I tried to move out once and I made it to the pay phone 5 blocks away, called him and came back home. On the other hand I have had long relationships that were hard work. I felt like I was so in love at the time. I went back to this one guy a million times. Moved stated 5 or 6 times to be with him, just to break up the next month. It went on for years. In the end, I realized we broke up the first time for a reason....getting back together never changed that reason. No matter how many times I tried to make it change the reason we broke up, it was always the same. You can't expect people to change. Sometimes they do, but for the most part you just have to figure out if their flaws are something you are willing to deal with.
Totally agree with you.. love shouldn't be hard at all..

And I also agree, I think if you have to break up that first time thats a huge sign that there is a problem.. I was engaged once, and there were several occasions that we would get in fights and he would take the ring back. And in the end I looked back and was like he gave me that ring because he wanted to be with me forever, someone that wants to be with someone forever doesnt take back the very thing that is supposed to symbolize that. If there are ever doubts in a relationship that you should break up or that you would be happy with someone else IMO thats a clear sign that its time to move on
