ok well im going to attempt to help people all over the place to make sure their relationship works. I hope to help people make their LDR work(it does work with the right frame of mind)

i also want to help couples get through when one or the other has cheated.

on this site you get a lot of articles asking about relationships and i think it would be safe to say that relationships are important to many people and those people want to know how to keep their relationship working.

first of all the number one thing with relationships is communication, i cannot communicate that enough. without it your relationship will not work. its as simple as that.

another number one thing is trust! soo many people on here wonder why their girlfriend/boyfriend has left after they cheated, well its obvious..the trust is gone. If you cannot trust your partner you will be forever thinking they are sneaking of behind your back having sex with complete randoms or selling illegal drugs.

as much as we would like to deny this fact, if you are an adult or even a young adult then sex is just an important part of any relationship. Not just sex though, a relationship needs intamacy ang together time, if you dont have that, well how will get to know your partner in private? also, ladies you want to keep your man satisfied? im sorry but this is the truth you cannot do that if you do not give him some sexual access. hes not in 4th grade now hes not going to be content with sharing your barbie car.

ok this is one that comes up a lot, why is my boyfriend distancing himself from me? what do you expect if your calling him every day? txting him every minute? he needs space as much as you do!

what should i do? i cheated on my BF/GF? ahh really?.. well if you want your relationship based on untold truths and lies dont tell him. if you want a quality relationship, i think the mature thing to do would be telling him, dont you think?

what should i do? my BF/GF cheated on me? is it your fault or theirs? well lets see its probably both unless ur BF is just a horny, insensitive prick that does not value relationships.

the best thing to do in that placement is have a serious chat with him/her. talk it through, why did it happen?

soo there you go, feel free to add to this list, its open to invites,

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

to add to the list i agree with tennisstar,

this might to be about making your relationship work with your bf but its about having a good, mature relationship with yourself.

if your under age, dont have sex, its as easy as that.

my advice here about sex is for those who are old enough and who are legal to be knowing that kind of thing.

you will enjoy sex more as you get older, soo what the rush? no need to rush into it, go slow and only give it away when your old enough and have found the right guy.

this might sound old but the sex after marrige is not really a bad idea.

Relationships are a very complex business! Whilst what u said is can be wise in regards to ur age I guess as u get older and gain some life experience some things can not be just summed up so quickly. We are complicated creatures and sometime act and behave irrationally and unreasonably but if we do not we can not learn from mistakes for next time- I think this is an important factor for how we grow through life whether we are on the giving or receiving end. Liars and cheaters well we can not always speculate why this happens ... Can a lie sometimes protect someone from the truth when the truth is sole destroying? Can a cheat be driven into the arms of someone else through neglect from a current partner? It's all things to think about, I guess it's important to not be judgmental until both sides of the story is told and there are the facts

We can't dismiss some ones insecurities... Distrust ... Or being over bearing... There has to be a trigger... I could go on and on but I'm not ... It's basically a learning process and isnt always just a two sided story

tennisstar88 agony auntYour comment about the barbie car made me chuckle.

Without communication and trust the relationship will fall apart.

Now, I agree that sex is an important part of a relationship..However, there are exceptions. Those virgins holding onto their innocence to give it to the right one and the minors who cannot legally consent to sex. I don't blame the virgins for keeping it, because who's first time didn't suck? Of course they have to date carefully, finding suitable matches who respect their choice in the matter. As far as the minors go, the law is the law..it's not going to kill you to wait a few more years.
