I think my relationship's probably been through it all. Death in the family. Feeling distant. Growing apart. In the end we always seem to find a way to work through our differences and get back to a close relationship. What are some of your stories that your relationship has overcome?
What's the hardest thing you've had to deal with in your current relationship?

For me something that seems to be running rampant in my relationships is that people find it hard to take a moment to really understand me. I know I am not the easiest person to understand, but I would love it if they did put in the effort to work on that aspect and eventually we would work things out.
Right now my girlfriend and I have been going through a tough time due to a job loss. I was laid off some 6 months ago and the hardest part of the whole thing is the fact I've been able to find "work" while my girlfriend believes I've been lazy and unmotivated. I found a great paying job that involves doing yardwork for a private family. It's been really enjoyable and stress-free (coming from the financial office world). She is upset because she thinks I'm selling myself short and in a "go no where job". At the end of the day I'm making good money and paying all the bills - yet she isn't satisfied that I am not back in the corporate world working my way up the ladder.
It's not enough to ruin our relationship - but it's definitely been the toughest thing we've had to deal with.

For me it was telling my girl that I had cheated on her and then making it all up. I 100% regret what I did and I could never not tell her because of the guilt.

I am currently involved in a long distance relationship and so there are many barriers that me and my boyfriend had to overcome. But as they say, only those who are truly committed and patient enough to work it out will endure a set up like ours.

Her insecurities kill me! I am trying to adapt to it, but sometimes it can get really annoying. Nonetheless, I love her, so I will do my best for her to feel comfortable and secure whenever she's with me.
Nothing there is no current relationship.

This is easy, it is when I found messages that my girlfriend (who lives 400 miles away) was chatting to men on Facebook who were desperate to meet her for sex, she never met any of them, but she DID flirt with them and encourage them.

NOT being afraid to pass gas in bed.
Out daughter attempted suicide this year, about 8 months ago. She has been in and out of hospitals ever since. She also has other health issues. She is 16. It has been very hard on us. Very stressful. Scary. Sad. Thank God I had him to lean on.
I really hope that your daughter finds the help she needs. I can't imagine what you must be going through.
Poor girl, it's hard to think that kids that should be enjoying and discovering life, want to end it instead. I hope you are not alone with it xxx
For my wife and I the hardest thing in our relationship is to "not keep count". How many times have you done the dishes this week? Well I did this, so you need to do this.
Those feelings and words are not healthy and sometimes we have to sit down as a couple and talk this out and come to an agreement to erase the slate.

Tendonitis aka tennis elbow.
Sad really.
Sad really.
I'm very sorry to hear this. I hope things get better for all of you real soon. Thoughts and prayers sent.
His lack of trust, and he being so honest and open about it; it feel like he was stabbing my heart. Worst part is he had no reasons not to trust me, but he rather listen to his family who know nothing about me. I was mad at him tho, he's 30 years old and should know better. I know this is the tip of the iceberg tho, this promises to be one of the hardest relationships for me, mostly because there are so many test on the way (I'm sick right now and have been for the last 2 and half years). I don't quite believe my boyfriend when he says he'll stay with me forever until the end...
Trust and communication is definitely one of the hardest things in a relationship. I've been married for 9 1/2 years, and we still go through these issues. I would recommend a couple's counselor. These issues won't go away on their own. I hope for the best for you.

The hardest thing I had to deal with in my current relationship is the tension between my husband and my children's dad. He was a dead beat, and my husband stepped in and raised my children. The other guy had always tried to hurt the relationship between the kids and their step dad, which made the two men not get along. I wish he would have just left the kids alone and let my husband do the things that he could have, should have, and would not ever have done for the kids. Instead, he tried to become their friend (after they were grown) to get them away form their step dad, succeeded, but then started to treat them like crap, so you know what happened. They came back to their step dad and disowned their biological one and its been that way for 2 years now. They finally seen that the grass was not green on the other side as they thought it was when they were growing up. We tried to keep them from the hurt we knew he would cause them but they had to see for themselves and now they regret giving him a second chance. Their step dad did not get mad at his now adult children, but told them to keep moving forward with life and relationships. Don't back step to something that was bad for you.
Some couples may be able to overcome infidelity, financial challenges, health concerns, communication issues, cultural differences, long-distance relationships, and even big life changes like relocating to a new place or having children. What matters is that both couples are dedicated to resolving their concerns, talking freely and honestly, and supporting one another during tough times.
