There is something very strange going on with my group of
friends, we’re pretty much all single or on the road to singledom, which is
unheard of. For the most part we’re always outnumbered by loved up couples; it
kind of makes a nice change. Because of our group's singleness and the few that
are about to make that relationship status change we got chatting about why
relationships fail and because drunk conversations are always fun I thought I’d
share our findings with you guys.
Lack of Sex Drive – You’d be right in guessing this was
the biggest complaint/whine from my male friends. When asked how much sex is
the right amount they said 4 times a day......you my dear friends are going to
die alone with your hand.
Friends/In-laws- This was one of the biggest issues my
female friends had. The family issue was pretty minor, at least for my
non-married friends. That issues gets a lot bigger once you say “I do”
apparently. My female friends biggest problems was and I quote “his douche-bag
friends”. My experience is douche-bags flock together if his friends are that
way; he probably is too, so run!
Boredom – We’ve all been there, you get bored of dating
the same person and doing the same things, kissing the same face. It just happens
sometimes.
Jealousy – Being jealous was something my guy friends had
a problem with. But since men are from Mars and women from Venus the girls in
my group actually had a problem with their boyfriends not being jealous. Girls
like to know that their boyfriends care and them showing a wee bit of jealousy
can be kind of sweet. But apparently guys don’t see it that way.
Control Issues – There is a fine balance of give and take
in a relationship and when that doesn’t happen, relationships end. Nobody likes
being dominated in a relationship save that shit for the bedroom.
Time – Both too much and not enough can be a problem.
People need some alone time but given too much of it, you may start to wonder
why you’re even in a relationship.
Attachment – Be it my girl friends or guy friends nobody
likes a clingy partner. And they also don’t like a clones, someone who is so
attached to you they stop functioning like an individual. Doormats aren’t hot,
be yourself.
Selfishness- This one speaks for itself. If you want
someone to cater to your every whim, hire a maid.
Stubbornness – I’m guilty of this one; I blame it on me
being a Taurus. This one goes back to give and take in a relationship. However
I standby when I’m right, I’m right and I’m not going to back down when I know
I’m right. (Yeah, I’m going to die alone with a million cats.)
Not Being Compatible – This is why you shouldn’t jump
into relationships people. This is one of those bullshit problems that shouldn’t
be an issue; if you’re not compatible with someone don’t enter a relationship
with that person.
Cheating and Lies – Once you do something to lose the
trust of the other person, the relationship is always doomed. No matter what
you do you can’t rebuild it. Side note: we all agree (guys and girls) faking
orgasms doesn’t count as lying and they don’t want to know you’re doing it
(trust me).
Poor Communication Skills – Commutation consists of two
basic things, listening and talking and you have to do both well to have a
healthy relationship. You have to understand that your partner isn’t a mind
reader and you need to voice things. On the other hand when your partner voices
things you need to listen (actually listen don't just pretend you are).
Comfort Zone – When you get to the point where body
functions are normal and you stop putting any effort into your looks. You stop
shaving, doing your hair, wearing makeup, you’ve officially reached the point
where romance is dead and a lot the time the relationship follows suit.
Lack of Appreciation – When you don’t appreciation what
you have it goes away, just remember that.
Disillusionment – We always think the grass is greener on
the other side, there is someone better looking, with more money out there. You
begin to over think what a relationship should be, those are all very dangerous
thoughts to have in a relationship
Fault Finding – Women are experts at this. And within my
group of friends we’ve broken up with people, mainly guys, for some frankly
pathetic reasons. Here’s a short list of some of my favorites. Too young, too
short, strange eye twitch, his hands are like sandpaper and my favorite his dog
has bad breath.
So that’s our list of relationship killers, what do you
think? Did we miss anything? And what have been your past relationship killers?
Let me know in the comment box below. As always my dears stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
