relationship..??

Sometimes I wonder:

What does relationship really means and how does it really work?

Are we in the relationship because we like our partner's characteristics and personality? Or are we in a relationship because we are able to come to terms with out partner's not-so-pleasant characteristics and personality and can actually love them for being whoever they are?

I've seen a couple of cases where they are just smitten with their partner for the first couple of months (or years in some cases). But when things are going the other direction, they started to act like a complete ass and just treat their partner with total disrespect? When that happens, I just smiled and thought to myself. What happens to the old saying 'every problems has its own way out'? I believe that if they stayed long enough to actually solve the problem together, instead of just quitting and leave, they would've made it (remembering at how they used to adore each other).

On the contrary, I've also seen cases where they just grow to love the person even more, together with their hard-earned understanding towards their partner. Understanding their partner's unbearable bad ol' habit and not trying to change or discourage their habit at all!! And when bad things happen to the relationship, they can actually look back at how they used to love each other so much and treasure it enough to believe that there's something in the relationship that worth all the effort and patience.

To be honest, I used to be the girl who complain a lot.. about every little thing. But through time, I learn that those habit that used to pissed you off so bad can actually make you miss them when you loose it. And at some point, you just wished so hard that you could actually experience it again.
