I have a really bad habit of getting into relationships with people ,who are nice at first then just stop caring . I listen to peoples feelings and am a very honest and open person . I know when to stop speaking and for some reason I don't know why I could work and also cook the next days meals the night before on my workdays and clean the mess I made while still cleaning my partners mess when I get home and it would never be enough . on my days off I dont have a pleasing people issue I just like lots of tasks it makes me happy and I still always have time for myself and my partner of course. I give my partner space and listen to their feelings as well as just being there for them . What am I doing wrong? I always just say if you need something or want something to be different just tell me and I can make it work if my partner says they want tondo something like helo cook or work or anything else I'm cool with it . I'm an easy to please respectful person I hold doors and have manners. I don't know I guess I just want some advice on what I should do after I heal from my breakup? I just am gonna take some time to myself and reflect and do some self improvement . Thanks,

How do you know when it's just a rough patch vs time to end a romantic relationship? I know it's quite personal and varies by relationship, so I'm more interested in folks' experiences than in a general rule or standard. (Although if you do have a rule of thumb to share, would love to hear it too.)

Note: I'm not speaking of abusive situations, but of relationships with ordinary troubles.

Today is my 5-year anniversary with my husband, we were planning on going on a camping trip to celebrate. He asked today if it was ok to cancel because a bad tooth had been causing him pain all last night. After talking about their refund policy, I told him it was ok to cancel if he was worried about it. We have a dentist appointment scheduled for him, but we couldn't get in before the trip.

He wants to make it up to me by taking me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant this weekend, and I feel bad for feeling a little disappointed. Its a nice restaurant, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to do something special or new for our 5-year. I want to ask to do something this weekend, but don't know what to ask for so last minute. So now I'm here asking if anyone has any ideas on what to do to celebrate, or if I should just keep my disappointment to myself? What would you do?

longer couples waited to make that first serious commitment - moving in, the better their chances for marital success.

Post age 23 much better odds of success

I've noticed variations of 'calm down' don't work.

Lots of ppl in arguments in the hood

Even though you realistically didn't do anything bad.

Relationship being like acquintanceship or attempting to get along with a coworkers who's reasonably not crazy most of the time

Assuming both or at least one of of them has a correspond sexuality/gender/etc that works with the other

This is why getting blocked is seen as an achievement (of sorts): Problem solves itself.

Like say per month.

For me specifically, no family.

prob

People talk a lot about 500 days of summer and thats definitely useful too. Swingers is good for break ups. Eternal sunshine didn't seem useful.

Any similar movies?
