In car racing, car crashing is just a part of the sport, but things get complicated when it’s your boyfriend who makes you bite the dust. Danica Patrick was involved in a car crash during the Coca-Cola 600 race in Concord, North Carolina this past weekend, according to UsMagazine.com. Her boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. may be responsible for the incident. The Associated Press says Patrick was on lap 319 of the race when Stenhouse Jr. bumped into her, sending her car into the back of Brad Keselowski’s car. Both Patrick and Keselowski had significant damage and had to take their cars back for repairs.
How can competition help your relationship?
Cupid’s Advice:
Although competition can sometimes lead to fights in a relationship, it can also be a good thing if used correctly. Cupid has some advice:
1. Share each other’s good points: When competing with your partner you are able to recognize and enjoy each other’s talents. Make sure to highlight how your individual gifts shine positively on each other. Your partner will feel appreciated by you.
2. You can help each other: If you make this promise to each other it will decrease the level of competition and also squelch the need to be better than the other person. You can encourage each other to become a better person.
3. Shared interests: Competition in some form is a good thing. It means that you two have something in common. A common interest can bring you together; you can share the fun in whatever you both like to compete in.
