lifestyle as we all live in a different society. Therefore, developing a
relationship can be very difficult, due to the differences in our lifestyle and
intellectual level.

relationship cost us financially. Maintenance of a relationship completely
depends on reciprocity such as exchanging gifts, attending parties and
functions which can cost an individual financially.

different culture, different value and different beliefs. These differences
play a vital role to develop and maintain a relationship. An individual may
fail to develop a relationship if they do not have sincerity to different
cultures, values and beliefs.

Psychological factors: A relationship development and
maintenance processes depend on an individual’s mental capabilities. Participants
conduct and mutual toleration are very important for developing and maintaining
a relationship. Stress, anger, ignorance, avoidance and many other types of
human psychological behaviour can breakdown a relationship; also stress, anger,
aggression, suicide and other types of psychological behaviour can occur, due
to breakdown of a relationship.

ability play a huge role on developing and maintaining a relationship. An
individual may not be able to develop a relationship with others due to their
disability or other medical conditions that affect their physical ability. Even
if an individual become fortunate enough to develop one, they may not be able
to maintain it, due to the lack of adaptation of lifestyle between
participants.
