Do You Agree Or Disagree: "It Takes Two To Make Or Break A Relationship"?
Anonymous(30-35)For me, it's a very easy question: One person is enough to shatter a relationship completely, and even when they usually want to blame their partner, they're the ones that are in the wrong. My father would always say that "men have to have sex", and say that my mother didn't give him the kind of sex he wanted, so he had to look for it elsewhere, and thus justify his cheating. Does that "justification" have anything to it? Can someone be so dumb as to believe it? Obviously he was the one to completely break the relationship, and my mother didn't have anything to do with it.
It can happen that both are to blame too, and, like the poll says, in order to BUILD it, there's definitely the need for two, not just one. But to break it? One is often enough

It takes two to make a relationship work, because no two partners are a perfect match and each has flaws and eccentricities that the other most understand and tolerate. But one partner, alone can ruin a relationship. Cheating is the most obvious example of how one partner can ruin a relationship.

It takes 2. The couple and the family
1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Initially the easy answer is it takes one person to break a relationship. This is because one person can choose to cheat or abuse someone else and their choice severely hurts their SO without the SO even knowing at the time. But then I thought about it more and picked two people because even in the case where one person cheats it still takes an action by the other person to confirm the break. All too often one person acts badly and the other person is passive or again has no knowledge of this bad behavior and the damaged relationship continues. So if person A cheats, it’s up to person B to actively choose to walk away or fight for the health of the relationship and eventually forgive.
Yet another reason I choose two people is both people daily must choose to devote energy and time to that relationship in order to keep it healthy and grow. While one person may initiate bad behavior such as cheating they are often less likely to choose this if their needs are being met by their partner. Obviously this duel responsibility to prevent bad behavior isn’t foolproof as individuals may enter a relationship damaged and any trigger could cause them to strike out in abuse. But for the most part it takes 2 people asking for what they need and choosing to meet the needs with a giving heart of their SO.
This is even the case in death. Traditional marriage vows state ‘till death do we part’ but even when someone dies the other person has an choice and must actively choose to heal and break that relationship. If they do not, in a sense the relationship goes on.- 2.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
It depends entirely on the situation. Say hypothetically a man and a woman are married. the man his happy, his life is going well.. he works, he comes home, he takes care of his kids.. But the wife is not happy. Not only is she not happy she won't tell him directly whats wrong. Instead she drops little idiotic manipulative childish hints. The man, being a man, Doesn't get these hints, cause if he is anything like me, i see hints, and riddles as an insult to my honesty and i ignore them on principle. So unknown to him the wife wants a divorce, but before she divorces she cheats on him several times. Then just vanishes in the middle of the night one night with the kids. not so much as a note to him.. In this situation it might take two, but one person was clearly not doing a good job of communicating. Both are guilty here.. But the man is guilty to a lesser degree, because he is doing everything he has been taught he is supposed to do, and the woman is incapable of communication beyond dropping hints..
2.4K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Yes and no. Only one can leave and that breaks the relationship. However it does take two to make a healthy relationship work.
Sadly from both genders, either the man or woman does everything the partner wants without question.
That is not exactly healthy, like go do this for me and you are not allowed to do this, and I don't want you to have your own favourite thing or opinion.
It needs to start here, you both as kids in kindergarten. What would you be corrected to do? What they support? For example, a girl demanded you bring me that toy vs. Can you please bring me the glue. Or a boy had a temper about his "toy" car being vs asking to share his "toy" car.
Sharing and manners are important in a relationship. It does take two to make it work correctly but one can make the relationship survive on life support by simply giving into demands and one can simply leave- 901 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
It takes two. I mean you hear about the cheating and yeah, thats shitty but what caused it? I mean over a third of marriages are sexless, if you refuse to be intimate with your partner for five years and they go out and cheat, sure they were a piece of shit but can you really say it was a surprise? Can you really say they didn't push their partner to that? Obviously thats not going to be every occurence of it but most things don't just happen and if the person was that much of a piece of shit to begin with why did you choose to be with them?
Thats not to say it can't be one person who ruins it, only that its not the norm and I would even go so far as to say its not even uncommon but exceedingly rare that this is the case. So in general, it takes two. - 502 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
Yes, but many times one can turn out to be a real jerk but they hid it from you in the beginning. Those relationships are better to break I think.
-
it takes 2 to MAKE a relationship, but only one to break it... 2 people have to be able to forgive, forget, ignore, love, share, encourage and be intimate with each other... but when one person in the relationship falls out of love, prefers someone else, or is just too rude and mean, their partner has NOTHING in their power that can make the person have a change of heart or mind... this can only come from within the person themselves

Yes, it takes 2 for a relationship to work. Like with my parents, always arguing and my dad instead of him coming home, he would go to the bar then there were times he would be sick and other times he would be drunk and want sex from my Mom ( late) and my Mom always said, she wasn't having sex with a drunk, so that all seem to be the reason they got divorced in 1994.

Yeah, it takes 2 to make a normal relationship work.
And it takes only one to burn it to the ground.
However it is also possible, that one influenced the other and in return or effect the relationship suffers.
Simple.837 opinions shared on Relationships topic. It takes one to break it, two to make it.
But one can fix it. Which I didn't use to believe, untill I had a marriage coach correct my thinking. And they proved their point with examples. So it's possible one person can save a relationship, it's just really hard-
No question about it. Thus I'm divorced I was trying to keep my marriage together but somehow even when she agreed to go to counseling she never show up and then she would say to me "that only I needed help plus I was the only reason we were having truoble! It wasn't cuz she is a complete Narcissist and cheater it was all my problem ! So Yes if both of you won't work for your marriage to work it pointless! Trust me
For a relationship to last in a healthy manners, both partners must be happy. To me, a relationship is a connection and a connection requires both parties partaking in the connection to work. If the plug does not work or if the socket does not work, you can't have a connection. It takes 2 to make a relationship but only one to break it or, at least, damage it.
3.2K opinions shared on Relationships topic. It definitely takes two to MAKE a relationship, but it only takes one to break it. That doesn't mean is ALWAYS only one who breaks it - it's often both - but it's still very possible for one person to be completely responsible for the breaking.
-
If the people work together the relationship can last however it doesn't take both people in order to break it up. Either lying and cheating or even saying "I feel that we just don't work" means the end of it.
-
I think it takes two to make one but only one to break one. Relationships are a partnership so both people have to work together. Whenever one person wants out or messes up then the relationship is automatically over.
Disagree because, in relationships once you’re broken you can’t be fixed. Sometimes you forgive because you’re afraid of loosing your partner but what you don’t understand is that you will be losing yourself if you decided to continue.
-
It takes two to tango... but one always takes the lead. In other words, 1 may choose to break the relationship due to how one id subconsciously. in my opinion, it takes two to break a relationship but it isn’t necessary in the fault of or upto the second person.
