“Should we break up?” It’s a tough decision for anyone to make, especially these days. We’re learning that things that were once seen as deal-breakers—like infidelity, infertility, mental or physical illness, and differing religions or political points of view—can be smoothed over if you and your partner’s values, communication skills, and empathy levels align. However, other chronic annoyances that are more nuanced and personal to your relationship, and things you may have once overlooked in the past, can build up layers of frustration, disappointment, conflict, and disillusionment. And thse are issues you shouldn’t ignore.“
