For mylotters, both men and women, what would make you feel disappointed with your girlfriend/wife or Husband/BF?
I meant, you are together, and then you suddenly realize that the GF you knew was someone who is not quite what you think she is, you suddenly discovered she loves to hate, and always talks badly about people..., etc
For the ladies, for example you thought your bf is hardworking, then you would realize when you are talking to him or would ask him what he is doing he would say he's going to sleep or is tired(knowing he did nothing in the firstplace... )
please share?!

sometimes the very thing that attracts us to our mate is the very thing that also ends up disappointing us....for instance, if we are attracted to a big strong guy, he might also turn out to be a bit of a bully, using his strength in a bad way.

One thing that would disappoint me in my relationship would be if my other half would not understand what I was going through. I would hate it if they came home and spoiled the happy mood cribbing about how work was or how the shoes are lying in the wrong place.
I seriously hate cribbing because I hate being told what to do. I am a grown up adult and I expect that they know that if I do something there is some pre thought attached to it.

Sweetie, no matter how long you have been together, no one on this planet will ever really know or understand their partner.
People change daily, literally.
It is a disappointment to realize that the one you love and care for is not really what they always seem to be.
So we either accept it,, try to understand it and live with it or we leave them.
That is life, unfortunately.
No one can or ever will be perfect.

the only thing that disappoints me in my relationship is that we both don't get to spend some quality time together without any worries.i get annoyed when my husband doesn't give time to me.
he is busy in his job most of the time getting some free time only at night after 8 and if doesn't give me time after that.i feel too bad and depressed.

TRUST is very important in a relationship. And as you said, if I will get to know that a GF doesn't know how to respect her BF or how to talk with him, then that's very disappointing. It really feels very bad and would think that I did wrong by making her as a GF. Did the worst thing in my life. If this would happened with me then I would really have a break up with her. I just hate girls who doesn't know how to talk to the people and respect them.

when i am promised of something or even tell me that he's going to do this and that but he forgets. it's ok if its minimal but if he does it almost all the time, it makes me sad and withdraw.
i feel you. i used to go out with some guy. he was really great, he talks to me everyday when we were just starting, pleases me almost all the time but for the most part he changed. maybe because i changed first hehehe.. things were complicated between us since we started goin out but we managed but maybe he can't keep up so i kinda stop makin him feel that its goin to work out. he's still around but a lot of changes though. we dont talk that much anymore, kinda sad but people change you know..
right now, we're more like "hey, im here if you need me. bye for now." better that way..

Well in my case i dont get disapointed with my boyfriend but i go get with me. We are both very open and we made a deal since we began that we wouldnt hide anything from each other. Therefore we know each other quite well and we already found out how to deal with each other in certain situations but sometimes i get disapointed with myself for being a little bit too much of me. I can see when i hurt him, even if by accident and then i feel awful about myself.

Pretty much everything. The best relationships in my life, are the ones I didn't have.
Men are stupid, boring, and repetitive. Women are bossy, controlling, demanding, and never satisfied.
I'd rather not be around either one. The best times in my life, are when I can sit at home, relax, and do as I please without someone bothering me.

Hello chiyosan,
Respect and faith are the two things which can upset a relationship in my opinion.
I would always like to respect my partner for her beliefs and expect my partner to do the same.
Undoubtedly faith is basic thing which can make or break relationship.

In a relationship, the greatest disappointment that there could be is when one realizes and sees a different person in his or her loved one. He or she could feel cheated because by the time that they were just in a relationship, everything is great and romantic but when marriage vows have been pursued, the reality can all be seen. They all say that when one marries, he or she sees the real characteristics and traits of the person he or she loves and it's the time when true colors are finally revealed. That for me is the biggest disappointment in a relationship.
Have a great day chiyosan!

If my relationship partner expresses the love or feeling for another person, especially someone who is related or close to me, I would get super jealous!

I dont think such things should disappoint anyone. When you love someone, it is not for any particular quality of his/hers. Atleast for me it goes this way.
And even if any such thing is making upset very strongly, then you should directly speak to your partner. Either you should learn to let go, because you love him/her alot. Or either he/she should change for you. Finally that is what relationship is all about. You have to make compromises somewhere. Nobody is perfect, not even us.

What disappoints me in the relationship is how the person you love changes. In the beginning of the relationship, guys try to be very gentlemen. trying to be so good, pleasing their woman. But as the day goes by, they change. Maybe they become so comfortable that their attitude change. I also hate it when they lie, even for simple things. I want my partner to be honest with me, regarding everything, be it a small or big issues.

oh that is so true, but i already figured this out. sometimes people - girls and guys put the best foot forward at the beginning of the relationship... and when you got to know each other already... that is when you would feel that you or he has relaxed thus showing signs of what he or she truly is...

I will really feel disappointed if I discover him lying or breaking promises every now and then. I don't think a relationship will work out if one is hiding something from the other. It is better to show the real you, your good and bad traits, so that the other won't expect something good from you.

Hi Friend,
My BF today was my BF before that was college days. And we're now on our 2 yrs relationship.
He use to white lie everytime he knows that he can hurt me on some issues. And sorry for him that I always have a good sense in detecting his lies.
Liars go to hell...hahaha!!! Im not that mad now but whenever I remember the moments he does that. I want to spank him.
That is why I dont trust him that much..
Sorry to say but that is what I feel eventhough I know that were still with each other.

the intention was good, he does not want to hurt you but knowing that they lied to us would ultimately be hurtful too, right?! i mean, that is what has happened to me too... but i guess you should talk to him and tell him not to sugarcoat things between you both because you losing trust on him is not a good thing... even if you are together, you should be able to trust him completely, right?

that is true, it is really painful to know that someone is lying to you. it makes you think, wonder and worry why they ahve to lie to you and what their intentions are.. it is more of devastating if you have trusted the person with everything that you can...

it disappoints me when my boyfriend pays more attention to facebook than me. LOL! He visits my house, that should be the time for us to spend together. instead of talking to me, he borrows the PC or use his smartphone to check on other people on facebook. i understand he is doing it for business but most of the time he just checks on other people.
he could always do this at another time. it peeves me that instead of spending that time with me. it upsets me more since we don't have that much time to spend with each other anymore. i think it's odd to be interested in other people's lives. i can't relate to this. add that to the fact that i don't like facebook, because of what people do in that website.

I have the same sentiments as you. It is really disappointing when your partner does not give you much attention or when he is not making an effort in seeing you or spending time with you when you know he will do nothing at home and he could have made plans to see you! =(

what disappoints me is when you have to pretend to be okay in front of your partners family even if you're not...that you have to be very careful in every word or opinion that you have to say..because let's face it..when you get married you are not only marrying that man but you are marrying his life...his family, his friends, even sometimes his enemies..though some couples deny this fact...but it can never be erase in their lives..specially for us Filipinos..our culture is very different..it disappoints me when sometimes..family forgot that their son or siblings are married already..and have a another life..that sometimes as a wife and a woman chooses to be silent and absorb things that i don't like just to have a smooth family relation...its very disappointing but understandable when you see your partner torn between being a son and a partner..as a wife it's very hurtful sometimes to understand things even if you don't understand...disappointed to the fact that in marriage life many compromise thinking is needed in order to have a good relationship with your partner...what matter most at the end of the day you still sleeping beside the man you love...
