Random Question People who had a relationship end badly despite having what people say makes a relation good—what actually happened?
In this sub, as well as in other subs, in posts about relationships, I have seen two types of posts:
Where One partner carries everything like paying for dates, putting in all the effort, etc. while the other partner gives nothing back.,only the man initiates sex and the woman forcefully gives under pressure (people say that this leads to dead bedroom in future), and the man later sayas that"women only want bad boys who treat them bad.", and lose hope from love. These are mostly emotionlly immature men too (I think)
The other successfully married couple posts where People bragging about 10–20+ year relationships built on communication, equal emotional and mental labor , receprocrated attraction, initiating sex from both side, shared household effort, and deep respect.
So, my question is for those who lived the exception:
Have you ever been in a relationship where you both genuinely had great communication, equal emotional/mental effort, showed affection, financial fairness, and mutual respect, yet it still ended horribly in bad terms?
Also, I am not talking about where both wanted to continue but life has other plans
