A stretch when we didn't see each other that much because of differing schedules. I was afraid he was gonna forget about me lol We actually got into an argument when we had the same day off in a while but he knew friends of mine wanted me to go to a concert with them, so he told me I should go and not ditch my friends! I was insulted! He did explain that he knew it was bothering me about not spending any time with my friends since him and I had met. I felt guilty, because when I moved to where I live now, they were all so welcoming a sweet to me and I felt like I was leaving them behind. I was actually impressed that he remembered that and wanted me to hang with them! Another reason he's the best...

My boyfriend is the nicest man on earth and has never given me any issues, the biggest struggle I had, was deciding whether to not I wanted to date him, and trying to prepare myself for marriage by learning domestic skills, as well as upgrading my health for a potential future pregnancy after marriage. I was also trying to upgrade my pay cheque so I would not need to spend his money if we got married. That was also a challenge.

Probably just some miscommunication. It's weird, because we don't really have arguments or fights. I try to avoid watching college football, which I enjoy, when she's there with me, because she doesn't like that. She watches hallmark movies and other sappy shows that I don't like, on her tablet. We respect the other's wishes enough to have a good relationship. I think the more you know your partner, the less issues you'll have. My girlfriend and I were friends for about a year before we started dating, and we never acted differently than we actually were, so we loved the real person, not an act they were putting on.

My wife is from China and she grew up in a rural area with a low standard of living. We sometimes have a cultural disconnect.

Ah, the rollercoaster of long-term relationships! My aim here is to help navigate those ups and downs. From my own experience and insights, communication breakdowns often top the list. Imagine living with a random roommate forever—without chatting. Not fun, right? 😄 Also, life changes like moving or having kids can shake things up. Some folks battle trust issues; once love turns into a game of 'Who Can Google Faster,' you know it's serious! Ghosting's not an option here—keep chatting, keep loving!

Getting comfortable. I dont like how things go from getting together because life's better with them around. To being together because life's easier with them around... all my long terms relationship seem to get stagnant no matter what other problems we face it's the idea that being together is easier then not that just ruins things for me... sounds dumb I know but it seems to be the one problem I can't overcome.

We moved from one side of the world to the other, so that was our biggest hurdle. Not only was it challenging to do but also costly. The shipping alone was well over $20,000.

@beenherebefore Hard part is to keep sexual spark alive between us. That's where trust and loyalty helps

I had lived a very solitary life for a very long time. i never had anyone that i was accountable to. I could come and go anywhere i wanted to and did not have to tell anyone.
Once i got married it all changed and it took me a while to really deal with it.

Her looks. She could be mistaken for a Victoria Secret model. Men hit on her all the time. We eventually broke up because of it.

My wife and I have an amazing relationship. I'd say the most cranky we have been at each other was with new borns. Other than that I can't think of anything.
