Nikki Sahagin Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 My ex has basically stated that the reason we broke up was - STRESS. We were too much stress. Now if you love someone - they are WORTH stress right? I mean married couples, work around jobs, children, hobbies, friends, holidays and survive the stress to stay TOGETHER, because that person is worth it right, so if someone leaves you because of stress, then the love isn't strong enough right?
NiceGuy4Ever Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Well I feel stress is a pathetic excuse. The reason is if you have a lot of stress you usually will rely on your partner whom you LOVE to go through it together. The Love seems may not be Love, because it was apparently not able to withstand the stress. Hope this helps.
Exit Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Stress can be hard on a relationship, but true commitment will get through these issues. If you're in a relationship where someone "needs a break" every few months or whatever, that's not a good sign. Life is going to be stressful sometimes. You need a partner who is there with you.
Thornton Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 That depends - if your SO has a lot of stress already and you're causing additional stress, you can expect them to back off from the relationship. If you're supportive and you're making things better for them then they are likely to stick around... but if you're pressuring them and being demanding and monopolising their time then they might think they can't handle the additional stress of the relationship on top of their existing stress. I love my bf, and when he's supportive and helpful he actually eases my stress somewhat... but when he pressures and nags me I just want to back off, because I have enough stress to deal with already without getting additional stress from him.
