Have You Ever Had Any Relationship Problems?
- Thread starter Emolga59
- Start date
When my BF and I disagree on something, we talk about it and don't raise our voices. We'll separate and come back if our anger levels are too high which is usually rare.
I really like our communication. No stupid games, silent treatment or passive agressiveness.

Multiple times. But I've been in the dating game 13yrs so of course it's going to have happened.
My current partner and I are on the same page about everything, and the only thing we've disagreed on we handled without a fight.

Absolutely. I've been in a relationship for almost 14 years so it's unavoidable to clash every now and then. Our rule is to treat each other as you'd want to be treated. It's fine to get upset at each other because we're all human. It happens. It's good to have disagreements as long as you're respectful and open-minded. Couples can't agree on everything. It's important to think about what you say and how to express it.
Having screaming matches, violence, or purposely trying to anger the other isn't healthy. I grew up witnessing toxic relationships from other family members and it's very stressful for all involved. This goes especially for children who don't have full capacity of understanding relationships yet. Or worse when children begin to think toxic behavior is okay and that'll arise in future relationships; it's heart-breaking when kids grow up with warped ideas about romance. Self-control, maturity and respect make all the difference.
Any couple who claims not to have any issues is 100% lying.

Yep, admittedly I had a low level of "emotional intelligence" growing up and it's something I'm actively working on as an adult.
Empathy and sympathy, the whole spectrum of emotions. . .it's tough for me to "allow" myself to be in tune with them all. On an individual level, I struggle with matters of the heart because my mind is trying to process things logically to the nth degree.
It doesn't help matters that it's socially acceptable and encouraged to ~*~conceal, don't feel~*~
Idk maybe it's just because I hide that I'm a sensitive person. I don't like being vulnerable and my defense mechanisms involve making jokes and brushing things off until they become A Big Problem. :^( This is why I partake in individual therapy -- to improve myself and how I am in relationships, both romantic and platonic.

Nope, I’ve never been in a relationship so I can’t comment on that. I can say that whoever it will be, I don’t think there will be many problems between us. It depends on the person I go out with, but I have a high level of emotional intelligence (which is rare for a guy) and I have Aspergers. If any problems do occur, most likely it will be initiated by the other person. 
my boyfriend and i do pretty well. hes absolutely perfect and really taught me how to be a better and mature significant other. the only time we had a pretty big bump in our relationship is after one year of dating i met his mother and afterwards she verbally expressed her dislike for me in a very blunt manner. what hurt me is that she was saying such false/wild accusations about who i am as a person and my boyfriend remained silent the whole time since hes a respectful mamas boy. i was upset he didnt defend me one bit and we were considering calling it off. however i swallowed my pride and tried my best to get to know her more. now she adores me so...things are settled. i did tell him however i need him to stand my ground next time if another thing ever occurs and he agreed so. but overall I LUV HIM

Yeah. With my current boyfriend, whenever we argued at the beginning it was always my way or the highway.. but I've learned to be more tolerant and open so we are much better with communication now
Yes, before I met my husband I was in a very long, very unhealthy relationship. It didn't start out bad, but after a few years he became neglectful. I was in a bad place emotionally, so I allowed him to make me feel like he was the only one who would put up with me. I know better now, and my relationship with my husband is much better. Every relationship will have its bumps, but in a good relationship you learn how to work through them.
I just wanna say that problems don't have to be "initiated" by one person. You'll see what I mean down the line.Nope, I?ve never been in a relationship so I can?t comment on that.

Yeah I had with my ex. He had some daddy issues and was at the same time way too attached and helping him like everytime we were supposed to hang out...And he was pretty bad at replying unless I nagged on him like 3 times :/ Plus for some reason he was way more "good" with his annoying male friends so yeah I had to break up in the end. Been single since that so yeah I'm gonna have some trust issues if/when a partner comes next...
Oh, I know that for sure. I was just saying in general. It’s entirely possible for there to be problems in the relationship between both parties involved. Don’t know what you meant by “you’ll see what I mean down the line,” but whatever.
this... this.
My first boyfriend was such a dick.
I really hate people who smoke/drink (for the sole purpose of getting drunk.), and he agreed with me. He was going to the gym multiple times a week so drinking or smoking would've been kinda ridiculous, you know. Back then, I didn't care as much about alcohol and such things.
Literally the night AFTER we talked about it, for halloween, he went to a party. He tweeted that he tried cigs and that it felt so weird, he was definitely drunk and apparently having the time of his life.
I told him how worried and kinda disappointed (didn't insist on that because I wanted to keep him.) by message but he answered in the morning. I had access to his twitter account (and he to mine) and I checked his DMs. He was talking to a dude, telling that during this night he drank so much he puked, and he also french kissed random people, girls and boys. I'm extremely jealous and have a lot of trust issues so that was hard to read. He also sent him a selfie and laughed with him, while he still didn't answer me.
I sent him some messages concerning what I read in his DMs. He told me he finally answered, telling me how disappointed he was because I did that (oh the hypocrisy.), and then told me that I was worrying for nothing and that it was just fun and games.
And then, long story short, two months later he left me for another man, on the 24th of December, Merry Christmas to me!
I don't know why I didn't strangle him when I saw him at the mall one year after that.

Never been in a relationship. I know, pretty sad.
