Relationships aren’t usually as simple as they are on TV. There are things that come along to complicate even the most solid of relationships. Life is enough of a test. Jobs, family, circumstances, loss, and money… these are all surefire wrenches in relationships. You could be sailing along perfectly in love with each other, building a life you enjoy living together, then boom, one of you gets a job offer that requires them to move across the country. What are you going to do then? Or say you just moved in together, and one of you is suddenly laid off and the other just got promoted. Do you still split the rent evenly on your one-bedroom, or does one of you start chipping in more? For how long?
These types of questions send even the healthiest couples into a tailspin. And if you’re on the rocks, it can be the final blow of a relationship gone wrong.
