Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
In conversations over the years I've heard individuals make the comment " she's the one or he's the one", however as I'm dating, I have to really question if there is that special person out there that I could say she's the one. I feel that as we become more mature (older) our outlook on what a relationship entails is different than when we were younger.
I believe it's a myth and to find that one person, would take a lifetime. A couple studies I've seen have stated that approx. 53% of first marriages end in divorce, 65% of the second marriages fail, and what's sad, those that are still married, only 30% of them are happy in the relationship.
For me I appreciate being single and have come to accept the fact that I'm not willing to get married or have someone move in just because I think I need that person in my life.

Not sure I believe in "the one." I'm in the process of leaving a relationship where he supposedly wanted to find "the one" but then keeps stringing me along.
I believe some are better than others for us. My ex-husband still feels I'm his soulmate and I thought the same once upon a time but not any more.
