Dear men, let’s talk about what really matters in long-term relationships. German scientists from Saarland University conducted a study and came to an interesting conclusion: your personality, not your partner's, plays a key role in how happy you are in a relationship.

The study highlights five personality traits that particularly influence your happiness in a partnership: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to new experiences, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Imagine being on a personal "compatibility test," where you are the main character in your story.

Neuroticism and conscientiousness can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, they can help you better understand yourself and your needs; on the other, they can complicate relationships. For example, if you worry excessively about small things, it may lead to unnecessary conflicts.

An interesting fact: extraverted women, who love socializing and new experiences, often struggle in partnerships. They are ready for adventures and constant new acquaintances, but unfortunately, they may never find marital happiness. So if your lady is a bit of a “free spirit,” it might be worth considering whether she’s the right fit for you.

Here are two main takeaways:

1. Modesty and calmness are key. When choosing a wife, it’s better to go for a girl who understands the value of home life rather than one who is always chasing new acquaintances and adventures.

2. Work on yourself. Relationship problems often stem from ourselves. Without resolving your inner issues, it’s useless to hope that someone else will make you happy.

So, guys, pay attention to your personality traits and choose a partner with whom you can enjoy not just fun but also comfort. Your relationship is your responsibility, and it starts with you!
