There are many reasons why relationships fail.
Some fail because of lack of interest, some fail because of empty expectations, while others fail because of lack of communication.
There are many couples that are in a relationship that started great at first and then decided it was not worth the time because there is a genuine lack of interest in the other person.
This could be because of incompatibility in body, sex, intellectual interest or any combination of these.
There may also be a lack of interest in personality, their voice, or just the way the person walks.
When two people meet, they may have interest in each other and overlook the things they don't like about each other.
The little things one person doesn't like about the other person in the relationship may, in the future, be the things that make or break the relationship.
For example, one person might have a habit of grabbing their nose.
At first, this is not a problem because one is alone with the other person, and it doesn't hurt anything.
A couple of weeks later, the couple is in a public setting at a party around the food table and the other person grabs their nose.
The other is astounded they would do that in a public place, especially around food.
Now they are annoyed by the person for doing such an act and this will in turn lead to a discussion, which can either turn into a habit breaker, an argument/fight, or even a breakup.
Hopefully, it is a discussion, but if it is a fight, know how to make up or break up in the correct manner.
There are many people that break up because of empty expectations - expectations one has for their partner that are never realized.
The expectation may be psychological, sexual, emotional, physical, or relating to goals or aspirations.
Psychological expectations may be how one comports their selves and what they say and how they say it.
Sexual expectations are if the person can complete the other sexually within their expectations.
Emotional expectations are linked to the emotional health of the other person.
Does the person have mood swings, are they stable, can they laugh at a joke and at their own weaknesses.
Physical expectations are how the person is physically, how they dress, what they look like, if they keep in shape or not, and if they are good looking.
Goals and aspirations are critical because they are what give one a roadmap to where one is heading and if the long-term relationship will be on the right track.
If there are problems in this area, the couple should resolve these issues quickly, or determine if they are truly compatible for the long run.
Many times, people get into relationships and think they can leave out parts of these expectations.
This will cause much heartache in the future; there will be fights about the expectations.
If one is in a situation like this, it is imperative one learns how to win back the relationship making sure both partners' expectations are met.
Lack of communication is the greatest deal ender that exists.
One partner in the relationship may think avoiding conflict is the way to go.
Another may think creating conflict is the way to go.
Others communication is dominating and overbearing.
Avoiding conflict only creates greater conflict in the future.
It is better to state concerns as they come up so they can be resolved then and not fester into something greater in the future.
Creating conflict only creates feelings of bitterness and disdain.
Fights are bound to arise in this communication method.
Dominant and overbearing communication can be demeaning and cause heartache that one can't recuperate from in the future.
This is controlling and abusive.
Communication between two people should be equal for both, and should be beneficial to the relationship.
Words can hurt, and they can take a long time to get over.
Effective communication is key to resolving conflict in a couple's relationship.
There are many areas that need attention in a relationship.
One should make sure the person is compatible in most or all of the areas to ensure they can stay together to meet the challenges of life.
