what does a relationship take?

[Hanon435]

i haven't had many.

how much do you have to adjust for each other? how much time do you spend together? what things are different when you date or have a more serious relationship than when you are single?

I would say the main thing for a relationship would be trust. If you can't trust the person you are with, there is no relationship. I remember my boyfriend's sister had (well, HAS) a jealous husband and the first words out of my mouth were, "Well, you must have something on your mind then." His mom was flabbergasted when I said that. But most of the time, when your partner is jealous, it's NOT because they've "been hurt in the past" but it's because they're looking to cheat.

My boyfriend, for instance, has had lots of women break his heart. Is he jealous when I do stuff with my friends? Nope. Not even if I go out and hang with some guy friends. Because he trusts me and he knows I love him and would never cheat on him. And I trust him too. We've been together 4 years.

But to get back to the point, of the 1st paragraph ...I was proven right. The husband had several active dating sites and applied for his own apartment and was moving stuff in yet not wanting to move out of their $300,000 house. He wasn't cheating, but he was strongly wanting to.

Trust, excitement, sometimes simmilar interest sometimes not.


Differs each time.

For me, trust is the most important quality in a relationship as without it, there can't be a relationship.

I agree with alot of things said already...but I have to add honesty...just be honest.

so for me, Honesty, truth, communication, passion....

Finding just the right person: being honest/trustworthy, compatable, have a sense of humor, love and respect. But most importantly.........finding someone not already taken.

First a relationship takes both people that are going to be involved knowing that it isn't what you get from a relationship but what you are willing to give to one that can make or break it. A relationship is a give and take thing with one person usually giving more at any given moment. But one person can't be the only one giving most of the time.

Communication, communication, communication. It can't be said enough.

Honesty, so very important to any relationship that is going to last any length of time.

Trust, if you can't trust someone to not hurt you, then that is not the person for you. If you can't take someone at their word, then that is not the person for you.

I totally agree. This and communication.

And a mindset that you only want that one person and no one else. Trying to not have a wandering eye helps too. But just my opinion of course.
