5 Things You Might Be Doing to Sabotage Your Relationship

Im so tired of article after article after article saying how women should definately be more independent. Not all guys want independent women infact its probably half and half so stop throwing it out there that all guys want it cause thats total BS.

Thank god I don't have any of these problems but I've seen all of these situations happen and the all the relationships ended. You shouldn't have to change to be with the one you love and he/she shouldn't have to change either.

I agree. In my current relationship, I'm noticing a lot of #3 and #5. Though, it's more of #5 than anything. Most of our conversations consists something or another about our relationship. Exactly about the ins and outs and rough edges. My boyfriend loves to talk about us, but every now and then I get tired of it.

Hmm. Just broke up with my bf 2 days ago because of #5 and #2. He was guilty of #5 to the point that I had to request that we "change the subject". He became upset and decided rather than change it he would just ignore me for a few weeks. Which led to an argument that made me a shrew. I started nagging the heck out of him to determine why he was behaving in that manner and why he suddenly decided he didn't want to see me on a daily basis when it's all he's wanted for 9 months. It sucks, I hope we can work it out :(

I agree with all of these.. I believe for you significant other you should try to look your best and much as you can and try hard to keep whoever as long as its equal=) but I am guilty of number 5 sometimes... i tend to make sure everything is running smooth as possible=)

Picture her 20 years down the road and that will solve all of your problems. Stick and move, stick and move

I think if your partner gets fat it will ruin your relationship. No fat women!

leaving your man at home while you have a wild night out is no guarantee he is going to stay there like some dumb puppy waiting for you. this suggestion is a sure fire all time dumb relationship killer!!

i learn my mistakes for who i luv.....

NUMBER 4 LADIES!!

It seems funny that this article is directed mainly at the woman in the relationship. You have got to be kidding me. Yes, women tend to be the talkers, and men just clam up. I have tried it both ways. Me quiet or chatty. I bought gifts, tried the silk nightgowns, the dates out away from the kids. Nothing worked. He stuck around for my paycheck and that was it. I finally had it, and glad of it. Now you tell me that it's my fault? Okay, guess that I needed to wake up and discover I needed to turn into a mindreading, slightly distant from the scene woman.

#3 is nothing more than "Make your significant other jealous". Going out all dolled up leaves room for an increased chance of cheating. I understand the article has nothing to do with cheating but it does suggest actions which increase the chances. Here is a real test! Plant a decoy Find a good looking friend that your significant other hasn't met and send him in to hit on her(or him I guess). Classic, I've done this for a few friends....CAN YOU SAY BUSTED! This is the only true real test if your with a cheater!! It has to be a trusted friend though.

I don't know if i agree about #5.

My husband and I have a very close relationship and we love to talk about it. We always remind ourselves about why we got together in the first place.

apolojising up front for spelling and gramer the title catches everyone but the artical is from a womans view and the pic suports that but nothing is in here to suport a male side of the argument dont get me rong the articul is great ive been maried for 9 years a comon bond brought us together and an understanding that somethings are biger than an idividuality this artical adresses idividual fealings but what of the big picture in a sosiety of me me me how do you justify us this artical adresses the fact that a woman should learn to live with a man as a man i have leared to live with my wife copremise is everything and comunicating in a relationship is the most important factor in young relationships its me me me what can one give another for a long term relationship its what can i give the othe to recive what i want if both ideviduals respect this then u may have a working relationship rules are for fools step aside and place yourself in the others plase understand eachother

How come I never read about Internet porn as being a relationship breaker??
It almost ruined my marriage and I know of many women who have suffered a great deal because of their spouses/partners habit.

#5 is kinda of popping up in my relationship...Im in a long distance relationship and we've been together for a year and lately I have been having a hard time finding things to talk about with her and I feel like Im starting to bore her and Im not sure what to talk about any more...any one have any advice it would be greatly appreciated

I agree with this. Except the whole "getting glam for dates". My boyfriend of a year and a half actually doesn't care if I get "glam" or not. He tells me when I'm wearing no makeup, hair is crappy, and I'm wearing pajamas, that I'm the most beautiful woman in the world.

So..yeah..if you're with a guy that cares THAT much about your appearance..time to drop him.

I like steak.

Relationships are too much work I'm selfish and lazy so I'm better off being alone.

I miss my husband... He was wonderful... Perfectly wonderful... They just don't make them like that anymore... I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life than have to wade through any bs with the crowd that wanders aimlessly on this earth...f them...not my problem... They dug their hole, now climb in it and leave the nice people alone...
