buzzie2 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I was told once that there are 3 basic things that every romantic relationship needs in order to work. These things are trust, respect, and like. Without these we could never be happy in this relationship. Do you think this is true, that without these things a relationship won't last?

Star Gazer Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Trust is a subject of respect, IMO. Without that one thing alone, a relationship can't last. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author buzzie2 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 What I meant by like is: if you could forget the passion and romance, would this be someone who you would want to be with even if you were not attracted to them. You have to enjoy being with that person as a friend because if the relationship is just based on lust it will fade eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

You have to enjoy being with that person as a friend because if the relationship is just based on lust it will fade eventually. my relationships have always started from "like" firm friendships i have nurtured........in saying that....i am now single........ none of those said relationships withstood the test of time and the killer infidelity......the passion died when trust was lost........i hung on due to sheer will.......not a good thing.....there are no guarantees with any relationship or any marriage....what is guaranteed is if you have two fighters who will forgo all others....you have more chance at surviving the hurdles and have a long lasting relationship......having the same values and beliefs is just as if not more important than "like"...you can like someone and totally stuff up ...if you have the same values....the relationship will maybe survive..passion is paramount...all true fighters have passion and if it fades...you fight on and get it back....you dont give up....like suggests luke warm.....you either go hard or you just ...go home.........deb Link to post Share on other sites
