What does a successful relationship look like?

[yardman]

People usually think "oh they've been together for x number of years". But that can't be it. They could be putting on an act. Maybe their partner has financial stability and they don't want to cut off that life line. Plenty of people do this. What characteristics does a "good woman" have and how would you know what those characteristics are if you've never experienced a good woman in depth? And would you as a man even deserve a good woman based off of your personality? I mean we attract what we attract for a reason.

This. Everything else is what the couple explicitly chooses to show

Honest to god I know a bytch who posts selfies with her husband all on social media like they happy, when in reality this mf just got the side hoe pregnant and the wife's mom just found out

U cannot tell a relationships shape simply by examining what they choose to show you



Perhaps we'd have had a more fleshed out dialogue if you were asking what a successful relationship took.

In the Social Media people choose to only display the Positives of their life... never trust those images. You can't find what a successful relationship "looks" like it can only be known between those in one.

I know TOO many people who display a perfect love on Social Media for all the world to see when in reality it's very flawed. For example, and this is one of MANY, I know a girl who you would think was completely in the ideal relationship with her Fiance with all these lovey dovey type photos and hash tags of romance on every photo yet the reality is she's been knocked down by 4 different dudes from her job and they all roast her "Simp" fiance for not knowing. She presents a false image of being the perfect wholesome girlfriend yet has one of the most selfish personalities with a very foul mouth attached to an arrogant mindset... her fiance complains that she's a headache and they're always fighting.

But you won't see those truths posted on "the gram" nor would you know if you hadn't encountered her personally. This is nearly everyone I know in a relationship... the few people I'm aware of that display both a healthy relationship in public and behind closed doors are very private and don't put their business out there for all to see.

This has become common in all aspects of life in this age... people display false images of positivity without giving a point of reference for their negativities because they want to "appear" to be happier than other people.

The man has the power in the relationship and his personal goals come before the woman.

without going too deep, in my personal opinion: respect, trust & communication are the cornerstones of a "successful relationship" if you don't have these fully operational all of the time..the relationship won't last.
