Person Wonders Online: "What Screams 'This Couple Isn't Going To Last Long'?" - Receives 30 Answers

There is a thread in the AskReddit community, created a couple of days ago by a person who asked netizens the question: "What screams 'this couple isn't going to last long'?" As a result, in just three days, 11K upvotes and over 2.4K different comments were collected. As we can see, the discussion turned out to be rather heated - and sometimes, not always polite among the participants.

The thing is that people have completely different opinions, and different temperaments - so what one person may consider just an insignificant spat between partners, will seem almost a harbinger of the family Apocalypse for another. However, we have selected the most popular points of view from this thread, so it should be really interesting.

Of course, we are all completely different people, and any relationship, or any marriage, is always an emotional tuning in of two people to one another - an attempt to find compromises in many things, from the color of the curtains on the windows, to politics and having kids. On the other hand, almost every relationship will inevitably, at one stage or another, face quarrels and misunderstandings.

The thing is that even if we feel, literally on the first date, that this is "our kind of person,” it's far from a fact that we'll feel the same after, for example, a year or two of being together. In addition, sharing one roof has a significant impact on the emotional climate in a couple. Very often - it has a destructive impact, to be honest.

Your heart may stop from discussing your favorite TV series together on a romantic walk - but then it turns out that this same person, for example, forgets to flush the toilet - this happens, and often. After this, you must agree, it's rather difficult to maintain the same, sublimely romantic attitude towards the person...

However, it is not so much the quarrels as our reaction to them - this is what actually determines how successful this tuning in to each other will be, and whether we'll justify the vow to be together till our last days, in joy and sorrow.

Sometimes, everything goes well, and other times, people become embittered against each other, start insulting and taking offense, and turn on the cynicism and sarcasm - then the problems can begin...

By the way, some experts cite another indicator that may mean a future breakup of any couple - if the number of family scandals per month regularly exceeds the number of moments of intimacy - this is a problem. A big problem. Of course, this greatly depends on the age and temperament of the people in the couple, but on average, this technique actually works.

In any case, it seems to us that it's always worth maintaining a positive outlook on things, trying to find the advantages in your partner, and not looking for shortcomings - and, of course, expecting the same from them. Expect, but do not demand - this is also incredibly important.

Of course, none of us are perfect or sinless, and sometimes, it really happens that it's way easier to break up in time and go your separate ways, without continuing to "torment" each other. In that case, this selection may also be useful for you.

Or, you can simply see some alarming signals for yourself just in time - and react promptly so that everything turns out for the better. After all, the more we know, the better we can react to the problem, right?
