Is cheating the only reason?

Most of you know that relationships end because of cheating, that might be true, but have you really thought of the real reasons why relationships end? Well, I am going to tell you four of my best reasons why I think relationships end.

Have you ever really thought that age, time, maturity and committing too early can also cause relationships to go through ups and downs? All these reasons come down to one thing which is compromise. I am no expert when it comes to relationships but I will let you in on a little secret, expectations develop in people's minds and they might not even happen the way they expect and that will cause the person to compromise. Yes, you are allowed to compromise in relationships but is it worth it if it will ruin you?

Age. I often hear people say that in a relationship the man has to be older than the woman which I personally think is a myth. Age is just a number as they always say. Age is a factor driving differences in preferred leisure activities, how to spend money and other decisions.

Maturity. One might ask how maturity is defined, well it depends on how you define maturity. Ask yourself this, is it maturity when you expect your partner to be perfect? How will your relationship work with perfection? We all know that relationships are not perfect. I want to leave you with questions than answers. If you can't count on your partner, will it ever work out? Immature relationships have drama because drama is for people who don't know how to have a relationship.

Time. People make rules and guidelines and assume time is the only thing that makes or breaks their relationships, who does that? People often think that relationships end because couples don't spend time together, yes that is so true. I want to tell you what I think, relationships just need communication and connection. It's all in the head.

Committing too early. You may think that no one has ever made you feel this way and you can't help but be amazed. Many relationships start this way, but sadly these kinds of relationships end before they could even start because people jump into something serious without even getting to know each other. Relationships built on infatuation can die as quickly as they spring up. Getting to carried away never works, I know... it's something that happened to me. Rushing into a relationship is always a mistake, you don't want to dig a hole you won't be able to get out of, right? Don't let misplaced love hunger hurt you.
