“Relationship” is a broad term meaning a connection between two or more people. It can be between friends, family, professionals, and a romantic couple. This article will help you avoid the only reason why relationships fail.
The Solution — Honesty with yourself
There is only 1 reason why relationships fall apart i.e., Happiness mismatch. One party feels less happy than their expectations.
To avoid failed relationships you must know
· Your expectations — Fixed
Know what you want. Lying about expectations causes chaos later.
· Your valuation — Fixed
This is your perception of how much worth is their contribution. You can have a high valuation — value something more than it is usual for ex . 1 hour from them feels like 4 hours to you or you can have low valuation .
· Their contribution — Changes
This is an estimate of how much the other party can contribute in terms of time, effort, resources, and emotions.
Enter the relationship only when
(What other party contributes) X (How much you value it) >= expectation
Caution
It is possible that other parties overestimate their contribution. Remind them of the committed contribution. Leave the relationship if this doesn’t work.
Conclusion
A failed relationship is a huge waste of your contribution. Choose them wisely. Don’t enter a relationship based on emotions. Because they change over time. It is rational to wait for a relationship where all parties get enough happiness. The solution offered is faster and safer than the usual hit-and-trial approach.
Personal Note
This article might come across as a very materialistic view of relationships. If you wish to keep on trying relationships hoping to stumble upon a good one someday. It is perfectly alright. All the Best.
