What is needed in a relationship to keep it healthy ?

1. 2 hours ago
I recently broke up with him as i was upset with everything that had happened.. and when i had approached him and told him everything he just sat there and cryed.. i told him to "argue" for us and "say something" i went to work and he rocked up with a bunch of roses and a letter him telling me how much he loves me... but he won't tell me to my face

2. well at least he got you the flowers no? he's trying to show you that he loves you [he got you flowers after you broke up with him] and that he cares so much [he actually cried when u said that its over].. its already a healthy relationship..both of you love each other..but each of you has their own way of showing it.. you didnt clearly show your problem though..is it that he doesnt tell you he loves you face to face or is it that he spends more time with his car? if its the car thing..well way to go girl..you did the right thing..no one shud spend more time with anything or anyone else than their loved ones..but am sure he loves u..perhaps u shudve talked to him about how u feel about it..if he remains quiet then u can remain quiet too until he opens up.. if ur craving for him to just spit out loud to tell you that he loves you well i guess you better give it time..talking about it would only decrease the quality of it..so what u do is-again-play him on his own game: just be quiet about ur own feelings until he says it out loud.. in all cases i am sure that there is love between you..so give it time and be a bit more patient..its worth it..but if he does nothing..well its up to you :D wise words spoken cheerz

3. having had relationship problems because of my garage time it always comes down to communication and compromise example would be to pick one day a week where he won't touch a car it's your day to spend together a guy won't give up what he loves if it's ment to be there is a way to make it work

4. don't take it personal. we are of the same but two different creatures. men do not and will not function the way we do. they don't talk as much as we talk. we can write a novel while waiting on a yes or no from them. it is more difficult for men to express their feelings to us. I recently listened to a man teach that sex does not pride a man as much as his work does. it was something I never heard nor did I know. Some men never realize the sense of their true selves, and that is why their manhood never quite seems to flow outward to those who desperately need them to grow up. You cannot change him by yourself. You can only relate to im as he is, not how you wish he would be. Offer him no pressure. Make room for him and encourage him as along the way

5. to keep it healthy would be absolute committment,monogomous,romanti... patience,humor,sharing similar interests,communication.
