how little things may cause a broken heart...

I know what you mean. I am very upset right now because of how my kids treated me this morning all because something started early in the morning. I am also upset with my mother right now because she got her feelings hurt over something that had nothing to do with her. I will not go in to detail but people's feeling can be very fragile. You are right about that indeed.

yes i agree with you. some couples are like soo in love and so happy and then break up bcs of a misunderstanding. and yes raise voice also. bcs sometimes you argue and if someone talks too bad can hurt the other person. anyway i guess that the most usual reason for break up is cheating :( or if you fall for someone else and break up. i think that these are the most known reasons also. but the reasons you said is true also. we should not let misunderstandings end with a good relation and we should fight to stick together with that person^^ and always solve problems together^^ this will avoid a break up^^ and arguements sometimes make the relationship stronger and the couple loves each other more than before^^

I agree. I know a lot of couples who break up because of little things and misunderstandings. Like two of my friends who have been dating for more than a year. They were fine together until one day, they fought over where they would spend their vacation. The boy wanted to go somewhere out of town but my girl friend wanted to just hang out at the beach. Then they started arguing and their voices grew louder and louder until the girl could not take it anymore and she walked out of the fight. Good thing they were able to patch things up but still, even a little issue can ruin a relationship. At least both of them were mature enough to fix things and not let a little fight ruin their relationship.

Ido not know he you got that statistic. That 90% of misunderstandings are due to the tone of voice rather than what is said. I am inclined to believe it to be true. You mean this idea is applicable to the sensitive people and not the realists?

Hi bokal, Actually, I've known so many relationship that didn't last long for a simple reason of incompatibility. For me, if you care for someone, you will find time to understand or study the situation. It probably just a sudden burst out of emotion. Sometimes, we're not in the mood to accept even so simple joke, but there were also times that we used to exchanged jokes which is more unacceptable, but didn't offend anybody. Especially in a relationship, if we heard something we could not tolerate, maybe we can let the emotion passed and buy time to analyze things for a better end result. Have a nice day.

Every person is made different and so sometimes we don't actually understand why does this and those happen ,why is he/she doing like that and this.. other people were so conscious and conservative ,other also aren't.. I myself is sensitive when it talks about feelings...I am easily hurt with just a single word and may cry at times... others don't understand me sometimes...and it so happen to everybody right? in conclusion to this ,I wanna say everyone is unique...^_^

I do agree that difference in opinion will cause conflicts. no one will ever learn to admit that his opinion is wrong. Anyways, for me, there's is no right nor wrong when it comes to opinion so I'd rather ignore if the other person insists his opinion to be right than creating further argument. But, that does not mean, i do agree. Regarding to the tone, that depends. If I Know the person too well, I can ignore or be really sensitive with the way he/she is talking to me. My Mom often speaks in a harsh tone but she isn't angry or something. It is just normal to her. We don't mind her but others make a big deal out of what she says. Sometimes, we really have to be very careful with the words we use. A slight mistake can make a difference and can send a wrong signal to the receiver of the message.My husband told his girlfriends about me and they took it negatively, against me...It made me the bit*h in their eyes...

hi bokal2703, In my point of view, a couple should be frank or open to each other so that if there are some flouses in the relationship, they can talk about it, so that they know how to adjust together in their relationship, if they wants to last for a long time. :) I think communication is still the best way to last a relationship so that both can adjustments, so as well they won't end up a broken heart in the end :)

most of the time it is because people are so busy with life, work, children, finances, worry, that people become pre occupied that they say things they dont mean. each person have thier own occupied thoughts so there is lots of room for misunderstandings. it is the misunderstandings that cause break ups and hurt feelings.

Yes it is true, simple or small things can cause misunderstanding to your love ones that can result of a broken heart. That is why we should be sensitive to the feelings of our love.
