Donate Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 you can have two people in a perfect relationship and sooner or later one or both will screw it up.
Author Donate Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Of course it goes without say there is no such thing as 100% I had hoped people would not get stuck on semantics, but this is an internet message board so I guess its inevitable
carhill Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 you can have two people in a perfect relationship and sooner or later one or both will screw it up. Life, and people, is/are constantly changing.
No Limit Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 No, when both people realize they have something good going on and its really, truly important to them, none will muck it up. If your partner cheats you at least know what you mean to them and move on to find a better partner.
PegNosePete Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I had hoped people would not get stuck on semantics Semantics of what? You made one, generalized claim, that every single relationship will be screwed up by one of the parties. That's quite obviously false, based on the large number of successful long term relationships out there. It's not "semantics" to disagree with you. It's discussion. If you just wanted to rant then there's a special forum for that, a couple of floors down. Edited March 20, 2015 by PegNosePete
blackcat777 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Life is always changing, people are fallible, nothing is ideal. Occasionally the world also chooses to eat people and spit them out half-chewed and alive (circumstances beyond a person's control). It's something special when two people keep love alive in spite of all that. I think that's as close to perfect as it gets. Also, some people need to make mistakes to learn. That's life.

Did you just watch the intro to Casino on AMC and then turn off your television? Casino intro starts at 0:51 Without URL: "When you love someone, you've gotta trust them, there's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? But for awhile, I believed, that's the kind of love I had." - From Casino
Quiet Storm Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Most of the time it's because of a person's individual issues and not the dynamic of the couple. Many people have unresolved issues that aren't apparent right away. These people will be great partners when everything is going fine. The test is when life gets difficult- that's when people show their true colors and often it is not pretty. 1
SolG Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Well, the average woman will have seven relationships (two of them long-term) before she marries. Then approximately fifty per cent of those marriages fail. I'm too lazy to do the specific math right now... But the reality is that statistically, most relationships will fail. In fact, ALL of yours and mine and everyone else's will fail... Until one doesn't. Why do people screw up a 'good' thing? It's just part of the journey to something gooderer (there's no such thing as perfect). Edited March 20, 2015 by SolG 1

writergal Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 you can have two people in a perfect relationship and sooner or later one or both will screw it up. There's no such thing as a 'perfect relationship.' People break up when they are no longer compatible. 1
Ninjainpajamas Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It's part of inexperience and growing up. Things are idealized rather than actually perfect. People also tend to cause most of their own misery by choosing things they know will not make them completely happy. 2
