When do you know when to stop trying to fix the relationship and just move on? We still like each other, but have been experiencing very turbulent times

I agree with this. I was in a similar place - had asked this question but still powered through. A year later we broke up.

But again, what happened to me might not happen to you. What does your gut tell you?

That’s a hard place to be caring about someone while things feel consistently turbulent can be emotionally exhausting. A relationship is usually worth continuing to work on when both people are genuinely trying, taking responsibility for their part, and there’s still a sense of safety, respect, and forward movement even if progress is slow. Conflict by itself isn’t the deal breaker many strong relationships go through rough seasons.

We are trying… but we both are aware of her childhood trauma that’s been a big hurdle for us… so trying to manage that has been very difficult

You do realize you get closer durning turbulent times.. not farther apart.

It’s all about balance and time. When a relationship is suffering from imbalance it’s best to put it on hold or separate temporarily, give some time for both of you to heal and replenish and at the right time, you’ll both reintegrate. Don't force the drought period, it let run its course. Reality is dictated by cycles. When something is up it’s up and when it’s down, it’s down.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities?

On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating.

I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
