'm no expert I usually just give away Lambos and hope girls like me but apparently there's this phrase that's worse than saying you only have $1 in your bank account. It's 'Why can't you be more like [insert someone else]'! Boom! Instant relationship demolition. According to some fancy pants psychologist Dr. Mark Travers it's like a slow motion TNT explosion for your love life. And trust me I know explosions!

Is Your Partner NOT Enough? That'll Cost Ya!

Okay so the problem isn't actually about Sarah's husband who plans dates or your ex who apparently knew how to fold a fitted sheet. No the real issue is telling your partner they're just… not cutting it. Like imagine telling Chandler he's not as good at counting money as I am! Devastating! It makes them feel like they're failing the 'Be My Partner' challenge. Nobody wants to feel like they're only worth a participation trophy!

Why Do We Even Say It? Probably Because We're Scared!

Turns out we're all a bunch of scaredy cats! Instead of just saying 'Hey I need more cuddles!' or 'Please stop using my limited edition signed baseball bat as a back scratcher!' we drop comparison bombs. Dr. Travers says it's because we're afraid of how our partner will react. Sounds like some of the contestants when I told them they would be eating a pizza made of bugs. Newsflash: Honesty is the best policy unless you're hiding a surprise Lamborghini.

Level Up Your Communication: It's Easier Than Counting to a Billion!

Alright challenge time! Instead of saying 'Why can't you be more like Alex? He never blows up over small things,' try something like 'It would mean a lot to me if we could speak to each other kindly without yelling.' See? It's all about YOU. Not Alex the perfect anger free robot. This is how we start to build our own custom Minecraft houses instead of copying someone else's! We all have the diamonds inside of us!

Be Real Be Flawed Be... Irreplaceable!

Relationships are about loving each other for who we are not who we *should* be according to some random person. Remember everyone's got their quirks and flaws even me! Like I'm terrible at remembering birthdays but I *can* give away a private island so it balances out. Be brave enough to say what you need and trust that your partner won't run screaming into the night. Unless you're covered in slime. Then that's fair.

Bonus Tip: Therapy! It's Cheaper Than a Private Jet!

If you're still struggling don't be afraid to see a relationship therapist! It's an investment in your happiness and definitely cheaper than buying a fleet of monster trucks. And hey if all else fails just remember my motto: 'Anything is possible!'... except maybe fixing a relationship with passive aggressive comparisons. Good luck Beast Crew! Now go out there and build some EPIC love!
