Tired of Having Failed Relationships? Make the Next One A Success
Tired of Having Failed Relationships? Make the Next One A Success
by Lorilee Buchannan
Many failed relationships don't have to be. People in relationships
just need to take the time at the beginning to define what they want.
Partners in relationships have different ideas for what they want
their relationship to be.
Many people find themselves in failed relationships because they are
not actively involved in the planning of their lives. Communication
which is hard for most people is required at the beginning of a
relationship. It can be intimidating and uneasy when starting a
relationship.
For most relationships, the ability to spend time enjoying each others
company makes up a huge percentage of what the relationship is about.
While this can provide a certain degree of excitement it can also
overshadow the need for meaningful communication.
It is so common in relationships for people to wait until there is a
problem to attempt to discuss the direction of the relationship. It
is only at this time that most will reveal what they had envisioned
for relationship. The vision for the relationship is often
over-shadowed by the initial euphoria.
Unfortunately most couples wait until they have invested a lot of time
and energy in a relationship before they realize that the relationship
is in trouble. This is when most people realize that their
expectations and ideas are not aligned.
It can be very devastating to suddenly find out that your dreams of
marriage, a family and a home with a white picket fence is not the
same as your partners dream to travel the world and live off of the
land.
No one knows how a relationship will progress or turn out and we all
hope for the best. Hoping for the best and doing nothing is not a good
strategy. The best strategy is to define the relationship on the on
set.
Defining the relationship early on will prevent a failed relationship
later. It will also spare you the pain of hurt and resentment.
Doing this exercise early on will lessen the likelihood that that both
people involved would get hurt.
Defining what is desired in a relationship should be an enjoyable
process. This is where each partner truly learn about the other
partner. It is also where they can see the areas that appeal to them
or the areas that need work.
Relationships fail for many reasons. Expressing your feelings and
expectations can help to create a successful relationship.
