serene56: The OP asked for my thoughts


I'd prefer short-term passion to a lifetime of someone else's definition.






If it's good for you, that's all that matters?

Hardly, but I imagine most people seek a relationship to enhance their own lives firstly, then in finding a suitable partner, both would find it equally rewarding and fulfilling confused

I suppose if two people can put up with one another for a whole lot of years together then I would consider that a successful relationship.

That sounds like something Yoko Ono would say...


Men are more likely to fall in love with a woman they have nothing in common with, and put her needs first.

sergio09: What do you call a successful relationship? Is the the length of time? Is it the happiness shared, no matter the length of the relationship? Is it the fact that two separated cordially? Is it the fact that even years after it ended, you still are friends?

Your thoughts?


Moving on without loss of enthusiasm. You have to kill a love to follow a love.

mykingdomforanam: I wonder how many men would consider marrying a woman who ruined his career, and then leaving her a rich young widow, would consider that a successful relationship?

A successful relationship is one where none of the partners have cheated or been tempted to cheat... comfort

A successful relationship is one that doesn't end in homicide or someone being committed to a mental institution.
