Why are people so quick to move on rather then trying to fix there relationship with the ones they truly love?

Mean why are we as people so stubborn and hard headed. I mean like my situation me and my ex are soul mates and distpite it all I know that we still have feelings for each other but it's like why do people lose the fight inside?

    Because of our generation. I'm serious, we have things like facebook and twitter and it makes us so self centered. We're also a very lazy and selfish generation so when things get tough and we have to work at it we give up. It's really sad. If you guys still have feelings for each other than why aren't you together? Relationships take work. They don't just happen. Love is a verb, not a noun.

    Honestly, I think people don't have the guts for longevity anymore. There was a time when people bought a house and stayed there until they could pay off and burn their 30 year mortgage. There was a time when people retired from companies with 40 years under their belt. And, of course, they celebrated their 50 year anniversaries together. Essentially, people saw the value in working toward something. They understood that life is hard and that the bumps in the road are meant to make you stronger. Now we're encouraged to trade up, that waiting and working is settling and that we should always be happy. There's no waiting, not saving for, no working toward. If instant gratification isn't found, we move on.

    It is fixable if both parties want it to be fixed. If one person is doing everything they can to salvage the relationship and the other person does little to nothing, the first person is left to either be unhappy for the rest of their life or check out of the relationship (since the other person seemingly has already). Being in a marriage means that sometimes we have to change some of our ways because we love the other person, but most of the time we always expect the other person to change to our way of thinking/doing and not have to change ourselves. This causes resentment and bitterness.

    Because sometimes it takes too much effort to fix a situation in dire straights and most people find that if someone especially a loved one has betrayed them why stay with them. It's not losing the fight as much as saying I do not want to stay with you.

    Source(s): Reality. Not every man or woman is dumb enough to stay with a spouse that cheats on them!

    In a successful relationship, challenges are seen as opportunities to grow and change and become better people. Spouses accept each other conditionally. No one is perfect and this is accepted. Each one helps the each to face challenges and grow. Mutual acceptance is the key.

    However, there comes a time when there are no more challenges and stagnation sets in. Each becomes frustrated and seek challenges elsewhere. In this case, it's best to move on and find happiness elsewhere.

    Many times, two people just aren't right together. And no matter how much time you spend "working" on things, it will not change that.
