A relationship worth saving

In a relationship, we sometimes go through major problems...and sometimes we say and do the worst things to each other. We even got to that point where my partner slapped me in the face. And I got to that point where I almost gave up. But I'm still here, with him. Because I know this is worth saving. How about you guys, if come to that point where the worst is already happening between the two of you...when would you know if that relationship is worth saving?

If my partner gets physical with me, i would never ever accept him back. That has always been my rule. Nobody has the right to hurt me physically, most especially slapping. I just can't tolerate that. I don't know why i have this notion that i value myself higher than anybody else. So if my partner would try to demean me then it's just goodbye. I would easily give up everything.

Hi! You have a point to make and I appreciate your point. We should save a relationship, as much as possible because it is difficult to develop, nurture and cultivate a strong relationship. It is always difficult to 'create' or 'compose' something than to 'destroy' it. I do agree that bitter experiences are part of any relationship, however, we should take those bitter incidents on our stride and should not think of severing the ties due to infrequent incidents.

I think its really going to be up to you. and then that is when you know about when or what to fight for when it comes to your relationship. We all go through stages, we go through tough times, important is how you both deal with it, and not how ideal your relationship is to others. it is rather impossible to find a perfect relationship but it is not possible to make the relationship strong as it should be.

forgive me, but violence is an automatic deal breaker for me. if he has slapped you in the face then what next? a shove, a push? it's nothing right? that's what i thought. i know couples who have gone through a lot and have done alot to one another, but they keep their hands to themselves. nothing can be salvaged once there is domestic violence.

Every relationship is really worth saving, but it really takes two to make it a whole. Surely major or minor problems would arise in any relationship, but being able to surpass those would surely keep the bond tight more than ever and will be able to survive through the course of time.
