Should I stay or go?

[Anonymous]

So me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 1/2 years and we’ve been going through a really rough patch lately. It’s been mentally exhausting on both of us but we love each other and we want to be with each other. How do you know if something is worth it or when it’s time to let go?

[Guy13]

I get that you do not want to rehash all you have done at this point. Has this rough patch been a steady sort of stream or the last 6 months a total flood of confused feelings?

[Asker]

It’s been a total flood of confused feelings

[Guy13]

Not quite settled down for the New Year? If you leave it is a different kind but same intensity flood, right?

There is no one right answer to this because every situation is different. If you still want to be together, than maybe try couples counseling.

When one or the other is done and giving up with the relationship. As long as you both still love each other you can work things out maybe go seek help

So why haven’t you both sat down and promised to have a mature grown conversation about what is in the way? No yelling, no arguing, just talk?

[Asker]

Yes we did. We talked about what we needed from each other and both understood. The relationship has gotten better but there are still obstacles

[kylee2437]

I think it just depends if you see both of you overcoming these obstacles and if these obstacles may or may not impact your future together. I’ve been told to make a pros and cons chart for my past relationships, I recommend you do the same

If I have been with someone for 2 and a half years u would assume that shows I care enough to try and fix a rough patch
