Do you believe people who fail at love are failures at life?

Question

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

Lol no not even
First of all you can't fail at love. It takes one person to love. It takes 2 people in a relationship to love to make it work at the same time
if your not on the same page
Or if one stops growing with the other the one that still going forward living life wanting to explore and experience

You can become angry at the other person Because you feel cheated Because they just stopped right in the middle of everything

but you can't fail at love you can stop giving it

But once you love somebody or loved somebody and have the experienced it

you cannot fail there's no such thing not unless the person is just straight up evil

And then after all that drama and you walk away you still haven't failed because you gave love
you loved somebody

just because you might not like them right now or whatever
doesn't mean that you failed it means that two people are now not compatible with each other and that could be for many reasons or a choice

I've always felt no matter what happens negative in life there's a reason for it and once you accept that

and acknowledge it and just clear your heart an then thats when better things will come

but first you have to acknowledge it and accept it

I think the only way that you can fail at love is if you do not give a crap
or experience it and I don't even think that's a failure I think that's a choice

And I don't care who you are everybody has something or somebody that they love that makes them happy and it should start out with themselves first

Because once you respect and love yourself then you understand love and you can love anybody

and like like anything else in the world even love has its boundaries and once you understand your boundaries and you understand everybody's family

It goes by a case by case scenario. When you're young, no. Love is hard for all of us. But when you're young, you've barely experienced life, so you have a clear excuse.

But as you get older (like around my age) people start to wonder... why was he unable to have a successful relationship? What's wrong with him? And in ways... there's a truth to it. I must not be a desirable person in some way or ways that I was unable to find someone in say... around 14 years of dating and being available. Maybe it's my personality? Maybe it's my career? Maybe it's my family? Maybe it's my views? Etc.

That applies to everyone as they get older. And you do have an some excuses to make sometimes like... you can't find anyone that meets your standards or most of the people you date turn out to either not be a fit or were toxic in some way. But again... not a single person locked down in all those years?

Not at all. I beleive that people who don't find love are very successful at other spheres of life like making money, or building a career or achieving other important life goals. I am a firm beleiver in love but that can't be the sole priority of life. You can give and receive love in other ways through your passions and how you choose to live.

No we are genetically modified for exactly that, falling in love and producing an offspring. If you can fall in love, your body and genes work just fine. You’re doing what you are supposed to do.

My aim on GAG is to decode love, drama and all the messy in‑betweens for you.

Failing at love doesn’t mean you’re a failure at life, not even close. It just means you picked the wrong person, the wrong time, or had the wrong skills. Love is a skill set, not a destiny. You learn, level up, spot red flags faster, and try again.

Finchie40 · Answer

Not at all , just because they failed in their relationship , it doesn’t mean they will fail again with the right person or fail being single , some people just end up with the wrong person for themselves it doesn’t mean their personal life is a failure whatsoever , especially if they are successful at what they do for a living and well liked by others’ , the relationship has nothing to do with their achievements, some people achieve better , after they end a relationship with someone , that was holding them back from success. The right person will support you the wrong person will not. After me
And my ex split , my life has been way better without her because my bank account is growing 😂

I started dating Ms. Helen when i was almost 66 and married her when i was 69. You can’t say that you failed until your life has concluded because you are never too old to find love.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, those are two completely unrelated topics.

postaldudePL123 · Answer

Tbh, a lot of people don't have romantic love as a priority, so failing at it absolutely does not make someone a failure at life. Life is incredibly multifaceted, and the idea that romantic success is the ultimate measure of a person's worth is a very narrow perspective. Striking out in romance has no bearing on your overall success because people have different definitions of fulfillment. Many individuals are completely happy pouring their energy into their careers, personal passions, travel, or creative pursuits, viewing a romantic relationship as just an optional bonus rather than the main goal. Furthermore, romantic love is just one slice of the pie. You can have an incredibly rich, successful life filled with deep connections through friendships, family bonds, and community. Often, what society calls a failure in love, such as a breakup or a divorce, is actually a massive success in self respect. Choosing to walk away from a bad match or choosing to remain single rather than settle is a win, not a failure. Ultimately, your value is defined by your character, your personal growth, and what you contribute to the world, not by your relationship status.

molonski2 · Answer

Nope , not even close..
As virtually everyone will fail , that's the actual Stat , it's impossible to target the actual percentage but it's tiny not 50 / 50 , so therefore everyone would fail.

