The secret of making your relationship work

Is to STAY no matter what. Heard this on the radio, and it rang true like a silent bell. Unless your relationship is physically abusive, one should stay and see beyond the emotional difficulties. How f'n true. How many people leave because they think their partners not good enough ( female side) or too emotionally crazy ( male side).

For a typical relationship built on genuine love, but experiencing difficulties, the worst thing one can do... Is LEAVE.
Because it isn't finished yet and they won't be better off as they think.

Yeah, so if one is meant to be emotionally tortured for lyfe, then tough luck. Their soul chose it. 😛

absolute bullshit..

Maybe I am missing the point of this topic but isn't staying obviously vital to making a relationship work?? How can you make it work if you have gone—

But all I know is that no matter how much I love someone, if they cheat I am gone, If they are abusive in any way (physically, verbally, mentally etc..) I am gone, if they steal I am gone, If they continuously lie to me I am gone. Most other things can be talked through as they are not big deals, are people ending relationships because someone forgot to put the bin out? lol. And if fall out of love then I'm gone too.

Also some times the right thing to do is leave as to save the friendship. I always think it's nice when I see ex's who can still be friendly towards eachother and have genuine friendship still (not just because of kids) and when I ask they always say its because they got out before things got destructive.

I think the original theory teaches people to settle.

Yes, being a ride-or-die is essential to any relationship being successful, BUT what most people are forgetting is that you should only be ride-or-die for the RIGHT person.

Problem is, alot of people are in the wrong relationships to begin with, & may just not realize it until later, when the honeymoon stages are over & when the wools is finally out of their eyes. The fix to that isn't to stay in a toxic/unhealthy/undesired situation though, especially if there are more tears/pain than there is happiness/gain.

If you are with the RIGHT person, for all the RIGHT reasons & if you met them at the RIGHT time, of course being ride-or-die is important, can help the relationship out in the long-term & can make 2 people stronger. BUT those "3 Right's" have to be there in order for the "ride or die" theory to be beneficial & actually work

Is to STAY no matter what.

are you a fixed sign?

nothing true in that statement. what if the person you're with is fucking prostitutes, men and women, smoking crack, shooting up heroin and cross dresses?

you would stay? how foolish.
