I am wondering why I always get failed in a relationship. My first boyfriend, our relationship last until 3 years. Then he found another gf and so we broke up. And then my second bf our relationship last until 1 year then he broke me up also because he said he found a new gf too. And then up to now, I am still single and waiting for the right man to come. In my previous relationship, I think I did my best. I always give my best attention, love, understanding in every relationship I had. But still, I end up being alone. Do you think there's something wrong with me that's why I always get failed in a relationship?

I think it evens out in my case
had many long distance ones, maybe 1 or 2 real life
none of them worked aside from one and I married him for over 10 yrs now
Only you know what is wrong with you
All I can say is if you consider it failure, then treat it like a failure
learn from it, move on and try again when you're ready
like failing a test or exam, you just have to re-read the material and try again
sometimes it takes a few or more tries before you pass
that's how relationship is

There are no perfect relationships. There is no such thing! At some point in time, couples do fight. As time passes by, couples do feel burned out or sick of each other. But keeping your relationship stronger and longer would depend on you. It's up to you two really if you want to work it out. If one of you gives up, then maybe it's not really meant to be. But if your love is strong enough, then it'll conquer all, even the biggest fight you've ever had. You're not a failure in relationships. You just haven't found the right one yet. Don't worry, the one for you will come. Let God write the greatest love story for you. :)

Don't worry,even marriages for 20 years broke up.
In every relationship,women always give their best and even forget theirselves just to satisfy their partner and at the end of the day when man/guy found a new girl,they will leave their recent partner/wife.
So,next time ,make sure to leave a little bit for yourself and never give it all,so once he broke with you again...you have something to tell yourself,and be proud of.
We learn for each failure...be smart and don't blame yourself.

i am in a relationship. an unconventional one... i love my partner but i am now having doubts if our relationship is the right path for me. the love is definitely there but i cant see myself with him 5 years from now.
i doubt that you'll end up alone. there are over 6 billion people in this world. one is bound to stay with you forever

Personally, I have had disappointments in my relationship with people. I do not mean boyfriend or girlfriend sort of things. I am talking about relationship with my collegue in the office. There are times they do something bad which put me off and I feel very sad. But there are times I enjoy working with them. I like my boss he is just a caring and understanding person.

Don't worry dear. Since you said that you gave everything you could to the past relationships it wasn't your fault. It was their loss that they lost someone worthy like you!! Anyway don't worry. I'm sure the perfect guy for you is out there and looking for you. They say everyone has a match out there, we just need time to meet. SO have patience and I hope you meet someone soon!!

the same thing happened to me:(. and I act the same as you said you do when you're involved in a relationship. anyway it's not only your fault it's both individual's fault if a relationship ends ( at leats from my point of view). think about it like this: maybe you were two different and you weren't meant o be together. you should stay the way you are. I'm sure you'll find someone to appreciate you like this

believe me, i have heard of worst situations that this one that you have discussed.
how old are you, anyway?
i know of someone who gets depressed from time to time because she doesn't have a bf (she's nearing 30 and she's afraid that she will not find someone to share her life with)
anyway, you might want to access your previous relationships. get a pen and paper and write your ex-bfs names and the reason why you think the relationship didn't last. there must be something out there, or some unknown reasons/attributes that you have to uncover to answer your own question.
hope that helps
