can rumors and gossip effect a relationship even if both parties know they aren't real. Example if the guy in the relationship is the kind that thinks hes a playa and a pimp, can the rumor of his girlfriend cheating, even if not true break them up. And on the other hand would a person stay with a girl if he knows she cheated but he thinks hes to fat to find somebody else.

A rule of thumb is don't listen to gossip, don't believe gossip, and don't spread gossip.

It's a great test on a relationship, for sure! From a positive view, if both of you can overcome the rumors and all the trash talking from other people, you'll come out better from it. You'll develop a closer, more trusting relationship. Gossip and rumors are perpetuated by immature busy-bodies who have nothing better to do but to harm other people.

Lord, the drama! The couple would have to be very secure in their relationship for gossip not to affect them. However, you sound pretty young, so I'm thinking it will probably have a serious effect.
And yes, low self esteem will make people stay with their partners, even if the partners did bad things. Don't you watch Oprah?

This depends on maturity. If you are both young, you will immediately believe the rumors and gossip. Matured people takes a while, investigate before they believe.
Yes, I know gossips and rumors have broken up relationships.

It really depends on the people in the situation; however, for the most part yes, rumors (even if not true) do break people up. And also yes to the 2nd ? as well...

Rumors can mislead people and the story will change from person to person so gossip is something you must avoid...

rumors and gossip will effect you if you let it. I think that goes for every situation.

if the guy listens to the rumour, knows it's not true but doesn't want to admit he was wrong then yeah it would

It depends on the specific people.
Your question is too general.
