How much patience you will give to your partner to make relationship last?

In any relationship our patieces are tested. There is no simple answer here. It's all up to the individual and the relationship itself. Love has no boundaries. Love is supposed to be unconditional with no thoughts of oneself and always trying to put the other person first. Sometimes it's best to grit your teeth take the situation and run wiht it. Just love like you want to be loved and all should follow.

I am a very patient person and I think I have a very big heart to accept the mistakes. But even the patience has its limit and maybe now I have reached the edge of the limit so I became the most impatient girl in the world. I think, it is not our patience which would make the relationship last, but also the effort of the other party. I think it is not fair if we should be the only one who try to repress our felling down by being patient all the time. As I said before, even patience has its limitation and I think it is very humane if someone actually reached the limit if the other party never changed.

I am very patient in a relationship. Since I don't have a partner I don't say anything less or more here. This is not the right time to say what I have in mind because I don't have partner. But to be intact in a relationship two people must be very understand each other and not forget to have a communication continuously to prevent each other to be misunderstood...Have a nice day!

I think that everyone needs to give 100% in a relationship to make it work. If you are just dating this person, then get out if they aren't willing to put in 100%. If you are married, then discuss it and try to make things better. Marriage is forever and needs to be worked out. People always try to take the easy way out with divorce. You loved one another enough toget married, you love one another to work it out.

Hi Amyson, I give my 101% patience to my husband. we seldom fight..for some misunderstanding but no nagging... just a silent and cold treatment. after a while things are back to normal. we don't have much time to waste just for petty things and misunderstanding. making up is the best thing i want after a misunderstanding...it will be full of surprises!

Well, Liz and I have been together for 22 years this past 11/27 so there's been quite a lot of patience running both ways..Enjoy!

I am willing to give a lot of ground on some things, but zero on others. For instance, I would never put up with physical or verbal abuse of any kind, but usually we went where he wanted to go and ate what he wanted to eat. Fortunately, we agreed on things like the temperature of the room and no smoking and other important things that could otherwise have been grounds for misunderstanding. Usually it was easier to give in than putting up with the sulking. But in one instance where I did not give up, I wanted to go on a particular trip somewhere that he did not want to go, and I just felt very strongly that it was my right to be able to go with or without him, so I told him fine, you don't want to go, I'll go by myself. At the last minute, he tagged along, of course, and in fact, he even packed bag lunches for both of us and surprised me with the food after we were across the border into a different country. It was a ten day trip and he did grumble most of the way there, but when we got to our destination it was nicer than either of us had anticipated, and we both had a wonderful time. That was early in our marriage, and I learned then that I would have to assert myself from time to time for the good of us both, and that doing so was OK. So sometimes, I say that patience is a good thing, but one must not be too passive, or life will simply pass us by. Anything worth having is worth taking a risk, so in a relationship nobody should have to "make up" with the partner to please him or her. We should get to be ourselves, and if we disagree, we should be able to deal with it as adults. Sometimes, though, that involves risk, and takes a lot of courage.

Hey amyson! I love your avatar! It is so cool to watch! I was watching it for awhile and almost forgot to respond to the discussion! If you really care about your partner and truly want to make your relationship work, then you will give it all that you can no matter how many times you have to try! I know that my boyfriend and I have come to the "end" of our relationship quite a few times, but still decided that it was worth working on our relationship instead of giving up and walking away! We do love each other even though we might not agree about everything and we still have things that we need to work on and we will try as long as we can! I don't know if we will make it or not, but I do know it won't be because of lack of trying!

hi armyson, we have to take of our partners means spouse or other parter of the life,some misunderstanding will be there,but we have to come forward and convince the thing to other and make impressive them and turned towards you,that is better,do understand the things and act accordingly,have a nice day

I am very patience most of the times that i could easily forgive and forget. But their is an exception when all of my patience have already been abuse it is then i would explode, it is only normal if i keep forgetting and forgiving then the person is not deserving eventually i could no longer keep up with him and I think to better alone than to stay in an abusive relationship.

Hiya amyson, Not too much patience a good argument is really a must sometimes but only on a verbal level you know one of those spur of the moment arguments that don´t last like a storm in a teacup. I really have a lot of patience but has it´s limits like everything else.

as long as he is sincere i am open for forgiveness as a mark of my love. but he is a fool then i may decide to dump him rather than make a big fuss around him.

Hi Amyson, With reference to your question, as for me, there is no quantitative amount should be given. The patience should be unending, immmeasureable and everlasting. Maybe there are some instance that you feel like you want to quit with your partner. But, to think it deeply, that is not the real feeling, its just, you want to pause for a while. Have some break to think peacefully the proper approach to talk again towards your partner. So as in the next step, you can patch-up the neglected moment that you had an argument.

i do not like to measure my relationship in case one fail so i would avoid a lot of disappointment in the process. it is either give and take relationship based on trust and respect. whether it is 100 to 50%, i do not give value to number but rather to the quality spend together.

Yes, I feel that is is very important to have patience with my partner. I always like to give what I want back in return, and I would hate my partner to be impatient with me. We often sit down and talk disagreements through when we have them. The result may not suit the both of us, but we can compromise and recognize that we can't always have want we want.. - Derek

So far, about 30 years worth of patience....

Both patience and mutual understanding are very important in a relationship. I think that you need to have a great deal of patience to be in a lasting relationship, but I don't think that you should ever have to have endless patience for your partner. The last several months have been the most trying months of my relationship with my husband because he has been dealing with medical issues, but he also knows that I won't listen to him complain all the time because that is too much trial to my patience.

Every person must have enough patience in establishing a permanent relationship with the partner. First, we've to know your partner thoroughly as to what type of person he/she is. Then prepare ourselves to act accordingly. If the partner tends to go astray, we've to caution him/her with much patient to bring him/her to the right path. This makes the life worthy of living. Good luck!

I am a very patient person, but in a relationship i think the effort should come from both parties. I believe that for a relationship to last, problems and issues should be discussed and resolved immediately. Relationship is a two-way traffic.

in my opinion.. what ever the reason maybe for the quarrel with the partner.. either i will convince her or i will get convinced.. but no way i will end up leaving her.. my patience level will be the same through which my relationship doesn't break.. its not to leave her and search for someone else we get committed.. while getting married, everyone will pledge that he/she will be with u till the end.. but because of few reasons there may be quarrels but a real human should overcome that trouble but not the person
