Wouldn't it be great if we could find a partner who was exactly like us? What would it be like to be with someone who had the same tastes, likes, and dislikes as us? Answer: it would be just as aggravating and confusing as being in a relationship with someone different than us.

While it might seem like the ideal situation, we can't be in a relationship with ourselves; besides, most of us are unaware of what we're like in a relationship. No matter how aware we are of our idiosyncrasies, quirks, and weaknesses, we'd probably still be surprised at how annoying we can be.

If you asked me, I might say that I'm a fantastic person to be in a relationship with and that everything I do is in the best way possible. Still, I suck a lot of the time. I try to be considerate of other people, to be kind and thoughtful, but I'm sure a bunch of the time I come off as self-centered, whiny, and full of myself.

We can't ever see the full picture when it comes to our own selves and our behavior. The things we think of as perfectly normal —  such as my almost rabid observances of sell-by-dates —  may come off as illogical, abnormal and/or odd to others. Because we have lived with ourselves our whole lives, we think the things we do are what everybody else does and they don't stand out to us as strange.

As it can be challenging to look at ourselves as other people do, astrology can help. Although everyone born under each of the signs are individuals, they still share certain similarities, and it is through the similar types of behavior that we can learn about ourselves.

If we learn about our behavior and how it affects our interactions with others, it can help to make us better partners and improve our relationships. Here's some insight on what you're like in a relationship, according to your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

love, zodiac istock

If you're an Aries, you're very honest, passionate and energetic when it comes to your relationship. You like to do things, have fun, and no challenge is too great for you. You barely give your partner a chance to catch their breath before you're off on another adventure.

You're flirty, but not to the point of being unfaithful — just enough to keep yourself feeling confident. You're never boring or predictable and people envy your relationship from afar because it appears to be vibrant and electric.

In the way you work to maintain your home, you also do with your relationship, Taurus. You know and accept that relationships take a lot of work and you'll willing to do it. You don't trust easily, but you must have it in your relationship or it won't last.

If you're in a relationship, Gemini, it isn't something that you entered into lightly. You've had many experiences and you love to socialize, so when you commit to one person it's because they captivated not just your heart, but your mind and soul as well.

You need constant intellectual stimulation. Being in a relationship with you isn't just fun, it's about constantly improving your mind, conversation, and seeing the humor in life. You and your partner keep each other on your toes, and they must be a match for you or you would get bored quickly and leave.
