Well then you’d never have a long term or life long relationship. It’s Disney to expect the whole happy ever after , that isn’t real , people get all messed up thinking if it ain’t perfect it ain’t right but that’s also fiction. Part of learning how to ‘Be’ in a relationship dictates that at times it will be challenging and take sacrifice and compromise but getting through it together and growing more as a couple is the reward !!!

There is also the fact that life is hard personally or as a couple and having a partner beside you to tackle it to with you and support you can make a huge difference.

no, if I truly cared for her then I'd try ways to fix the problems. I'd actually listen to her concerns and evaluate her feelings and work to the best of my abilities to set things right again. Every relationship has it's ups and downs, that's just part of being together as a couple. Its the effort that makes it special, not just a throw away relationship that wasn't worth the time and effort to maintain it as one or both of you used it as a convenance rather then a serious commitment to one another.

Depends on the situation. Does "hard" mean like abusive, or just like paths potentially diverging? I'm not going to drag out a relationship if we both need something different in our lives, and definitely not if the person was abusive, but I'd like to think I'd work hard to keep one if it's do-able without harming either party. (ex. considering long distance or moving, but not permanently giving up major goals or values)

That really depends on what the rough patch is all about. Honestly, if you are willing to pack it up for anything that challenges you, don’t expect a long term relationship ever.

Finchie40 · Answer

No, the only way I would leave is if she cheated on me or she treated me like absolute shit , but if things got hard because of financial reasons or family emergencies etc, I will stay by her side no matter what. Partners’ are supposed to have each others’ backs no matter what , when it comes to things that you both have no control over life is filled with curve balls, why it’s best to find someone that wants to be your team partner , not
Your enemy

Avicenna · Answer

A lot of people do. It may or may not be the best course of action.

Benjiman19 · Answer

Not a chance. When things get hard, it's the best time to fix yourself and the relationship. If you don't have the effort to push forward in those situations, then how will you ever find the love you both want for each other? It's the best way to bounce back later on and not only strengthen your relationship but also strengthen your love for one another.

To just give up or give in puts you back to square one with going on dates with people you don't even like or know. When will you meet the next person you click with? It's like having a few pieces of the puzzle left and then completely wrecking it.

How will you know it isn't going to work out for the better if you don't even try?

My mom and dad are currently going through some really bad financial problems. My dad was laid off, back in 2016, when trump took over (thanks trump), and my mom was hardly working. I wasn't working either because i was dealing with some hospital stuff. Anyway, he wound up not finding much work for a long time, and so, now we owe IRS a bunch of money, probably until they die, due to that. So again, thanks trump

I finally found a job, and moms working a second job, just to try and pay it off.

However, even through all this, they have found a way for it to work between the two. on the 17th of August, it'll be 39 years for them

It depends on the circumstances. Your update... if it can get worked through I'll do what I can and I trust him to do the same. He's a good man. I never went into any relationship expecting things to only go well, that's for fairytales. Movies. This is reality and life can hit you pretty hard. If you and your partner each do not put in the work to Make it work, you don't deserve each other and you're both better off single. Relationships take work.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

if I create a relationship it's not to give it up on the first hiccup. Relationship is hard work on myself, on us, on learning my lessons and doing things better, so we can avoid hard times...

Anonymous · Answer

I don't expect any relationship to  never  get hard at any point, so I definitely would not break up with my partner over any difficulty rather than working through it. But of course it's more nuanced, since it's gonna depend on what the specific difficulty is, and how much the relationship means to me.

Twalli · Answer

If you'd end it if things got hard you're not interested in marrying him. Things in my relationship with my girlfriend ate getting har. Nothing with us, things are going great with us, but everything else is getting hard. Yet, we're a team and can help each other through it.

false_prophet · Answer

“Honestly, I would.” Said the dishonorable c*** Imagine having this outlook on relationships, hypothetically no less not even in the moment. I would say god help our society, but god is dead.

HelpfulWoman · Answer

depends on WHY they're hard? We got shared debt but we've sorted them out with payment plans. it could be described as being hard for sure.

Sunnysunny123 · Answer

No i wouldn't, life itself is not easy and we face challenges almost every day, i don't expect a perfect relationship or a perfect partner if he is willing to work on it with me i would never leave.

Minky17 · Answer

No I won't end a relationship bc things get hard. I will end a relationship if I'm constantly disrespected, physically harmed or my health is put in jeopardy.

paledreams · Answer

I guess I remain single so I don't ever have to 🫡😋 life's hard enough for most folks as it is aka I mean demands, work schedules, errands - life's busy lol 😆

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Depends on my partner, if he is willing to compromise or not. If he won't work with me then yes I am out.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I try my hardest to keep relationships alive.. Once I accept it is over, then there is no going back from that for me.

Account · Answer

Depends on what they did. If we continuously fought or if he cheated yes, for sure.

avery58 · Answer

Depends. If it can be worked through, then no.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

There would have to be some pretty foundational problems for me to end a relationship simply because things had gotten hard.

Juxtapose · Answer

That would really depend on the very specific context of the situation. Are we struggling because of money? No problem. Are we struggling because she is treating me like shit? No deal.

MrGSpotHer · Answer

No I wouldn't unless is like abuse or cheating something like this.. and by the way I always thought almost all girls loved it when it gets hard they enjoy the challenge

DopeTurtle · Answer

Define hard? It depends on the situation and the people

LiamJHayden · Answer

Depends upon why. Hard because she was being a nonstop PITA, yes. Hard because life blindsided her, no.

Yannae · Answer

No, it's expected for things to get tough. Life isn't all happy all the time.
