Deciding to stay or go is a question that many people ask themselves when times get rough in a relationship. At the beginning it starts out magical. The two people are in love , and nothing else matters. A woman sees her prince charming and the man sees a fat rump with heart shaped butterflies. Then both people wake up from this falsified dream and find themselves in a situation that they're unhappy in.

Couples have to ask themselves if they're truthfully happy or if they just stay in fear of moving on to someone else.

Honesty can be very painful , but lies can prolong living with some one that he or she no longer loves. Lack of communication is the first sign to step out of the door.

All hell broke loose. The conversation began normal but then both of them began arguing. The next minute beer is being thrown across the bar and my friend Laura took a cab home alone.

Other times, its desires that go unfulfilled. For instance, a man comes home from a hard days work and finds his woman in wrinkled pants with holes in it. She doesn't look pleasing or even try to do anything special for him.

So in return, he begins looking at other women, imagining that his girlfriend will dress like them and not like a janitor. Relationships are work.Despite how tired or lazy someone becomes he or she must continue to look appealing to their mate. In this case, the man or woman will most definitely leave or begin to cheat.

A cheating spouse gives someone another reason to abandon ship. Forgiveness is good but to stay disease free is far better. To betray someone that you love for ten minutes of lust simply isn't worth it in this day and age. It is a game where at the end everyone
