Just because something is a rule doesn't mean it should be followed, and just because something isn't a rule doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Human compassion and caring trump all, and it's those rules that you should follow first and foremost. Here are 29 unwritten rules of life that are more worth living by than the law. 

Relationships are a tough boat to navigate, yet they're the backbone of most of our lives. Relationships are built on trust and honesty, even when being honest might not be the easiest way to go. Your partner deserves to hear the truth even if it's not what they want in the moment and always deserves your respect. Don't greet them with a to-do list when they walk through the door, and don't walk through the door with all of the bad things that happened during your day. Both will only create negative associations. 

In order to do relationships well, you need to respect yourself. Sorting out your own problems before bringing someone else into them is one of the best things you can do for your future partner. Hopefully, more people will start following these unwritten rules, and make the world a better place.
