Do you think that the longer the relationship; do you think it would be easier or harder to stay together?

Answer 1

My suggestion is for you to read these books. You can check them out at your local library as well. If they don't have them; they can probably get them.

Answer 2

No. If two people have been in a relationship that has lasted for many years does not indicate that they have always been happy. For some couples, it is easier to stay together and tolerate those things in their lives that do not make them happy than it is to leave it behind. Unfamiliar territory makes them uneasy. At least in their current relationship, they know what to expect and for some, have learned to compensate the shortcomings by creating more positive points. My opinion is this. Relationships that allow both parties to find happiness and value with one another will survive most anything. Open communication and honesty are major ingredients to a happy relationship. Couples who have been together for some time but have lost interest should either search for what they lost or get creative and build on an addition. If there is real and genuine love, relationships make us as humans feel fulfilled and worthy. If there was once love but due to whatever circumstances have lost the love, don't continue through life being unhappy. Either face up to it and discuss it if there is a real want to recapture it, or move on.

Answer 3

I would say the longer the relationship the harder it would be to break it off, we get comfortable with one another and sometimes, if the situation is bad, it makes it harder to break away, because it was good at one point in time. If you are happy stay, if the bad times start over whelming the good times, try to make a plan to leave. Have a plan and stick to it!! Use your family and friends for support, remember they are always constant!! Good Luck!!

Answer 4

I can't honestly choose between the 2. ive been with my husband for 2 1/2 yrs and it just seems really hard sometimes cuz i find out stuff that i never knew b4 about him and might have changed my decision of pushing it all the way thru life with him. however the longer we have been together the more open we have become and comfortable and loving. so i think its just at times its harder than others.

Answer 5

It depends on the depth of your feelings for the person. In my experience the amount of time spent with the person has in no way any significance to how i suffer when it ends. If anything the longer it goes on the more relieved you are when it ends as you come to realise the person or the relationship is not going to change and you have given it your all and invested a lot of time into it. When it ends still fresh... there is always that feeling of unfinished business and lost hope.

Answer 6

a little bit of both, the longer together, the more you get used to each other so it may be easier to get past the annoying times, yet the longer you are together, the more you realise this is forever and think of leaving

Answer 7

easier you get to know each other the longer you are together, which always makes the relationship easier but it can be hard if you find out that you are not soulmates after all.

Answer 8

it would be kind of easier because now you guys know more about each other also the longer you stay in you face new problem

Answer 9

I don't think that time is a universal factor in a relationship. Couple A may get closer as time goes on. Couple B may resent each other more and more as time goes on. I suppose it depends on the foundation in which the relationship is built on.

Answer 10

Time isn't an issue.

After nearly 15 years it was TIME for my first marriage to fall to dust - it should have ended within the first 2 years, it was that empty and decrepit (she was a closet dyke so there was no love)!

With my second wife however, I measure every hour, every day to make sure she knows how much I love her!
