Time to call it a day

A lot of my partnered friends seem really unhappy with their relationships at the moment. However, even though things are obviously not working out, they keep trying to fix it. Everything goes well for a while, but sooner or later the same problems keep emerging. When do you keep trying and at what point should you just give up and call it a day?

I wish it could be as easy as that and have someone inform me, "look, you're being quite silly now, how many times have you forgiven, call it a day you FOOL" etc. Maybe it is the comfort factor. You've been with the person so long, you don't want to hurt the other person, it is tiring to fight so you just make do with the temporary fix in order to avoid a greater mess.

12 months ago I would have said call it a day sooner rather than later. If it's something that really can't be sorted out and it keeps coming up again and again you have to honestly consider what's keeping you there.

Definitely give up if you're shouting at each other all the time.

I agree with Evangeline about the "comfort factor". A lot of people seem to stay together just because they get used to it. Sometimes being unhappy seems to be easier and less stressful than breaking up. At least in the short term anyway.
