Hello guys...Do you know the factors why do some relationships fail?????? For me the main reason is lack of trust to your partner....Before I admit that me and my boyfriend, we don't trust each other...There's always a doubt...I have to report everything to him..What do I do..where will I go...What I am wearing..as in everything.....But then as we grow older, he became mature and I can say that he learned to trust me, and I learned to trust him as well.... Pls share me your stories...

To me, there are two issues: Trust and Communication. I used to doubt my girl because she has this very close guy-friend. My trust started to swing. When fail to trust, communication comes in. We sit down together and talk. Communicate with each other well and understand each other.

I think a lot of reasons people break up varies between person to person. SOmetimes it is trust issues, other times its obsessiveness, abuse, or just people find out they are not right for each other. I have broken up with men because we were not right for each other.

I think trust is very important in a relationship but it is not everything. I trusted my ex husband but I could not live with him long term for various reasons. I just think that I can make better decisions and choices about who I want to be with long term. Again trust is very important probably critical but is not the only element in a sucessful relationship.

Sometimes it due to people going in different directions. People end up growing apart. Some couples experience money problems and can't deal with it. Other couples end up cheating on each other. With me it was the fact that I thought I was not in love with the man I was with for 18 years. So we went our separate ways but were still friends. Now after not being together for two years I realize how much I love him and want to be with him. He misses me and wants me back yesterday. That is why I hope to move to Puerto Rico by next year.

Hi, first, in a relation, both must to communicate, must to be one, must to care, must to be HONEST. This is real problem why some relation fail. When one of them is not honest, and want all time to lie. Trust must to be gain step by step, is hard, but when is love and both want to be toghether is not impossible. Communication and not lies.

well in my case, i don't think either of us liked each other very much so after we started dating, i started to find him gross for some reason... it was bizarre but i just started to hate every single thing he said or did. i couldn't handle him anymore and i just thought this isn't going to work. the thing is that we were really good friends before and i guess for us, a relationship wasn't suitable. we should have stayed as friends and we are now so i'm glad. :)

i agree with you aeshamel ., trust is really important in any relationship ., but i also believe that good communication is also a factor cause if you don't understand each other for sure you may encounter a lot of problems ., just like in my situation now ., if you don't talk much you will not now what's on his/her mind ., so you have to communicate and talk for you not to misunderstood ., or you have a fight with your bf/gf ,. you must have to solve it as soon as you can by means of communication .,

But What is trust? If you don't show to both. The Best thing to do in a relationship is to have a perfect bonding.It's good at first that you should show some passion on your relationship because that is one of the reason why some other couple stick with their partnership.Having a relationship to man or a woman it's just a what we call game there's a competition on it.Have you noticed? Or do you experience? I said that because i've been experience to that kind of situation.As i said try those thing then everything well be arrange well.

I think that the biggest problem these days is that people don't take the time to really get to know their partner, they don't communicate how they really feel and are not willing to compromise their points of view. So the minute something goes wrong, they don't know how to deal with it. I think trust cannot exist on it's own, it takes time through truly knowing your partner

man is a social being and he needs people around him most of the time in his life. so it is necessary for him to have some kind of bonding with others. i feel that it is very difficult for a person to live all by oneself. one needs to cultivate relationships and maintain them. there are endless reasons for this.

I agree that trust is one of the basic foundation of any good relationship. Base on my experienced, girls usually hold the relationship. Men can let go of you anytime they want, but if the girl stand still and hold the relationship with love and care I don't think men can resist that.

There should be many reasons that are responsible for relationship failure.Obviously we can list quite reasons for that inclding distrust. I do think we can learn a lot from every time relationship failure,and we will be more mature when every time we lost love.That's very sad,but it is worth to experience. I don't think that we can be taught to learn relationship skills and it is a natural process we need to experience in person.

I have had a similar experience. I instilled 110% of my trust into him, but in return... NOTHING! If I didn't answer the phone right when he called, he would freak out. It was always like, "Where were you?" "Who were you with?" If I received a phone call, "Who was that??" etc. etc. etc... Turns out, he had been "burned" in past relationships. When he went into detail regarding these past relationships, him being insecure made perfect sense. Now, 5 years later... we're married!! You're probably thinking, "What in the world was she thinking??" Well, as time went on, he learned that I wasn't like these past girls. He learned that I was in it for the "long hall" and I wasn't going to do anything to jeopardize our relationship.

i think relationships fail because life is hard and women and men are so different about how they handle life's struggles. if you are so far apart on things it is hard to make things work. and if life were easier and there were more time for relaxation and fun and one did not have to worry about money all the time i think things would be way different in the relationship department.

Hello aeshamel, I would to share my views about this. You know trust is one thing because if there is doubt between you and your boyfriend or partner love is not respected. Love never say fails but it is the person holding it. I think trust inside are respect, responsible, commitment, sympathy and others are connected all of this into trust. If you have trust...you don't have doubt with him/her If you have trust...you respect her/him if you have trust...you are being responsible Most of all faith of God, to make the relationship intact...

hi aeshamel, were are much alike about relationship problems. i think my boyfriend trust me a lot but sometimes he's curiosity really comes out. he would be asking me where iam and whos wit me and what iam doing to that place and etc. and likewise me too, i trust myself more than him-because probably his a man and we all know that man is polygamous by nature. whenever they got into trouble or whenever we caught them cheating they would ask sorry and do a favor for us. but for me, once my boyfriend betrayed my trust its now so hard to forgive and give him my full trust, 100% trust. that's why probably the reason why girls have lack of trust of their boyfriends because their words alone are untrustworthy enough, how much more is their actions?

There's many factor that can cause relationship fail. You're right,one of them is lack of trust. I had a boyfriend(my first boyfriend actually). We try to trust each other but there's some bad rumor and one of his family didn't like me. The rumor became worse and I didn't know who I can believe in. He also feel the same and my relationship fail. It can fail too if there's family member who don't like the relationship. Nowadays, money become one of important factor too that can make relationship fail or success (you can check one of the discussion in 'being myself' about marry with someone because of money). And, maybe not all, but religion can give big affect to the relationship.
