2. The Type Of Relationship That Was Never Meant To Work Out
You genuinely liked this guy, but deep down you felt something wasn’t quite right about his personality.
Your gut told you this relationship wasn’t going to work out, but you decided to ignore it for a while. You also avoided the warnings of your parents and friends.
Eventually, you realized that you didn’t see a future with this person. So, how long did it take for you to come up with a concrete reason to break up and move on?
3. The Relationship That Couldn’t Survive The Long-Distance Phase
The relationship was going pretty well. But then, you both graduated college and moved to different parts of the country with new jobs, and big dreams.
Communicating with him across time zones was becoming very hectic. Moreover, you felt like you needed to experience the adventures life has in store for you before settling down with someone. As a result, both of you decided to go separate ways.
I’m sure you both still catch up from time to time. It makes you fondly remember the great connection you both shared. It probably makes you wonder if you took the right step. Maybe, you wish that you had tried a little harder. Then perhaps the relationship would have worked out fine.

On top of that, he probably had a commitment phobia. And this label-less relationship just fizzled out (for good) eventually.
6. The Relationship You Can’t Seem To Discard From Your Life
You know you both are incompatible. But there’s something about him which rekindles the spark every time you both catch up. You try to stop it every time, but he has some sort of power over you. The passion is strong, although fleeting. Things end soon. But this cycle repeats itself.
7. The Relationship You Still Can’t Believe You Entered!

9. The Relationship That Was About Proving A Point
You wanted to feel that you were cool enough for a particular guy. So, you did a number of meaningless things just to grab his attention. You probably listened to music that wasn’t really of your taste. Pretended to be interested in bands and sports that otherwise meant nothing to you.
Just to appear intriguing you probably faked interest in all his pseudo-philosophical gibberish. Thank god, you got out of that relationship!
10. The Relationship Where You Know That Your Search Is Over
Your minds and bodies are in sync. You both share the same values. He makes you feel loved, protected, and most importantly, happy. Until you met him, you didn’t know you could be fond of anybody’s quirks so much or spend hours that feel like moments.
