Long Term Relationships...

[Justinfirelake]

what is it you get/expect from a longterm relationship - whether it is marriage or living together....

What is it that you 'get' from a relationship - and how?

What do you 'give'

How much time do you spend together?

What is quality time? and how do you spend it?

What's the point of dating when you know one of you is going to break up sometime during relationship?

To me there is no such thing as a long term relationship. Never had one and I doubt that anyone would be able to stand me for long enough to have one. Therefore I expect nothing.

dating is just like trying on clothes in a sense. you're getting to know different people and their different personalities. if you never try out an article of clothing, you're never know how it looks and feels. dating is the same because unless you actually get into a relationship, you're not going to know what to expect. i guess it's just a part of growing up. like how heartaches always come with life itself. raverboy

I've notice in other forums that in long term relationship usually couple years into the relationship one of them will dump another because they suddenly stop loving them if you don't love partner why be with them in the first place?

well love doesn't suddenly stop. after being with someone for a long time, people tend to grow apart and they yearn for a new love. either that, or they feel that the love has faded. well whatever the reason may be, they date because they were once in love. love is something so simple these days is that it can be disposed of so easliy because everyone is looking for new relationships and adventure. damn boy, you've got a lot to learn about this game if you're going to survive. raverboy

Long term relationship never works for me.

[Justinfirelake]

It's mostly the gals who dumped the guys.

not necessarily. it works both ways, it just depends on the people who are in the relaionship. raverboy
