How many times have you asked yourself that in relationships?
^^ I think everyone at some point or another goes through a stressful time in their lives and questions if the relationship they are in 'is it worth it?' It's how our brains work out problems, by asking questions/sorting through emotions and facts. I don't think it means it's time to jump and run, but allow yourself to really look into why you are asking yourself that. Do you have a lot of stress around you? Does your SO help with those stresses or add more??
True Love is ALWAYS worth it....
How many times have you asked yourself that in relationships?
If you're referring to your earlier post about having someone move in with their spoiled brat of a kid and you having to pick up both the emotional and financial tab ---> then you've answered your own question: NO!
Is it all worth it?? Sure, who hasn't asked that question. However, the IT can vary for each person is IT illegal drug use, alcohol abuse, financial ruin? Or is IT bickering, messiness, laziness or apathy? No matter who you are, relationships have ups and downs. We all get frustrated, and say things we don't mean. Heck, we may even think things we don't mean. However, most of us can tell if it's worth it, and while we ask ourselves the question, we really already know the answer. If you don't know the answer, and have to ask someone else...then deep down, I believe you already know IT isn't worth it..
I think sometimes it is. Every relationship has ups and downs. You can't always just give up because things get crappy, and it can be hard to know the difference sometimes between we're just going through a tough time and this relationship is really bad for me and I need to get out of it.
That said...love doesn't conquer all. I'm not bitter honestly, but I really believe love just isn't always enough. Sometimes there are circumstances that prevent people from being together. In the case of your other post I'm not sure it will be worth it for you. If you're not crazy about this woman's kid then to have this kid live in your house and you have to share in parenting and financial responsibilities day in and day out, then no, I'm sorry, but I don't think your love for this woman will be enough to overcome that.
I think it's a question of for how long you're feeling that way. For short periods and at long intervals is one thing. Questioning it daily or even weekly is a sign that it's time for things to change.
