Relationships are difficult to sustain. Very few relationships sustain for long with both partners totally happy. Most people carry through a relationship w/o any joy right? Most of the guys don't invest enough time in their relationship. Being selfish and storming out an argument w/o an agreement to at least come back later for a resolution. But, i`m not pertaining to all guys ok? It`s your time to defend yourself and ladies to share your experiences about my topic above. :)

I don't think that all men take everything for granted.There are other men who treasure so much there feelings about women but then as time goes by women become demanding . In relationship both must try to adjust each other.

I Agree with you... Men don't invest much time in the relationship as much as women.. this is because for a Man , Love is just a part of his life, but for Woman, Love is already everything... Men are selfish in an argument and is not interested in a solution. When a Man's pride is shattered, he wouldn't stop until he somehow redeem the loss, we call it in our culture "Machismo" or chauvinism.

Cheating and getting caught. People who are not smart should never do that. Most times in the end you may loose everything.

Hello there! Yes there are guys who indeed take their relationships for granted thinking that their partners will stay with them even if they don't exert enough time and effort in the relationship. I think this is the biggest mistake that guys make. Girls want to be loved and to feel loved. Though most guys aren't showy and all. Still, it wouldn't hurt for them to show appreciation and love to their respective partners.

I can't speak for all of the men in the world, but generally speaking, I feel that men tend to be less willing to communicate with their partner than women are. In my own marriage, I know that many times, rather than actually talk to me about things, my husband will try to ignore the issues and seems to think that if he ignores them, they will go away. He rarely wants to even communicate about anything aside for what's for dinner. The other thing I have noticed is that many men, my husband included, tend to take women for granted. Rather than continue to do those little things that they once did to win a women's heart, they will seemingly stop trying once they have her hooked. I remember when my husband would do simple things like hold my hand or put his arm around me, now it is a rare occassion for him to even sit next to me. I personally think that if men would realize just how important those little things are, relationships would be much better. Rather than expecting that the woman is going to do this or that because she always has, men should show a bit more appreciation for the things us women do on a daily basis.

Lust is one of the biggest mistakes. When in a relationship, some men can't control their temptation and start to fool around. In the end, who suffers? The man. Another mistake is violence. Some men grow up in a violent environment when young. When they go into a relationship and their partners make some mistakes or what, the men will tend to scold or even beat their partners.

for my experience the biggest mistake of boys is that they usually act a bit careless. like they are not always saying i love you or hugging or kissing girls all the time^^ they like to play cool and just show care sometimes. and i think that guys should show they care more often^^ also guys are too proud also when there are arguements many guys just turn their backs instead of want to solve the problems. also they dont like to show their weaknesses like if you want to leave them or just bring it up they act like ok just leave like they dont care but in reality they do and also they never want to show they are jealous when is obviously that they are^^ and also they dont like to show they cry for girls too^^ so i think they should show more their emotions like we girls do^^ and love life would be happier and better^^ we all girls want to be treated like babies and be much much cared^^

Ego is the root cause of all evils and every one thinks she or he is right always.If one rethinks about the difference it is easy to reconcile.After all to err is human and every one commits mistakes.The problem comes if you start supporting your view knowing fully well you are wrong.If the other person is wrong you can pardon which is in your hands.One should not go repeating the mistakes and secondly gracefully pardon the other.Then the problems can be solved easily.Therefore every one should have mutual understanding and respect to the other..

relationship is not a solution,to make you happy..relationship

I agree with you and guys usually took advantage of the situation in order them to have the reason to get rid off you...Been there when instead of working things out he decided just to call it quits:(...most guys don't know the real meaning of "communication" especially when you are in a LDR....

The biggest mistake any person in a relationship can make is to be unfaithful to the one that they claim to love. It is never right and it causes great pain to the person who has been cheated on. Men tend to do this because they feel overwhelmed with life and they get bored. Women tend to do it because they feel the man is no longer giving them the attention they need.

You are right. Love Relationships is hard to maintain. There are times that the love fades when it is not sustained for several reasons. It has to be maintained and sustained by the mutual acts and decisions of the partners. It has not to be maintained by one party alone. I believe that the women do more of the efforts to stay in the relationship and to make it work. When there are problems, even when the woman is torn apart, she still decides to stay for her children not to get affected. Biggest mistakes that men make in a relationship? I cannot really tell because I have not experienced any mistake yet. Perhaps, the biggest so far was when I had a relationship with a married man. Other than that, so fat it went well. Other people may have got married at a very young age. Some marriages perhaps got rush into marriage when they are not prepared. Having children when you cannot financially provide them.

Well uumm, let me see sweetie. Okay most men can really be a freaking pain in the butt when it comes to relationships, but on the other hand we as women can be just as bad. Arguments are the main problem in relationships as both can be very feisty sometimes and neither will budge. I would say the biggest mistake most men can make in a relationship is that extra bit of love, respect and attention, we women ssoo love at times. Understanding comes to mind as well. They an be very thick headed sometimes. TATA.
