What holds a good relationship? Trust, Money, Ego are the key factors.

What do you think are the 3 main key strengths to hold a good relationship (rs)?

1. Trust- the basis of all true relationships.

2. Money- who doesn't need to be self-sustained, needless to say- a well-sustained partner is definitely necessary.

3. Ego- It doesn't necessarily exist only with the guys, the ladies have it too (especially the empowered ones- those with confidence, money, pride and/or education.

T.M.E. above meaing? Too Much Ego (on both sides!)

Trust, the essence to all relationships. What is it? How can we improve it? Since basically, its non existence if every one party denies it. Or refuse to build it. Or The other party never believe in trusting you.

Case study 1 shared: Girlfriend went out with a bunch of friends... friends whom she barely knows. How do you feel? 2 girls, 2 guys and one of the guys seemed to be interested in her and even picked her up from her house in his 2-door car. And worst, you are the last to know because her girlfriend that went told you about it, not knowing that you don't know. Does it hurt? Oh yes, it does. Does it kill the rs- it almost did.

How hurtful? You feel betrayed, you feel unimportant, and lastly you feel not respected by her. What can you do? Confront her? Leave it? Confront her and her defense goes up. Leave it, you feel miserable.

So you must be wondering why didn't it kill the rs? First thought we most likely to establish when such situation is: Why did she not tell me? Can she be trusted? What did she say after you asked her?

Point is, if there is no trust, whether she tells you or not- it doesn't really matters. TRUST- the essence to any relationship is most important. The sad part is that, some situations does not allow trust to be transparent. Imagine- she had a fun party with her girlfriends (with or without guy friends around), she got very high, a good looking guy comes along and wants to know her. They talked, cheers on the drinks... what next? They had a good time and boldly, the guy suggested to send her home. She agreed, along the way something happened. Maybe its my imagination, but this is highly possible based on stories shared by guys who are out on the hunt. "Oh, she had a boyfriend, but guess what- I managed to get her on the first cheers of drinks! She was a good fark! I am going to ask her out soon again!"
