are you skeptical of people when they claim their relationship is PERFECT???

Well first of all what is a perfect realtioship anyway? If you are never unhappy how do you know when you are truely happy? :-) I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect relationship.

I don't care who you are or what you say...everyone had problems. I think it is how you deal with them that either makes the relationship stronger or not. If you talk things through and genuinely love the person you can make it through the roughest times.

Wow what a discussion, lol--I agree all relationships take work, but if you had real bad relationships and you are in one now that is working and things are going good I would call that wonderful...I have been with my man 6 years now we bought a house, started a business together he has 3 children I have none, and I will tell you in the 6 years we have not had one arguement..now to me that is a wonderful relationship and I didn't have to work on it..my philosophy in life is no two people will ever totaly agree or everything and you have to let each person be who they are..love them for who they are not for what you want them to be..me I don't have to agree with everything he does I just love him cause he is capable of being who he is...and expect the same...This man has never cheated on me, lied to me, or hid things from me simple because I told him he could be who he is and don't nag at him./for who is he.

I find myself becomeing more skeptical as I get older. My partner and I both feel that trust and communication are key to our relationship and although we are very very happy, there are times when we have out problems and that is when we sit and talk them out.

I hate when people say there relationship is perfect. It usually means that they are keeping their resentments inside and that they will explode one day.

Yes, I've known people like that. It can be really annoying because obviously no relationship is 100% perfect 100% of the time. I actually have an ex-boyfriend who used to gush over how we were "perfect" and I absolutely hated it. I've asked my current boyfriend to try and refrain from using that word to describe us. I feel like it's almost a jinx or something to walk around saying that your relationship is perfect.

Noone has a perfect relationship.Every relationship takes work unfortunately. :)

My BF and I have a near perfect relationship. But we are always working to make it that way. We have talked now and then about things that got to us in past relationships and try to not repeat them. I think that the biggest thing is that we always recognize when there are external things that are causing stress and not let them get between us. By External I mean things like work, his divorce, and my slightly lost father, god bless him. Although these things affect us personally,, we don't let them have an effect on us as a couple. We have never had a fight, we always talk about things before they get to that. That way there isn't this big blow-up, with a list of things that the other wasn't expecting. They say that you live and learn and I guess we are trying to do that:)

Yes I have encountred people like this and it makes me wonder what are they really hiding? Maybe they are just perfectionists and don't want to show any imperfections in their life. hmmmmm....
