relationships

i keep seeing these... awful relaitionships, and all i can think is...why didnt any one tell them they shouldnt be a couple. i mean why cant people tell other people whats wrong in their relaitionship with out it being a explosion of nonsense. dont people know that dating is a way to test if you cant stand that person? going steady with some one is a promise to test only them. not a promise to stay with them forever.

the differences.

friends - they hang out. do stuff and do their own thing. they might not talk every day or every week. but they know the other person a good bit.

Best friends - talk shit on each other and know WAYYYY to much about the other person. usualy seem to talk about everyday. may have has awkward intimate moments but relized they arent meant to date and such. some instances seem, to beable to work sex into their relationship. this is for experts only. no for the feint of heart.

Talking to someone - this is from when you first meet someone till you decide your gonna be exclusive. you text talk and share personal things. relationships usually form in two branches. sexual and long term. the questions asked in this timeframe. if they are mostly sexual the relationship will most likely be forming into a sexual relaitionship. if the question are more about you as a person and about your thoughts then it will more than likely be forming in to a more long term relaitionship.

Going steady/Dating- In most relationships this is when you decided to be exclusive. to only be romatic and sexual with each other. this is when you learn more about the other person. their inner workings, about their family, about their childhood. how they handle pressure, how they like certain things. sometimes this stage goes on for a long time. sometimes the couple realize they will not work and the end the relationship before anyone gets hurt or angry. but sometime this stage goes on for a long time because the couple are unwilling to breakup dispite clearly not getting along. they are comfortable in their arguments and daily activities. it not really a healthy relationship and sometimes the couple doesnt realize it. spending to long in this stage can be boring for some and they will cheat and cause problems to either end the relationship or to make excitement in the relationship. some spend too little time here and move on to moving in or getting married before they really know each other. it can make for a terrible coupling if you know nothing about the other person.

Living together- it a step up from dating and a notch down from married. you share bills and space. you see this person nearly 24/7 this can be a good test of if you really like each other. and a test of your communication skills. if you can tell the other person your thoughts and feelings how will they know if there is an issue. living together is an important step before getting married. some dont do it and it works out. some realize the day after they got married it was a terrible idea.

Marriage - it the biggest step you can really take. your making a oath to a person and to a god and government that you love someone so much you want to file taxes with them. and if you dont work out you wanna split your stuff in half. yeah i killed it a bit. but i dont think marriage should be treated like a joke. im not a religious person so i wont go one about offending god. but i find it morally wrong to marry someone if you dont truly want to be with them forever. im not saying you cant. and im not saying i wouldnt do it. but marriage was meant to bind 2 people forever. or gain money from a bride's parent depending on your region.

i think knowing where you are in a relationship helps you know where to go next. if you lost how can you know where your going?

why do terrible couples stay together?

WHY DO YOU DO IT TERRIBLE COUPLES???
