On Predicting the Future of Your Relationship
You can't say for sure what might happen to your relationship, but you can pay close attention to enough signs early on to determine whether it will survive and become a reasonably quality relationship or a dysfunctional one that might eventually come to an end. Consider the following signs there are storms ahead.
1. You or your partner is buying much of the stuff related to the relationship from the gas in the car to go out on a date to the rent for the place you both have sex in.
Most likely, you will also be the one paying for more things in the future like his or her child from a previous relationship, a family trip, bailing him or her out financial problems, or paying for medical bills. Disagreements will occur about money. If you or partner is in control of paying for most things, you might eventually act prideful and disrespectful about all of what you are doing for this person.
2. Sex happens either too much or not enough and when you bring the topic up your partner is nonchalant about it.
The likelihood that someone will be tempted to cheat emotionally and/or physically is probable.
3. A partner is either inconsistent with employment or works way too much.
He or she has issues with staying employed or works alot. This will definitely cause problems when a mate is not addressing the problems while wanting you to be more understanding, patient, kind, etc. You have a life too and when you agreed to be with this person you thought there was going to be some kind of benefits; instead you have a parent child kind of relationship or lack thereof.
4. You know you will have problems and more problems in the future when he or she is often talking about disagreements one has had with others (family, co-workers, friends, etc.)
Sooner or later that tough exterior you might have (or your mate) will turn on you. How much cursing, name-calling and yelling can you tolerate?
5. He or she is not a kid and or pet-lover.
Whether you or your partner has children (plan on having them) or a pet, if this person is not interested in animals and kids or don't really love or like the ones they got, you most likely will have issues that will affect your relationship if you should choose to have either or bring yours into the mix.
The problems previously mentioned and others can be dealt with by using healthy strategies to mediate and resolve conflicts. However, if one or both parties are not in agreement, then the challenges will only increase over time leading to an unfortunate break up, or if not that, a long-term dissatisfying and troubled relationship.

In Every Date One Sees a Family Member
It is time to take a long break when you see a bit much of your daddy, mommy, sister, brother, uncle and others in the people that you date. What is happening are familiar spirits at work. You are attracting the people that you may not want in your life. Dysfunctional relationships with loved ones tend to spill over in intimate relationships.
A daughter has daddy issues, a son has mommy issues, and all have issues with other loved ones as well. Think of those you dated in the past that reminded you of someone and why things didn't work with them and why they are still not working with the person you are currently with possibly.
We focus on those positive things that make the relationship and dismiss those that don't. So if you respect, admire, and love a trait in someone, it would make sense to seek that. However, what some will do is receive all that is wrong and negative with someone because he or she reminds them of some things they experienced growing up. They enjoy being on familiar territory. Therefore, the mind will sooner or later be triggered with negative emotions too from yesteryear and in time one will resent the person who reminded he or she of the past if there are still unresolved issues.
Family members can be a great lens into what might the future hold, but what they aren't supposed to be are our future partners in others. When we see a pattern in the kind of people we are attracting, it is then that we must stand down. Take some time to examine your choices readjust your thinking and experience some healing for those broken areas in your life.
Here's to your dating success!
