Wow, lots of excellent responses.
I agree with those that point out that marriage is a completely different ballgame than a dating relationship. When you get married, part of what you agree to is to 'put up with' and work through a lot of the issues that would make you just give up in a dating relationship.
I just wonder if sometimes we might give up on - and encourage others to give up on - a dating relationship that could still be repaired and work out very positively with some effort.
Of course, we all know and have heard of people who've stayed in relationships that were clearly doomed for far too long.
So I'm not saying that the prevailing TFP opinion on these threads is wrong. I just think maybe we, as a community, might want to think about a more nuanced approach to these posts.
