Can the Relationship Survive?

How many couples do you know that have fought and made up and turned around to do it all over again in a day or two? Does it seem they are constantly doing this? Are you tired of hearing what the latest reason for the break-up is about? Nor do you want to hear about the making up - this is need-to-know basic information and you do not need to know or want to know. When people do not communicate they are not going to get along. The key to any relationship is listening to and understanding the other person’s feelings.

Any relationship can survive and there is no need for the arguing and fussing as long as there is a desire among both people to listen to what the other has to say. There is one thing that most people do not realize. After many years of not getting along, the toll on the relationship starts to wear it thin. Too many hurtful things are said and it makes it harder to forgive and forget. This is true especially if the reason for the problem is more one person’s fault than the other.

If you are in a relationship with someone who is a habitual cheater and have heard the excuses and promises a million times, the chances that you will be able to work it out are not promising. This depends upon whether the person is willing to work at the relationship and stop the behavior that is causing a problem. If they are not willing the chances are slim that making up will be in your thoughts.
