Relationships are probably one of the hardest things to get right.
  And about the time you think you've got it right, the whole thing blows up.
  Why is that?  Is it worth all the trouble to try and save a relationship?  There's the games.
  Yes, they all swear they don't play games (men or women), but they do.
  It may be a grand design left over from some primal mating ritual, but that doesn't  you a lot of good at the present time, does it? Relationships take work.
It's not something you can really let go for a certain amount of time..
..
unless you really have a true partner in the relationship.
  Someone who will truly stand by you.
  That means if you are living in a mansion and then wind up in a relative's run down rental.
  It means going to the doctor with you when you don't know if it's going to be good news or bad news.
  It's knowing if your kid is going down the wrong path that they will help be your eyes and ears.
  It's knowing they won't turn tail and run like some scared puppy-cute, but nothing you can really count on in a pinch.
If you truly know yourself, what your limits are, what you can and cannot live with, that's at least half of the battle.
  Once you know that, then you can work on saving a relationship.
It will take the road it will take, and you will be a stronger person no matter what the outcome.
