Interesting. I would think lack of communication would be a side of effect of the issues below it. People tend to seize up when they spite the other person for being wronged.

 

I would have thought so too. however, based on experience when people stop communicating those other tthings happen. Interestingly, the percent was different for the UK. Here is what I found:

1. Communication My boyfriend and I come from completely different backrounds/families, we have been raised differently and have been thought things differently. We tend to have issues communicating and that is very frustrating. I can see that being a huge factor. It is definitely very stressful. We have come a long way and at least know that we tend to misunderstand each other- so the "freak out" is not as big as it might would be.
2. Money We have been through that as well, important is that both earn money and are able to take care of themselves, if there is no money, it means a lot of stress. It was the hardest time we have ever had when we just started out.
3. Cheating Not an issue, he would never cheat and neither would I.
4. Wrong expecations Maybe so, but we all mistake people a little bit for who they are but most of the time you will find other new factors that you really love about the person you are with.
5. Commitment Important.
6. Addiction We don´t do drugs or smoke. My boyfriend is not a friend of alcohol either, I like having get-togethers and hanging with friends, I don´t drink till I fall.
7. Sex Has never been an issue in our relationship. We have always enjoyed it so far and also always wanted it.
8. Mid Life Crisis Okay, I am 22.
9. Little things Don´t turn a mouse into an elephant as I always say. Don´t make little unimportant things to huge disasters!
10. Society Don´t care.

Amen to the Amen.

Being young, dumb and full of cum sucks, it causes you to make lots of stupid mistakes. Not that you know anything about that tho, lol

 

I hope that is not supposed to be a pushback on me?!
