With every relationship comes conflict Options

[Simba]

Many people say that with every relationship comes conflict. No matter who you're interacting with, chances are that you will conflict with each other at the very least, once.

We always here about this heartbroken people regretting ever getting into relationships. Along with those happily-ever-after people.

What do you think? Do you think bothering to get into relationships is worth it? No pain no gain?

Aw Robbi...hehe, but yeah I completely agree with you. No relationship is absolutely perfect, but if you really have the patience and will to work things out, you can.

I think relationships are worth it. They're worth all the hassles and pain.

Sure...my first relationship ended very very badly. I got hurt. Swore that I would never ever get a boyfriend again. I kept that promise...until my boyfriend came along. And...wow. He just makes me feel so complete.

I think...that relationship takes time to adjust and get used to. With all the fights, you can come to an understanding and get along. And really...why wouldyou want to miss out on such an amazing part of life?

I think no matter what you're going to have times when you might butt heads with someone. It happens in any relationship--not just dating someone. I think the good should overshadow the bad, or it's not a good relationship. Good relationships have understanding, you might not always be able to relate to why the person is feeling what they are and it might create conflict, but when you understand someone better you won't have as much conflict... So I guess that if there's not the understanding in a relationship the bad can overshadow the good.

It depends. Not all relationships are worth getting into.

There are relationships that will go predictably wrong; the type you just know won't work out from the beginning. The ones where you know this guy has cheated on you multiple times before and you're considering getting back with him, or you're trying to get with a guy that's a total player, or etc. The "obviously" wrong relationships... I don't think they're worth it. I'm not saying all of those relationships don't work out, but for me, I'd try not to chance it.

Then with most every other relationship- you really just gotta take a chance. I agree, it's quite a game of no pain, no gain. 99% of the time you'll have to just take the leap and see how it goes... because it turns out a lot of relationships can reveal something entirely beautiful and unexpected if you just learn to communicate and get past the arguments.

Relationships are worth it besides you won't know until you try. Being open minded, understanding, patient, trusting to name but a few qualities which help out alot in a relationship.

There will always be some conflict but it's all about how you come through them. You may start of apart but hopefully come through holding each other's hands. You leanr alot about yourself and your partner as well which brings you even closer.

This poem sort of captures this:

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.

[font=palatino linotype]Definitely no pain no gain. Can't just expect to get into a relationship and be happy forever prancing on rainbows with butterflies. You gotta work for it. There will always be phases in relationships where there's a ton of drama.
And with understanding, comes calmness.

It's definitely worth it.
I mean...we're human...we make mistakes, we fight, we move on.
And it's so much fun!
I don't think fear of conflict should get in the way of being in a relationship with someone. Conflict should only be an issue if you guys fight almost every time you see each other.
