It depends on what's at stake


Well for us - I don't think I would have been able to do long distance if there wasn't a deadline. I like that there is an end date to this. On the other hand, I think some things need to flow more naturally and come what may
the only deadline I need is time until we live together - I couldn't get by without it

Depends


I think they can be both. But no deadlines in our relationship. Just enjoying him and what we have.


I think deadlines in relationships would be brought on by fear and not love -


Damaging. You can't put a deadline on relationships things should happen naturally and not be forced


Depends on what and why really


They can be both damaging and healthy depending on how they're used


creo que depende de la sotuacion pero serian daninas cuando se agrega presion a la decisión, probablemente no se pueda tomar una buena decision bajo presion


Las fechas limite no siempre son lo mejor, pero a ella le gusta poner una fecha límite para tomar decisiones


I think that they are healthy, but they never get me and my boyfriend anywhere because he thinks deadlines are too much pressure and just gives up.


Yes


yo creo que en algunos momentos son saludables por que ayudar a la pareja a relajarse cada uno y pensar por su parte que es lo mejor y que es lo que esta deteriorando a la pareja



Yes but I usually give up


Yes and no. Depending... Pushing someone to their limits until they crack is also unhealthy
