What is the one readon you think relationship s fail? I know therr csn be many due to thr circumstances but ehat is one reason you think? For me I think lack of communication, not expressing our feelings snd sharing what's on our mind. Like we expect our partner to be a mind reader. Your thoughts

Im getting a new phone hate this one

Hi pkh!
I think along with lack of communication, assumptions are sometimes made. Once the person assumes something, it becomes reality to them. I had this happen to me! Kinda sad as he was a really nice guy!

Just one thought!

yes like ee are supposed to know how or what they are feeling. Wr need to open up and ask

.. when your partner.. holds on to. and constantly reminds you.. of any past mistakes you have made... no matter how... much. you have changed are grown... they won't let your past. mistakes.. stay in the past.. definitely a relationship killer.... and a crappy attitude will do it to you... some people just wake up miserable.... I would laugh right here but its not really funny....hmm

yes that is bad if you can't forgive and put it behind you then how long must one keep trying... crappy attitude big deal breaker

Being unforgiving!

I find a huge difference between someone who has hurt me but didn't mean to - in this case I will let them know it hurt and then forgive them. I won't bring it back up unless it is repeated.

And the opposite of this is someone whose intention was to hurt me. They meant it and did it knowing full well that I would be hurt! That I have great difficulty with. I struggle then with forgiving the person. I know I should but dammmm that's hard!

The fact some would want to argue a lot, or want to be controlling. Those two traits will always have me running for the door. It should never be double standards. Oh, and one that irks me, he couldn't stay, because my "male fans" always wanted to speak to me. He got antsy, or jealous, because HE thought I was too "pretty" to be with him. But I gotta ask, "Why would I go off with some stranger, over him, when I had a special bond with him?". Even if someone DOES like the way I look, it doesn't mean anything. Some people. :shrug:

Lack of communication and lack of compromise

paranoia and jealousy

Lack of trust.

Lack of communication..
Lack of trust...

2 major killers of relationships!

pessimistic attitude or constant complainer!

drives me nutssssss!!

I never think of them as 'failed.'
Rather, a stepping-stone to a better one.
Lessons learned.
Changes, maybe, made.

Abusive behavior, flat out unfaithfulness, distance, lies, miscommunication, sometimes it just happens...

Alcohol

right. First what constitutes a failed relationship? I would say, generally, one where one person is less interested or less vested in the relationship (no matter what kind of relationship it is, not just romantic)because then one person will feel less valued and the relationship will falter and the people will grow apart looking perhaps for others who feel equally invested in a relationship of some kind.

But I don't see that as negative or a negative view of failure. Unless something goes horribly wrong there will probably still be a residual friendship of some sort

What cause this "drifting apart" or lack of investment? It could be a number of things from not enough in common, to differing communications style, different humor, lack of sexual attraction....with the overall reason being a lack of equal interest in the relationship

this too. I agree with this completely moreso than anything else said so far

I think honestly these days its easy whores and the internet people get on the net and get tempted

Not wanting the same things from the relationship.

Falling out of love or not being able to cope with romantic feelings.

It can be lots of things. Hard for me to put my finger on one single thing that made the relationship with my ex fail, although there was a "final straw". When I talk to her about it, I can say that it was because of the way that she was and things that she said or did and I have said that to her but there were of course two sides to it and I recently summed it up by saying that she just didn't have enough patience with me.
