Ive been in my fair share of bad relationships. And in those relationships I held on to a small belief that maybe things would work out sooner or later and everything would be ok. Well it didnt. Usually if things arent looking good in the mid half way of a relationship (where you should be getting to know someone already), things dont work out. What do you think? Can difficult relationships ever succeed in the end where both people are happy? Should we hold on to relationships that seem to be going nowhere just because we'd like them to?

Relationships can be hard at times, I have been married almost 9 years and we have our ups and downs. First thing you have to know if that is what the both of you really want to be together and if you are happy and can trust each other trust is a big part in a relationship! It can succeed if you have all those things I just mentioned. Well good luck and have a good day!

You're just half way, you don't know what's waiting for you at the end of the story. Taking rocky relationships positively will give good results. We can never have a perfect relationship. Sometimes, it is good to have problems to know your strengths, weaknesses and most especially, you will know more about your partner's personality. A happy relationship doesn't always mean a happy ending also. It is worth to wait and it is always worth to give another chance. If you don't try and risk, you won't know what will happen.

If two people are supposed to be together then they should work at the relationship and it will work. People give up too easily when they should work at it. Communication is extremely important in any relationship. Communication must be worked at for a relationship to work well.

It is all depends on yourself and your partner. If both of you give both a chance to have a good relationship, you will try to fix all those rocky and bad things that could ruin your relationship. If you feel that you are still not getting well after putting efforts to make it succeed think about it whether there is still ways to make up or is it shows that you are not meant for each other.Things will not be okay if we are not doing anything to change it.

It all depends on the people in the relationship. In some relationships everything could be going smooth and everyone gets along perfect, but its really not going anywhere and you are better being friends. In my experience I've had some ROCKY relationships that had their ups and downs, but it worked and we lasted for years. I think it all depends on the two people and what makes them happy. I think in the end you should just be happy and if you are not, then it is time to let the relationship go.

You just have to understand each other well to be together. That can only be be achieved through communication. We cannot live in peace if we fail to accept inevitable changes that come with different backgrounds. And if needs be, the very families that we invite for our engagements and wedding ceremonies, may be brought up on serious problems. But really, if things are only good for one part of this relationship, then one party is obviously deprived of contentment. Better let go.
