10 Reasons Why Relationships Fail by Vinshu(f): 10:18pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
No one likes to see a good thing end. 10. Infidelity People often assume cheating is one of the primary reasons why relationships fail. Contrary to popular belief, there is only about a 6% chance of infidelity in any given year of a modern relationship (statistics based on heterosexual couples), and that number rises to 25% over the life of a relationship. While it may not be the main cause for a relationship ending, cheating is still poisonous. Once another person enters the relationships, it is typically difficult to regain trust and stability in order to move forward. 9. Low Self-Esteem In love relationships, self-esteem is necessary for both partners to feel valued and secure. When one partner has low self-esteem, he or she may not feel confident or secure in the relationship. Individuals with low self-esteem do not see their own worth and may stay longer in an unhealthy relationship than those with a higher sense of self-worth. 8 Bad Habits Early on in a relationship, partners often see one another through rose-colored glasses. No matter what outsiders say, their partner is as close to perfect as one could be. He or she can do no wrong. After the honeymoon phase, bad habits become clearer. These can range from slightly bothersome traits such as leaving underwear in the floor to highly destructive traits like compulsive lying or alcohol and drug abuse. 7. Complacency Another cause for relationship problems is complacency. One or both partners may feel like relationship is simply standing still and no longer going anywhere. This also happens after the honeymoon phase is over. At first, both partners are learning and growing and surprising one another. Over time, they fall into a rhythm. For some this rhythm is a good thing; for others it’s a sign marked “Dead End”. 6. Control Issues An uneven distribution of power can prompt trouble in love relationships, too. This relationship problem can rear its head in a number of ways and may even go on for years before one partner decides enough is enough. Control issues may include: one partner making all the decisions without consulting the other; manipulation; controlling the money and requiring that the other partner ask them when cash is needed; requiring that one’s partner check-in or ask for permission before going out with family or friends. 5. Conflicting Goals Many love relationships fail to survive because the two partners are going in separate directions in their lives. Perhaps, they once shared the same life goals and those goals have since changed. For example, one partner may have made drastic changes in religious or political views, whether children are desired, or even where in the world he or she would like to live. In a compromising relationship, the couple may be able to reach an agreement on these factors. However, depending on how rigid these goals are for both partners, it may be a warning sign for incompatibility. 4. Social Isolation It is totally romantic to always want to spend time with your partner and never be without them. Still, love relationships require space and outside socialization to develop healthily. Relationship problems may emerge if being together has caused one or both partners to distance themselves from family and friends. 3. Abuse Obviously, physical abuse signals an unhealthy partnership that should not continue. However, other more subtle forms of abuse such as emotional and verbal can prompt someone to want to get out. It’s important to remember that no form of abuse is ever right. If you feel unsafe in your relationship, ending it is the healthiest choice. 2. Finances The money itself usually isn’t the reason to part ways. Instead, couples tend to break up over continuous disagreements about their finances. These run the scope of excessive spending, debt, or risk-taking activities such as gambling. Plus, extended periods of debt can wear on a romantic relationship, especially when one partner blames the other for their circumstances. 1. Poor communication Communication has been touted as the single most effective attribute of a successful relationship. On the other hand, it is also the biggest reason why couples break up. According to YourTango.com’s survey of mental health professionals, 65% of divorces were initiated as a result of communication problems. Furthermore, 43% of relationships failed because of an inability to resolve conflict. 2 Likes |

I commend the OP for this post. We all know the truth, but it's hard for 'some' to just do the Truth. Truth that would make their life heaven on earth is difficult for them and they settle for the next available option that would take the nowhere... |

juhan:you are still correct but all am trying to say is that no matter how hard you try to make it work, if you two are not meant for each other it wont work out. |
Re: 10 Reasons Why Relationships Fail by ettaetta(m): 8:12am On Mar 22, 2016 |
Vinshu:i disagree with some of your point. No one is perfect, everyone has a dark side. You dont really love someone until you realise their imperfection and still love them. If your partner has low self esteem, you are supposed to help him/her to boost it. If your partner has a bad habit you are supposed to help him or her to correct it instead of leaving the person. |
