YAGT: It's so hard to keep fighting for a relationship

[BigToque]

I've been with my GF now for 3 years. I feel that we are both very reasonable and mature people and yet because we're both so stubborn we have a lot of pretty big fights.

I really want this relationship to continue and I really want to keep working to make things better, but it's so hard.

After the fight tonight I just feel emotionally drained. It would be so easy to just say fsck it and call it quits, but I know it would be a mistake. I'm sure my GF feels the same because we're still sticking it out, always coming to agreements and conclusions even if we don't always leave smiling.

*deep breath*...

think of how miserable life would be without her especially during the holiday season

If a relationship comes to the point where its more work than fun is it really worth keeping?

damn dude that sounds like me and my gf. Both first borns and stubborn as hell

hey man. it seems like you really have something special there.

two stubborn people together definitely leads to some very intense/heated fights, but you just need to keep talking it through. the really good relationships, the ones that last, are the ones that do come to agreements and compromise.

although its draining now, i know you realize that you've made the right decision....
