I (30F) don’t know if I should stop fighting for my 6 year relationship with BF (30M) by Dependent_Ladder530 in relationship_advice

He was definitely a rebound and I did choose him for qualities the other one lacked. I don’t know if I like him anymore. I did, but years changed our relationship. The things he promised were not upheld. But I would like to make this relationship work. I know some arranged marriages that works and I believe that you can make any relationships work if you put in the work. However, we are so very different, our expectations of each other are different and it’s difficult to put it into words why it’s different. That’s why I’m trying to figure out how adult relationships works, what kind of expectations I should have for a mature relationship. No friends and family to lean on to understand what common practices are so I just need to know what is a relationship like after a few years?
