Hi @yungchief! Thanks for this post. I enjoyed reading it.

It's very true that these days a lot of romantic relationships do not last very long and the reasons cited by you are definitely some of the biggest factors in the failure of a relationship. As you have mentioned, trust lies at the very core of a relationship. Once broken, it's usually very hard to fix it.

I think, jealousy comes from a feeling of inadequacy and insecurity. You tend to fall into this trap when you don't feel happy and self-satisfied and self-confident. So, once you understand this and start working on your inner self then it becomes easier to do away with jealousy.

Also, the ways that you have mentioned to avoid relationship failure are all very meaningful and pertinent. I feel the following two points can help further fortify a relationship:

• having deep conversations right at the very beginning of a serious relationship wherein you share about your own temperament, and
• giving hugs and kisses to each other every now and then. This can be very healing at times.

Thanks!
