i always thought the purpose of a relationship goes well beyond the two people involved in one...

Is it your partner's job to make you happy or feel fulfilled?

I don't think it should be your partner's goal to "make" you happy, yet when relationships break down a lot of people seem to blame the other person for their lack of happiness.

So what do you think is the goal of a relationship? Is it to be happy? And is being unhappy a good enough reason for separation?




No, it is not your partner's job to do that.
I believe we are body, soul and spirit.
Each of these aspects requires a separate journey of the INDIVIDUAL to be fulfilled.
We however need companionship, physical intimacy and a sense of belonging, that is where our choice of a partner enters the equation.
The goal of a relationship is different for everybody....
Being continually unhappy in the relationship is definitely a reason for separation, but the relationship may not be the reason for a person's unhappiness.

Very nicely said..very nice :smile:

I really agree with this wholeheartedly. To many times people go into a relationship wanting the other person to make them happy or fulfill them, and undoubtedly they are disappointed.

Two people become as one.
Working together towards goals
Loving and trusting each other
Growing old together
Continue to study each other as people change
Supporting each other
Protection
Laughing, and joking
Journey through life together

These are just a few that come to mind

Purpose of a relationship? To curb loneliness and possibly make connections beneficial to both

For me going into a relationship is about thinking of the other person and yes what makes him happy and it should work both ways
You can't be selfish because it won't work
Taking into consideration what I have posted before
Don't the sun down on you anger

Happiness is an emotional state

like jealousy, sadness, or anger


funny as a kid I don't remember going around telling me mom it was her job to 'make me happy' but yet as adults we go around with this slightly askewed sense of entitlement at times

the only way to reach that state of euphoria each and every day would have to by way of a substance or being mentally delusional

life has it's ups and downs whether you are with someone or not

i mean it starts out with two people, but the end purpose involves and evolves these two people building a foundation for something more than just the two of them...

you don't go into a relationship just wanting what you want or wanting what the other person wants, right? there is a goal to it...a purpose for wanting to even begin a relationship in the first place...otherwise, why even enter one at all? friends and friends with benefits would suffice if that is the case...
