How long do you work at a relationship before you call it quits?

It depends on the person. I worked on my last relationship for 6 years and then called it quits.

Do you beleive that relationships are perfect?

No. In fairy tales :)

What makes people insecure?

I'm an insecure person but that's because I've been cheated on in the past.

Do you beleive that if there is not trust the relationship will fail?

Depends. There has got to be some trust or course or else maybe the relationship will fail.

How long does it take to can a persons trust back, if they lied?

Depends on the lie and the person.

The questions i asked was just to see what others think, ive seen people leave soon as something doesnt work or go there way in a relationship and people stay even if the other person was unfaithful.  Personaly, i dont think i could stay if my partner cheated. I just like to wonder what other people think.  My parents are still together and they are role models for me on what i want out of a relationship and a marriage.

I dont think my relationship is perferct but we are continously working at it and have the same goals. Since im typing, i ll just give a little background on my story:)

2005 met DF on a chat site online. I travel a lot, i have a lot of friends in georgia so i would visit there often, just so happen he was in ga going to school right after he got out the marines. We hooked up in 2006, thought to ourselves how could this **** work, he in georgia im in wisconsin, well it has been a long road, expensive might i add. I finished school this may and he finishes october 25th. He came to wisconsin everyother month and vise versa. Our visits ranged any where from 2weeks to a month. We our hoping to get married end of 2009. Im actually in ga now, got here on the 2nd of this month and will be here until end of september.  Then i will be back middle of October to help pack him up. He s moving to WI and will do his masters there and get some work experience then we will decide what state we may want to reside in.  Im just happy this date is finally here.

I do need to work on my controlling issues, its not a bit cute, he reminds every now and again to work on that, whatever im doing its not working, so i gota find another way to stop my controlling impulses.

1. I would say that if your truly truly inlove with someone and feel like they have your feelings in best interest and love you just as much as you love them then you stick it out for awhile till things get better. If within a few months things havent gotten any better no progress what so ever then you leave. No point in waiting around on something that wont change! So I say a month or two!

2. Honestly I do not believe any relationship is perfect. Their is no such thing. I do believe in very incredible wonderful loving relationships that's full of joy and happiness. But with every relationship theres comes a time for ups in downs. We all argue and disagree on certain things. Nothing in life is perfect but the wonderful thing about that is even threw the disagreements we find a way threw and still hold on strong. The love continues to grow and the relationship stregthens!

3. A few things that might make a person inscure to me is your soul mate putting you down, looking at other women or men,complaining about certain things, telling you how disappointed they are in you. Making you feel like the relationship isnt working because of you,always putting the blame on you or never complenting you! And so on and so on!

4. Yes I truly believe that if you have no trust the relationship will not work at all. To build love you have to have trust for one another. If not how can you learn to love someone and give them your all if you can not have trust with in them?

5. Well it really depends on the person. Some people take months or yrs and as for others they might never get over it. I feel like if you give someone a second chance after they messed up then your trust for them should be back 100 percent if not then give your self time to heal until you feel like you can trust that person again. But usually after someone lies and betrays your trust it doesnt go back to how it use to be. Simply because in the back of your mind theirs always doubt!

Hope this helps sweety I answered as if I was a person going threw these things! Good luck

I agree with AJH--it depends.  It depends mostly, imo, on the tolerance level of the person who is being wronged.  Some people put up with a lot--repeatedly forgiving wrong-doings and continuing to try to make it work--and other's have no tolerance for mistreatment and don't give second chances.

I know one thing for sure, though--you shouldn't be trying for a baby if you have the slightest bit of uncertaintly whatsoever.  I hope you aren't asking all these questions for yourself.

All of your questions are very broad and can have a million answers depending on the individual situation. There is not a definite answer for any of those. The answer to all of them is, "It depends."
Well, except for the perfect relationship question. That's a NO. Even the best of the best relationships are not PERFECT.
