RE: WHY RELATIONSHIPS FAIL
The reasons relationships fail are primarily due to a LACK of sacrifice, understanding, and compromise, {{{PERIOD}}}. You and I often go back and forth over this issue, but I believe, for all intents and purposes, that we are on the same track. We just define the consequences differently.
When a relationship is new, there are temptations, fear, and doubt, but we "willfully" overcome those hurdles because we are "interested" in the person, and we're willing to sacrifice, understand, and compromise in order to move the relationship forward.
But you know how the saying goes, "Familiarity breeds contempt", that doesn't apply just to relationships; it applies to all aspects of our social welfare. When we get "comfortable" it is usually accompanied by a "lack of appreciation/understanding" which ultimately leads to a lack of both sacrifice and compromise.
Do your own inquiry, and try to determine at what point past relationships failed. I guarantee either you or your partner began to play the power struggle, began thinking selfishly, communication broke down, or, ALL OF THE ABOVE, in some form or fashion.
I'm not saying the "Devil" doesn't exist, but sometimes his "existence", relative to our problems, are a matter of perception and/or your willingness to accept things you cannot change and/or your willingness to compromise {negotiate} with the one you love in order to move the relationship forward.
Sounds like I'm simplifying the issue? Try to incorporate those 3 principles, the next time you're at odds with anyone you’re close to or intimate with. You'll gain a whole new appreciation for the difficulty of the situation once you're in the heat of the moment.
Many of us are not "inherently Evil", and we all basically want the same things out of a relationship LOVE-Security-Success, but we should never lose sight of SACRIFICE UNDERSTANDING & COMPROMISE. In good times it's easy to roll with the punches, but when the ish hits the fan, that's when your "True Character" and the "True Barometer" of your affection is DEFINED.
To each his own.........
