Relationship with the people that surrounds ones life, especially with those they have close ties with, affects them more than they could possibly think of.

Co-dependency is a term that can be heard common these days. It is often associated with alcohol and drugs and the counselling that goes along with drug dependents. A codependent relationship is defined by the codependent who, in the case of alcoholics, is the partner that tries to save the alcoholic from alcohol and themselves. However a codependent relationship need not be confined to the relationship between an alcoholic seeking guidance from a counsellor.
We've all heard of the story of Mary Kay Letorneau, a former middle-school teacher now a registered sex-offender that had a romantic and sexual relationship with one of her students. Since then, several other teachers have been charged due to relations they had with their students. It's considered taboo for teachers to have any romantic relations with their students, especially in the case of Mary Kay and others because the children involved were just that: children - minors. But is it still taboo if the parties involved are both consenting adults such as in the case of a college student-teacher relationship?
Long distance relationship's biggest dilemma is the big question "will it work?" A lot of people these days just don't believe in the words "true love" and "soul mates" anymore, given the extensive `in-and-out-relationship' scenarios such as divorce and affairs, the buzz about "forever and for always" simply seems to be something for the fairy tale books and not reality.

Throughout history, women have played the submissive partner between the two genders. Before, women were seen as nothing, as Napoleon once said, `machines producing children'. But over centuries, with several protests about women's rights, feminist protests, and the gain of society's female-role acknowledgement, gender roles no longer plague women. Today, women can be seen outside of their homes working alongside men. Equal footing in the work force is one thing, but how about relationships? How does society view a female led relationship?
I've come across several funny relationship quotes and found some interesting oddities. If a male was quoted, he'd be putting a woman as the antagonist.

Below are a few quotations and some corresponding views on them.

All through different relationships that people come across with in their lives, there are always those in their past that did not work.

If you could, would you trade your arms for a pair of wings? If you could, would you rather have a cape than a successful career? But birds probably wouldn't have any use for our arms, and Superman has a bustling career along with his cape. So if your partner is miles away from where you are, you could either live with the distance, or live without him.
"Take my advice, I'm not using it." Indeed, nothing is harder than following one's own advice. It is so easy to tell someone what to do, but you can only understand their reluctance once you are faced with the same situation.
Now and again, people in love and those in relationships encounter times of confusion, and when this happens, they look for something they can instantly relate to with the hope of discovering and finding answers on why things are happening the way they are.
