Have you ever thought that the reason people fail in relationships is because they are too unrealistic and immature?

I recently came to that realization. It has been sobering. I need to get my sh!+ together first.

That's a huge factor for sure, but another reason is that people keep growing and changing as they get older, no matter the age. You might find that the perfect relationship that is mature and realistic can still fail as the two people grow apart and suddenly want different things in life, so the best thing is a breakup.

That being said, immature and unrealistic relationships are basically doomed to fail, or to become some sort of toxic relationship full of resentment.

Sometimes it's that. But i believe the number one cause of relationship failure is lack of communication.
Take the aita subreddit for example, half the time people come there to voice their concerns or frustrations about their relationships rather than actually talk to their partner. So immaturity and lack of communication are the main relationship killers.

I don't know. My previous relationship ended because I refused to have pre-marital sex. Is it unrealistic to want to wait until marriage?

[Asker]

Actually, I think that is admirable. It's so rare nowadays!

[BrotherBane]

Not at all, keep doing what you're doing!

[Gloree]

yes. many think it's a bed of roses. it's a partnership.

[Guy13]

There you go... exactly !!

[SnowedIn]

Absolutely. Relationships are wonderful, but they come with extraordinary hard work and responsibility every single day.

If you don't like yourself, you are no good for anyone.

A lot of people have that problem particularly common among women. Far too many of whom go into their marriage with sky high expectations and end up filing for divorce because human husband failed to live up to them

[HappyWoman34]

Yes I do think that.

[boggboss]

Yeah its not that surprising

[Nikki1989]

That usually has a lot to do with it.

[Keishio]

[LazerBean]
