Why do people don't care when you love them and can't be without you if you don't care? And, in a relationship, how maintain the balance between those two things?

I would say yes there is such a thing and I think I have a successful relationship right now (so far anyway). No, we do not live together. But he and I enjoy the time we do get to spend together. There will be a week at a time that we don't get to see each other because of work (I work 7 days straight and then off 7 days straight), but only a couple of days into it we are missing each other. I personally think this makes us appreciate the time we do share more than we would if we could see each other every day. I must add that we do talk a couple of times every day though. The end of my day (I work nights) is the beginning of his and visa versa.

People are REALLY >>>weird<<< these days.
Many have idealogical IDEAS about things &
sometimes it takes a shake-up to make them wake-up!
The way to find the balance isn't going to be easy.
Spend time apart. Send him to run errands,etc.
Relationships take WORK by TWO,not just ONE.
Sit down in his/her favorite place to talk,and get things out in the open. Set goals. Set prioroties. Make things happen
for the better of the relationship.
Do things together,as well as apart. Appreciate each other
& compliment each other a lot. Notice the big AND little things.
If all else fails, get into some counselling sessions or seek a local course on Relationships.

Yes, there are successful relationships!!!
Every relationship needs a solid foundation if it's to survive all life can throw at it.
Unless you love yourself, it's hard for you to believe that anyone else will.
Self-esteem is important for a healthy relationship. When you truly like yourself, in spite of any failings and weaknesses you may have, you'll feel confident. And when you feel confident and secure within yourself, you can enjoy being with your partner for the joy they bring to your life, not because you feel you need them to survive.
Healthy relationships happen between two people who really like each other. It may be more romantic to talk about love, but it's important to remember that love is an emotion that comes and goes.
If you genuinely like each other, enjoy being together, agree with how each other thinks and behaves, and share the same dreams in life, then loving feelings will never be too far away.
It's important to tell your partner you like them, too. Warm words of encouragement and support build trust and respect. Add the odd compliment as well and you'll be helping to boost their self-esteem.
Good communication is essential for a healthy relationship. It's the only way you can tell your partner who you are, what you want and why you behave the way you do. Talking is the way we let each other into our private worlds.
Communicating better is about learning to say openly and honestly exactly what you think and feel. It also means listening to your partner without judgement.
People change over the years and it's these changes that can keep a relationship alive. Life changes too - and not always in ways that we want.
Change can provide opportunities for growth and intimacy, but it can also be painful. It may mean adjusting to a new way of thinking or a new way of life. It may also mean letting go of things that have been familiar and safe.
In successful relationships, couples learn to adapt and change together. They accept that change is an inevitable part of human life and support each other, for better for worse.

Yes but rare. Communication is the key. It is the same goals & values not what is too opposite or the same. You know it when you got it yet it may not be perfect. Communicate, keep it alive, have fun and be productive.

you need three things. trust, communication, and willingness to compromise. if you're missing any of these, the relationship will be in trouble.
