Ending a relationship

In a marriage, I understand the need to stick it out and do everything possible to make it through

But in a relationship where you’re not even legally or religiously bound…why put up with so much?

I’ve heard many times throughout that the engagement period is supposed to be the “honeymoon” period…so if the relationship already has so much drama at that point, whose to say that things will change after they’re married?

To some people a relationship isn’t much different from a marriage, it all depends on the people involved and their mentality. You truly have to be compatible from all angles to one another to have such a strong relationship and make it work. So it doesn’t matter what happens (cheating/ hitting/ lying/drinking etc.), both partners think 1000x before getting out. Of course this can only work if both are cooperating, not just one doing all the work.

Now the 3 points which you listed above, are minor if done once or twice. So not worth ending a relationship/marriage. But if any of those 3 points are continuous habits, in a relationship OR a marriage, it’s a major problem. And the “victim” should get out asap.
