My post is probably too late, but may be helpful for the next relationship. Nothing about a relationship predestined to either fail or succeed. I also dislike the word chemistry because it implies that relationships fail not due to real/practical issues but, rather because it lacked some sort of chemical reaction.
As you observed, successful relationships require a deep connection which, in turn, requires authentic communication. Given the stress of life, long term relationships require hard work. Unfortunately, no one is taught relationship communication skills until a relationship is on the brink of disaster ..... at that point, there can be so many hurt feelings that the skill is lost on the current relationship. My point is that how partners relate to one another can change if they learn how to communicate and understand where and why the breakdowns occur.
There are a plethora of relationship books and I suggest that you read some. It will give you an entirely new skill set to apply to your next relationship.
