This is what I'm referring to. Have we gotten to the point where we assume something is amiss because it is so easy?

Both parties have already solidified mutual interest and a relationship. Here just aren't any complications or a single misstep. Is it natural for someone to assume something is amiss simply because nothing is wrong?

Now I understand.

For me, nope.

I am very happy being single, so if I feel like my relationships adds any ounce of stress in my life I end it. I give a few chances, ask what's up and if it doesn't change I am done. In my eyes, a relationship should not be work. You should enjoy their company and be similar enough in personality to really enjoy each other.

My last few relationships were not like that, I was unhappy and ended them. I stayed single for 6 or 7 months until I found the girl I'm with now and am really happy. Luckily for me I ended things with the other girls so I could have the chance to meet the one I'm with now. If it can stay the same for 2 years I would get married, if things go south I would break up with her and not think twice about it.

Most of the men I know as well as myself, it's just as simple as maybe cook dinner once in awhile and sex us up. Why that is so damn difficult for most women to do, I have no idea.

If people grew up with chaos that is what they are used to, anything else is not "normal" to them and makes them uncomfortable.

I agree. Once met this hot honey about 2 decades ago. She was abused by her father, abused by her X, and a dear friend said to me, "she won't know what to do with you". I didn't understand, so I asked him what he meant. He says, "She has always had abusive and mean men in her life, you're too good and she won't know how to deal with the unfamiliar" He was right.

The first couple of years we had a few minor issues figuring how our relationship would work. Then things settled down for a good number of years. We hit another rough patch when deciding to get married, but mostly everything was pretty easy.

If things are too difficult, the relationship is not sustainable.

On the other hand, if one partner is solely subverting their needs and wants to make the relationship "easy", that relationship in not sustainable either.

What say you?

Is there such a thing as too easy? That it may make you question (I'm not questioning for the record).
There is no such thing as "too easy". Easy isn't a bad thing. However, if "easy" is coming about as the result of one, or both people, not voicing their concerns and silently putting up with a situation that makes them unhappy, then yes, there is such a thing as "too easy". People shouldn't suffer in silence and put up with something until they no longer can, and then just leave. Issues should be dealt with as they come up.

I have no idea where this is coming from lol.

Must be one of those threads where the OP can just get dates/laid/whatever at basically the drop of the hat.

Must be nice to have it that easy.

If you mesh together well yes it is easier.
