Should relationships be so damn HARD?!?

The hard part about a relationship is that when we are younger we aren't really sure what we are looking for.We may have a very unrealistic expectation from a partner which makes it nearly impossible for some relationships to succeed.time, trial and error are all part of the relationship journey.We never set out to take advantage of another emotionally.For example when we are in love in our teens that emotion is often dismissed by others as only puppy love.I prefer to call it young love and real or not it still hurts to break up.Sometimes we need to fall in and out of love to truly know what we are looking for in another.We need to know that we are compatible with another on many levels in order to have a chance at a success at a successsful relationship.ou should never enter a relationship thinking you can change the person into your ideal mate.You have to not only love the person but you must like them too.Trust me these are two very different qualities.It is far easier to love someone than it is to like someone on a daily basis.A relationship can only work if you love and respect each other, appreciate the fact you will not always agree on everything.(and that is okay),people who care for each other never think of themselves as disposable in each other's lives.Most importantly I guess couples must realize that real life is not like in the movies.We don't have a script writer to help us to live happily ever after.We must simply do our best each day and realize a successful relationship is a labour of love.
