Relationship

End a relationship that's been struggling for over a year

Long-term — 3+ years
Context

We've been together 4 years. The last year has been more bad than good — repeated conflicts around the same things, a growing sense of distance, and attempts to fix it that haven't stuck. I still care about them. I'm not sure if I'm giving up too early or holding on too long.

Goal

Work out whether this relationship has a realistic path forward, or whether I'm staying out of history and fear of starting over.
