Building Trust In A Relationship Once Lost

-
Image
In most cases, it takes an enormous amount of trust to open up and let someone in to your life and into your heart. The first time is difficult enough but once that trust is gone building trust in a relationship once lost may well be close to impossible. I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't even try or that it is impossible, but I am saying that if you find yourself in a situation where you need to rebuild the trust you once had, it is usually even doubly difficult to do the second time around. If you have made a mistake and betrayed your partner and you decide that you want to put things back together and make things right, just know that you must be willing to commit to it fully. Rebuilding won't be quick or easy but it can be worth it. We are only human and sometimes we make mistakes that is the reality. But, when those mistake cause someone else, particularly the person we love, a lot of pain, it just makes it more important than ever to try to make thin...

Relationships That Stand The Test Of Time; Are You In One?

If someone could come up with the simple formula that would ensure all relationships could be relationships that stand the test of time they would probably make a fortune. That seems to be the one thing that eludes many of us, we just seem to have trouble finding relationships that stand the test of time. Is there a secret? Is there some sort of blue print or formula that we can follow to find "the one"? Well, I don't claim to be an expert but I believe that yes, in a way there really is. I believe most of us have the tendency to make things more complicated than we need to. I believe that if we made a subtle shift in the way we thought about our relationships we could have more success. Like I said, I'm not an expert and you may or may not agree with my ideas, but here are some easy things that I believe can make it easier for you to have more success in all your relationships both romantic and not: 1.

Love of Marriage or Relationships: Like A Car You May Need a Tune-Up

-
Image
We all know that there are many stages of Love & Relationships. Sometimes, it can be a good idea to do a "tune up" of your relationship and make sure you are heading in the direction you want to be heading. Love & Relationships can have all types of possible pitfalls and if you don't keep your eyes, and your mind, open you may miss early warning signs. Missing these signs may make it easy for small, rather insignificant problems to get out of hand. If these problems are allowed to spiral out of control it may spell the end of your relationship. Many people mistakenly believe that once they get to a certain point in their relationship they are safe from these problems. Unfortunately, that does not seem to actually be the case. Many couples actually fall apart after they have been together for decades. That can be discouraging news, I know, but knowing that it is possible allows you to be more proactive. So take this knowledge as a possible early step to p...

Men And Commitment Issues: Go Hand In Hand

-
Image
It is a very commonly held belief that men and commitment issues go hand in hand. But, as with most stereotypes, the truth may not be quite what we think it is. We've probably all known someone who was with one of these commitment phobic guys who just didn't want to settle down yet he ended up getting married shortly after the relationship with our friend ended. What's up with that? The truth is that many people, yes that means women too, who seem like they would never settle down just were waiting for the right person. Few people are going to admit to the person they are in a relationship with that the person they are with is only a convenience. But that is exactly what happens more times than not. We find ourselves in a relationship and while it isn't bad we know in our hearts that it isn't the relationship we really want to be in. So, we go along and we enjoy as much of it as we can but all the while we are waiting to meet that special someone. Most of us don...

Committed Relationship; The Stages You Must Go Through

-
Image
When I was looking for some ideas for this article, I stumbled upon a very interesting article. I have to admit it went into much more detail than I expected. The articles was a far more in depth look at what a committed relationship is really all about and how to get to that point. Truthfully, I was going to do an article about how you each need to define what you consider to be a committed relationship so there is no misunderstanding and hurt, but after reading the other article I wanted to explore some of that information with you since I thought it was very eye opening. The article basically said that there are 5 distinct stages in most relationships, 4 stages you and your partner need to get through in order to even reach the commitment stage. So, I guess it's about more than just defining whether or not you and your partner can see other people! Here is a synopsis of the 5 stages of a relationship: 1. I'm sure you can guess this stage: the romance stage. This is what ...

It's an unfortunate fact, but breakups happen. They may not be pleasant, but it's not the end of the world either. If this has happened to you recently and are in a new relationship, or are thinking of being in one, then you probably want to know how a rebound relationship can work. Let's take a moment to define what is meant by ' rebound relationship '. A rebound relationship is the first relationship you enter into after a breakup, and it typically happens rather quickly to fill an emotional void. Technically, any relationship after a breakup, no matter how much time has passed, could be a rebound. There are many reasons for breaking up, and you need to take an honest look at what led to your previous relationship coming to an end. The key here is to be gut-wrenchingly honest with yourself. This will help you to avoid being with someone who has the same problems as your ex. It will also help to prevent you from making the same personal mistakes that contributed ...
