Dead End Relationships

Everyone is or has been in relationships. Some are long lasting, others fail miserably. One thing that is hard to determine is whether a relationship is good for you or not.

How do you know if you are in a dead end relationship?

People think that you fall in love and get married. Is marriage the finish line?

This is a hard question. But I think having a successful relationship is about having a real plan for the future together, and both people having the means and motivation to contribute to and realize that plan. This gives a relationship purpose.

Whether you're talking about Western-style dating or a purely arranged marriage, when people allow themselves to simply fall into a relationship because it's convenient, it's what their parents want, etc., often have a harder time finding that purpose in their relationship. Factors like children, religious faith, etc., can force a purpose, but I think when the mentality that 'we have a mission together in life, and this is how we're going to accomplish it' is missing, a relationship can feel very empty regardless of whether the couple stays together or not.

Re: Dead End Relationships

sure, it may be, if you consistently depend on the other person to take initiative in the relationship....it all depends on YOUR approach, combined with mutual effort and understanding..
*people who think they are the only ones making the relationship work..then it is a dead end ...vice versa....

key to a lasting relationship is being expressive is every way possible...believe in each other, and dont forget or let the other person forget that you love them.

when its the right person you will know.

MWP, remember if you are afraid of failing then you are not going to give it your best. let it play out, see what happens. it might make you stronger

Re: Dead End Relationships

Dead end is where you dont have anymore growth or potential for a future. Marriage isnt necessarily the finish line for all but I think its a matter of growing and maturing together.
