Do relationships, I mean between a man and a woman, really work? Do people just have to keep trying and keep pretending that they work? Do they force it upon themselves?

All I wanna know is, can there really be relationship which is truly genuine, in every way?

The truly genuine relationships even have problems at some point. Nothing in life is 100 %. I think its a matter of whether the people involved want to work threw those problems and make them stronger or just say that they can't do it.

Yes, relationships work if both sides are truly committed -- otherwise, it doesn't. We don't see a lot working, and the two sides end up breaking up but there are reasons, whether the guy or the girl did something wrong -- e.g cheating, etc. Or the circumstances, like one got to move to another country forever, or something, that way they got nothing to do but break up.

So it depends on two main reasons:

1. Circumstances.

2. Commitment between the two.



If they are both going their ways -- then they will build a healthy relationship that has a nice future [engagement/marriage] then kids and so on.



Let's just hope for the best

Absolutely, this is possible. The key is being prepared to compromise and not always having to have it your own way. If the man and woman respect each other and treat each other equally there is no problem. The biggest problems arise when the relationship is not in balance.

Love can overcome almost anything . When you truly find that special someone then you may hopefully feel the way I do . A good relationship requires hard work and compromise .

I feel that mine is with my b/f. I have been with him for like 3yrs and still everyday it feels like we are getting closer even though you would say we are close enough.

He is always there for me and I am same for him. We dont cheat and we dont keep secrets from each other. Now a days where can you find that anymore? Its hard to find someone like that anymore. You want it you just have to keep looking. I am glad I found mine and not a fake that has to play as a player I want the real deal person and not someone carrying a pack of bullsh*t on there backs. So yes if you search you will find the real deal relationship out there.

They can only work well if BOTH husband/wife put 100% into keeping the marriage going and strong. Marriage (and relationships) take work - every day.



If you are only putting in 50% - then what are you doing with the other 50% of your efforts?

It's easier to have one that works when you don't involve sex with it. You learn who the person is and what their goals are their dreams are and how they want to live their lives. As soon as you have put sex into the relationship the personal relationship ceases and you build it as a sexual relationship. Those who have sex in the first couple of dates are most likely to be a failure because of that reason, it has been sexual.

Yes, it does work.

Sometimes it can develop into something else, specially if you are similar in taste, age, you like each other physically, etc.

Otherwise, there is no problem at all, you can be friend to a girl that does not attract you physically and share your same values.

yes, you CAN'T make a relationship work.

it just does because their is enough love between the two.

Genuine relationships are very hard to find, but when you find out, it'll be the best relationship you will ever have.

yes, relations between a man and a women can be 100% genuine.



but that doesn't mean it will last forever.



and relationships between 2 males and 1 female or vice versa can also be just as genuine.



but a genuine, loving, and passionate relationship doesn't have to last forever.

No relationship is 100% perfect. People have their respective faults therefore, no relationship can be perfect.

Yes, I know my wife loves me and she knows I love her. If you have to pretend, well that's not going to work after awhile. im sure one of you will get sick of it. To answer your question Yes they do really work, if your mature about it.

If you can learn to be unselfish, yes they work. If you are in the marriage for yourself solely, it will fail.

men and women relationships rarely work unless you have a man that resigns himself to being hen pecked and give in to his wife's every whim and treat her in luxury, never answer her back, tell her lies , like she looks pretty when she doesn't anymore....if he has affair make sure she doesn't know. Other than that they end in divorce. If you want a laid back life , live with another guy, you undestand each other better and you can fish together like in brokeback mountain.
