In my life, I have had the opportunity to meet different people and observe their relationship dynamics. I have noticed that about 90% of couples seem to live in conflict, characterized by frequent arguments and emotional tension. Although I do not have access to their intimacy, it is evident that despite the arguments, there are moments of affection and closeness, such as cuddling and enjoyable sex. However, since I cannot see these moments firsthand, I can't say this is 100% true.
What strikes me is how women often appear very frustrated and furious, while men respond to their accusations with anger and raised voices. Shortly after these conflicts, I see them smiling and laughing together. I ask myself: why do they live this way? Additionally, those men who do raise their voices after a conflict are often considered more "masculine," and women tend to follow them.
On the other hand, I have noticed that about 10% of long-term relationships (LTR) are much calmer and show no drama at all.
I wonder if this difference is due to women, who in more serene relationships seem to be less dramatic, or to men who do not create or react to conflicts.
My curiosity focuses on how these 90% of couples can maintain a true intimate connection despite their difficulties. I can believe that the 10% have found the key to a healthy relationship, but what about the rest?
I think understanding the essence of a healthy and functioning relationship is crucial because many men here are on their way to improvement. We want the "right" woman, not the "broken" one. Therefore, we must know if we are acting in a way that attracts the latter and correct our behavior to become better men who can filter for the right woman.
This question is serious, so it is preferable if you all keep the discussion focused and respectful.
