What is the ideal relationship like anyway?

Someone who sticks with ya thru the thick & thin. Or put simply someone who actually sticks to the marriage vow. Promises are promises. If we’re talking marriage of course

In a dating relationship, friendship companionship and someone you can pour your heart out too without judgement. If your wrong that person should say so and set you straight kindly if your down they pick u up and so on. That’s what love is.

Good sex. If your compatable there you put up with all the other shite quite easily!

A good friend. If you can’t talk with your partner your on the back foot already. Being friends helps no end.

You have similar expectations out of life…we often dont’ have the money or will to make it happen your pushing shite up hill!

Listening. You need to be on the same page as your partner!

My wife is the perfect one for me. We have a lot of love and total commitment to one another. We complement each other well wish our strengths. She’s more anxious and I’m more calm. She’s put up with my bipolar and sz and drinking, hospitalizations and such and still we can’t get enough of each other. Overall we are a team going thru life and are far greater together than apart.

It’s like warm apple pie.

I don’t know. It seems like there are some women I can communicate with, and others I can’t. To me, good communication on the part of both parties in the relationship is vital. I’d be willing to forgo a lot of desirable traits in a woman just so I had one that I could communicate with satisfactorily.

A healthy relationship takes time and effort to stick which is why more than half of marriages or relationships end. People do not have the patience for it these days. Their list of ‘needs’ (demands) must be met and if they aren’t they look for it elsewhere. Or someone in the relationship forgets that the other is human and makes mistakes.

Lack of respect and time given to one another for talking, but most importantly listening, is the cause of many a break up.
