Empty Promises

What makes you think the person will change and keep up to their promise?

You cannot promise the unpredictable weather. Promises made and not fulfilled are the correct way of explaining empty promises.

A promise that an individual is not able to deliver is a disappointment.

Politicians make many promises but do not keep up to their word. Empty promises can break relationships with your loved partner or a friend.

''He promised to make a change and did not try hard enough to make that change.''

''I love my husband and he promised to never cheat on me again''

The above-mentioned is often mentioned but does not follow through for many people. She cheated on him and broke her promise.

· Why do you want to give the other person another chance to fulfil a promise?

Sometimes people know about their weak promises, and would still go ahead and make some anyway, just to make the other person feel happy.

A couple married for twenty years and the husband had made many promises to his wife, only to not keep these promises.

He does not keep up to his word of every promise.

Every promise made to my wife over the years has just passed by, and she did not ask about it anymore.

The woman chose not to ask about the broken promises.

She knew after the first few broken promises the rest would not be.

It would be a waste of energy to get into something that would make matters worse in conversation and their relationship.

He promised he would stop gambling, and stop smoking, he would not get into unnecessary debt or will try to enjoy himself and be relaxed. He promises he will be there when she needs him.

All of what he had mentioned did not come through for her.

She gave up on listening to his conversations and chose to live her way the way she knew best to keep that part away from her life.

It would have ruined her if she continued believing in someone who keeps on going back on his word.

People can make promises and break promises. The worst feeling of making a promise is when one is disappointed by the failed promise.

It can be heartbreaking if one believes the other will fulfil that promise especially when they have no intention of doing that.

Most individuals can promise you the world but will not fulfil anything close to that of their word.

Relationships are not based on trying to repair broken promises. Instead, making a difference is more of what a relationship requires.

Avoid making a promise you know will not be fulfilled that hurts others and you do not see it.

· Have you ever made a promise just to make someone happy but deep down you knew it won't be fulfilled?

Making the other person hope and wait for their promise to be fulfilled is a weak idea for any individual.

A person who makes many unfulfilled promises is a failure to another.

It is challenging to keep a promise.

Promises can be made by your close families or friends, the people you trust the most and believe in, they too can let you down easily.

It can be unpleasant for both sides.

You will not forget the experience easily, and it also hurts for a while.

· Are promises made to be broken?

Friendships are ruined when promises are broken. If you think this person will change and keep up to their next promise, think again.

The many excuses made about why the promise has been broken can go on and on.

· Do you think it is worth your time and energy to keep on believing in their so-called promises?

Focus on your weaknesses and instead of hoping for a change from that person get into a serious conversation and discuss it.

· How are you affected by the broken Promise?

Do not be afraid to express your feelings to the other person.

You may worry about losing the friendship you have with this person which can keep you from getting to the point.

· Breaking a promise in a relationship does it mean your partner does not love you?

· The person you are in love with is the person most likely to break promises to you. It sounds untrue, doesn't it?

· Did you ever think that the person who loves you the most would break a promise to you?

· Why does this happen?

When couples take their marriage for granted after many years together, they fail to see what really matters and tend to make promises and let go easily.

They get comfortable with their married lives or in a relationship and take each other for granted.

Making a promise is easy and not fulfilling it is even simpler to do. Just mention it and forget about it. Couples are driven by affection making them this way.

· For example, taking a vow how often is that promise kept?

Couples often do not get upset by broken promises. The only kind of people who keep up to their promises are the obsessive people, those who are uptight and go by the book.

The kinds of people who remember their promises made, and this has lots to do with one’s personality but not as much to do with love.

It is normal to do something nice for your partner.

Showing appreciation happens on the spur of the moment though keeping a promise can be the hardest to do.

You get held up with a conference or another agenda and the promise made automatically falls away.

You must not forget that relationships are not the same in any way. Couples fall in love with each other for what makes them unique.

No one can be perfect.

You can be the perfect person but not for many people only a few will find you the perfect kind.

Never sit down and compare your relationship to another, wrong idea.

Promise yourself to respect others and be kind.

A healthy relationship can break many broken promises.

· Mean what you say and avoid hurting the feelings of others surely you will not like it if someone disappoints you with a broken promise?

Open communication is best to get out what you feel about others.

· Promises are important and somewhat not important; however, would you keep your promise made to someone?

When you promise yourself something you have always wanted, and when these promises do not come your way because of certain situations, then you just have to live with it.

It is often not your fault!

You tried your best and it did not work out, or you failed to comply with your actions from other experiences.

· How many times have your parents made promises to you and have not kept up to their word?

You believed them and had high hopes, but nothing came your way and it broke your heart.

Be able to take responsibility and accept your act of broken promises.

All promises no matter how big or small still have a great effect on a person's mind if not fulfilled.

· What happens when a promise is broken?

You lose trust in that person and stop believing in them.

The continuity of the same behaviour makes relationships most difficult to cope with, and the same patterns fail your heart's desires.

No simple apology will make it all good again.

It takes time to get back on the right track of mind once your trust has been tampered with, nothing can be the same for you.

There are no perfect beings on this earth and promises made are meant to be broken.

If only you could understand it from your point of view.

Promises are meant when spoken of and are not always a good way to gain any relationship or friendship.

Personality trait plays an important role when it comes to making or breaking promises.
