There could be hope yet.
Bob Marley once said, “Everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to
find the ones worth suffering for.” Marley may have been a total
womanizer, but he's got a point. In long-term, truly intimate
relationships, some level of betrayal
and hurt is almost inevitable—whether your partner lies about quitting
smoking or has a full-blown affair. So perhaps true love isn't about
finding someone worth suffering for, but rather finding a relationship
that's worth putting in the effort to repair.

“You’re not doomed to split because you’re facing a specific issue,” says Samantha Burns,
a licensed mental health counselor, relationship counselor, and dating
coach. “Certain issues are more challenging to overcome, but the success
or failure of the relationship is determined by how you cope with the
issue.”
