Not looking for breakup stories… genuinely curious about the ones where things got really dark or difficult, and you found a way through it together. ​ What made the difference? Was it timing, a conversation, therapy, space? And looking back, did it make the relationship stronger or just more complicated? ​ Would love to hear from men specifically on this one.

​ I was having coffee by the beach and old couples playing like kids, which sparked the curiosity that given their age, it’s inevitable to have a difficult point at least once… and nobody knows about it, unless asked, maybe? ​ My elders taught me to pick a partner based on if they will be a team mate during the worst days of your life. So far, I have handled most of it alone, so handling it in a partnership is a pretty new concept to me. I’d like to hear your success stories ☕ submitted by /u/EmployExisting302
