| I was with my ex for 3 1/2 years and we were engaged and things ended up falling apart. I tried and tried to make it work. No relationship is perfect but how do you know what to except as ok? There were trust issues, money issues, health issues, and family issues but I still tried and tried and felt as though no relationship is perfect so don't give up. When and where do you draw the line?

| I was with my 1st husband for 8 years and after 5 years I stopped trying. I felt like I was the one wanting the relationship and that he didn't. Relationships are work and it's not 50-50. Sometimes it is 70-40 where it can be 70 for one partner one time and 70 for the other partner another time. Communication is one of the biggest breakdowns of a relationship. Once that is gone then things will disolve. Can't have a relationship without willing to work as a team.

| You dont know. Unless both of you work equally and except each other for who each are from the beginning, then obviously no matter how hard you both try it will end up falling apart. I am the type tho, even if I know it isnt gonna last, I will try and try and try and try and yeah try some more! Im always the one who gets broken up with and I always beat the hell outta myself afterwards for not seeing the big picture.