Younger people are idealistic as was I , and of course I thought there was this massive love , it doesn't exist , now I've lived a diverse life , and all of it was a success / failure of sorts.

So quite obviously the answer is NO , and when you think about it , you could be a success = next day failure , life is fickle.

FreyaRed · Answer

No. Some are failure in relationships because it's not their type of game but they are highly skilled in other games which are important to be successful in life.
In relationship is benevolence, slight goofiness and limited gullibleness acceptable, In competitive games where the winner takes all, those traits are rather counterproductive.

Billlewis · Answer

No. If anything, I think the opposite is true. I would say that I've been successful at pretty much everything, except, until recently, love. That's why successful men, in particular, often struggle with rejection, because we're used to being in control of our own destiny most of the time, and then all of a sudden, we've got so much riding on the decision being made by someone else, whom we're in love with, and almost invariably, she says 'No', and we're devastated.

Anonymous · Answer

I have failed in love,
And yes it feels like I am a failure in life.
I have achieved most of the things I imagined, a degree, a job but never got the one I loved, or love in general.
It's is a failure not because I tried , noo.
It's a failure because no matter how much I changed myself no matter how much I earned, no matter much better I looked compared to last year.
I am still getting rejected, going to be rejected.
I have given up on love and accepted defeat, but I still give it a try, just because I am able to say every single day that I gave it my all, and yet I am all alone, so that I can preserve my ego. And satisfaction of saying that love is not for everyone..
Soulmates are a myth.

choco-latte · Answer

No, a failed relationship is just a learning passage. Sometimes it’s needed to show you a different point of view or to become stronger, so you just have to take the positive out of any experience.

Anonymous · Answer

No, people who struggle or fail in romantic relationships are not failures at life. Life encompasses many different areas such as career, personal growth, creativity, friendship, and self-discovery and a challenge or ending in one specific area does not define a person's entire worth or existence

RachyRach · Answer

No. Love is complicated. It's nuanced and challenging. Just because it might not have worked out yet doesn't mean it won't work out in the future. And there are so many other parts of life to focus on and be successful in!

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Not at all. I am pretty successful. Failed my marriage. Found my second marriage and doing great.
has to do with how an individual respond to failure.
some very successful people are terrible with relationships.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

No your life can always change after a failure. That's how you learn and improve is from failures. Only thing you have to do is let go of the failure and move on.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Romance is only one aspect of life. A biggie for most people fer sure but not the only way to measure your life. And relax, you're 34, you haven't failed yet. You've just been collecting data.

SouthernBarbie6 · Answer

No, they're just failures at love, if they choose to see it that way. Life is so much more complicated than that and it's not everyone's only or, even main, purpose.

Iron_Man · Answer

No of course not some men just don’t know how to pick out the right woman, they pick out bad girls. The woman act real innocent at first, but has a closet full of skeletons that is finally released two years later by then things are horrible

Shiprex · Answer

No they are not. Failing at relationships is part of the process of socialisation. We all need to experience rejection and loss to make acceptance and winning more enjoyable.

NathanDavis · Answer

nope... failure and to fail, is actually a big part of success and also of "winning"

ericJackson · Answer

No, absolutely not. Failing at love or having romantic relationships end does not make someone a failure at life

Nikki1989 · Answer

jazzy34 · Answer

Of course not. One's success in life isn't determined by one's marital status. I'm sure you know some forever single people in your personal life.

Nope. The only time you are a failure is when you want something and stop trying.

I think it requires much more than that to consider someone a failure at life.
