Topic: It doesn't work. | |

Relationship advice frequently fails for the same reason that a lot of relationships fail - they are all different.
Truly, it is our expectations which hollow out new moments to contrast their guts with what we've known, whether what we've known is better or worse. Expectations strip the magic out of life as if rarity is something juvenile and premature and worthy of ridicule. And I think it's boring. Or maybe I'm just being hypocritical. |

I see this disconnection in profiles all the time. Everyone writes "I'm the most unique person you'll ever meet!" and then they proceed to write the exact same seven sentences that are in everyone else's profile. True rarity would be something precious. |

Ever notice that all those 'unique' and 'non-conformist' types all seem to dress alike ... ?

Relationships fail because most have no clue what they want, they fall back into the same type of relationships out of habit and very few are truly 100% accepting of those they 'say' they love.
of course this is just my observation and opinion |

Expectations is a killer.
People expect others to act the way they think they will act....a big let down is waiting for them. I am very guilty of having high expectations of others. It had hurt me in the past and will hurt me in the future. How can one break out of this cycle?? |

speaking for myself, relationships dont "fail", they just end..sometimes badly...there comes a time when you realize you have gone as far as you are going to get with that other "special" person..who the hell said it has to be FOREVER..and why do we beleive in all that crap anyways...??

Maybe some do fail. Like when you get back together with somebody. Isn't that the same as failing a grade in school and having to take it over?

“…he began to believe that people could in fact be used up -could use each other up, could be of no further help to each other and maybe even do harm to each other. He began to think that who you are when you’re with somebody may matter more than whether you love her.”

Word. double word... Endings are not failures..they are another opportunity for growth (if we allow it) and more experience. I hope I get to 'love' a million more times. |
