i know that a lot of us stay in relationships that are bad because we are hoping that they will get a little better and just work themselves out, but then there are sometimes that we just get out when things start getting bad because we don't want to have to go through all of that and we think that it will just be better to get out of it and less stressful, i have done both and for me i try and work things out before i just bail and not come back, but like i said thats just me personally we all have our own things that we decide so what about you, are you happy in your current relationship? thanks for taking the time out of your day to read my discussion and i hope that you all have a great evening and night!

I'm happy with my relationship. There are little things that we have been trying to work on forever, but for the most part we are happy. 2 weeks ago we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and then a week later our sons 1st birthday. Things are pretty good.

well I'm really hoping mine will work itself out. We tried so many times but always seem to end up at the same place, arguing, breaking up, name it. i think the hope of things working out them-self is the reason for people staying in unhappy relationships.

I am very happy with my relationship. We've had our ups and downs but what couple doesn't? Now my first marriage was awful. I stayed with him for eighteen years (because of the kids) and I won't ever go through what that man put me through again..But, like I said..I am happy now, that's what matters. :)

I am happy in the relationship i am in even though we have our ups and downs.. we have plenty of arguements but these arguements are the ones that build a healthy relationship i guess!

I just came out of a long term marriage with someone i was very unhappy with. I am with someone new who I have a lot more in common with and who takes part in helping raise my children. I'm beyond happy. Sometimes its like I won the lottery.

Their is no relationship that is perfect. Yes it's true that we try to work it out I think it's all the time especially when you love the person. It is better to try then not trying it. It's better to feel love then not feel at all. Yes we do have problems it comes and go but it's part of relationship, it's how you tackle it. Problems let you know each other more each day, how you face it together. I'm happy each day having her to my life,how we stand together and I don't want the days to pass by with out her being in my side. Hoping to last long and spending life together. Have a nice day!

Am happy with my current relationship because I love the person whom I’m with. I love my boyfriend and he loves me the same way. We are happy together!:) and though there are downs in the relationship, we both work it out, together. We are not perfect, because no relationship is perfect, but we see to it that we learn from the mistakes and from the little fights that we had, and we are always be there for each other no matter what!:)

I am very happy with my relationship. We must solve all our problems as early as possible. Coz we can see after solving problems, that we were loosing our good moments for very little reason. If we can't change the things & if we can accept the life as it is then we will be more happy.

Yes, i am happy with my relationship with my husband. We've been together for 6 years now and still going strong. We decided to stick with one another no matter what. So even problems and trials comes along our way, we still survive.

No jhl930, I am not happy in my relationship for I don't feel as if I am in one. He has so many things do to. Between working, dealing with family, and being a hero to everyone, I am the one who is left alone. There is a picture of us on my nightstand when things were nice. I often look at that picture and say how I would love to go to that place again when we were together more often and enjoying each other's company. He says things are going to get better, and yes I fall under the catagory of trying to stick it out in hopes of things getting better. So from my mouth to God's ear, I pray that they do. God Bless and take care jhl930!

I know and you're right.. it's the choise that we have made to spend our little time in to myLot.. and I think it's how you look at it/some things in life.. of course it's not always that easy.. About my current relationship? it's okay... I am married for almost 29years now.. sometimes we argue about everything on earth just like any body else.. nobody's perfect, you know.. and we do all the best we can.. even more it's not always that easy to be patience and not mentioning to listen/to read in every body her/his words.. so.. Thank You & Best Regards,

Good question and so serious from one so young! I am not happy in the relationship that I'm in right now. My roomate/boyfriend? and I are not ever exactly on the same page about our "situation". We started to "see" each other a year ago while he was "in a relationship" with someone else that I knew. It is too long and confusing to explain the details. Needless to say, it didn't work out. He moved in with me as a "roomate" in January. It was not as anything but a "friend with benefits thing". At the time I hoped things might change. Now they haven't exactly changed and I don't know how I feel. As roomates we get along great except that he likes to go and do as he please which doesn't always sit well with me. He keeps alot of secrets, doesn't always tell me where he's going, who he's seeing and expects me to be fine with that. He has stayed out 3 times and supposedly told me where he stayed. I'm confused about the way I feel at this point. I like him being here, but I don't like some of his ways. I know we aren't in love. We have respect for each other to an extent. It's hard to explain. So as I said, I really confused.

Yes i am... although my mom thinks I'm silly and maybe a lot would think i'm stupid and crazy, but I am happy and I am so in love right now. I think that is what's more important.

My relationship is not bad, it is just that it can be hard at times. I am married, have been married for 7 years and together for 9 and it has been a relationship that has been up and down. We have four children together and we have a pretty happy family life together, there are still some kinks but as I am finding out there is a lot more to a relationship/marriage than sunshine and flowers! Relationships are hard work! But lots of fun, never a dull moment in ours!
