Do you think breakups happen mostly because of outside sources?

Question

Like, for example, a friend, or family members try to make you guys break up, or don't support the relationship?

Answer 1

Often they can, but a relationship that is ment to be will get back together in the future.

It is worse when people stay in a relationship because of outside forces, which happens all the time too.

Answer 2

No, I think most relationship problems are due to selfishness. On either part. If you're comitted to your relationship, then you're not really going to worry too much about non-supportive friends or family members. You'll put your significant other first, and if they don't like it, then that's too bad. I'm not saying it doesn't happen that way, where someone is just determined to make your lives together absolutely miserable, and will do anything to split 2 people apart, but that's rare. It happens, just not all that often.

Answer 3

It might be a contributing factor to strife in the relationship but if the two individuals have open communication, are supportive of each other, and stay strong, they can overcome even the worst of critics and/or non-supportive. One of the main keys to a relationship staying strong through tough times, is the ability to be each others best friends, confidants and to always back each other up in front of others, even if they do not 100% agree in private, showing a united front in the face of the adversity goes a long way.

Answer 4

No, breakups happen because of poorly formed relationships.

Successful relationships require a solid foundation. People are in too much of a hurry to get laid and they ruin their chances of building something special. If it's love, it won't be influenced by outside sources.

Answer 5

Family usually does play a major role but that's mostly because they're a part of you and always will be. No one likes to admit this (especially me!) but if your family doesn't like them or if their family doesn't like you, it basically makes it impossible for you two to be together because family issues always come up (I don't want to go there because your mom hates me, why does your dad always say inappropriate things, your sister always regifts my Christmas present so I'm leaving if she comes over, etc) That being said, other than family issues, relationships usually breakup because the two people involved just weren't involved. No big, there will be another one! :)

Answer 6

i think a lot of times a person might break up with you just because the are being fed information that isn't true by one of their friends that don't like you so yes, id say most of the time relationships end for me through outside resources.

Answer 7

What breaks the relationship is YOU doubting it. Your friend, family, and other sources are just your back up to pull you down farther or rise you up greater.

Answer 8

Only if those INSIDE the relationship allow outsde people/problems to influence them. You need to remember in the end that YOU are the one capable of making or breaking your OWN relationship..

Answer 9

just because someone may want you to breakup doesn't mean you have to, a couple should breakup for a good reason, like if one is cheating.it's your choice who you wanna go out with and that should be ok with your family and you should support someone else's realationship even if you don't agree, do to them what you want in return.

Answer 10

Absolutely, but just not with friends or family members.
Some times co-workers can drive a wedge in a relationship as well.
