We’re in our early 30s and have been together for 2.5 years. When it’s good, it’s really good – we’re always laughing, talk about the future, getting married, planning a life together. But when it’s bad, it’s to the point of screaming and tears and lately, this happens on a weekly or every other week basis. How do you know whether to keep trying to make the relationship work or call it quits? I know everyone says relationships take work but how much work is too much?

You two are the reason couples counseling was invented. Find a professional, go sit down together, and develop some fresh conflict resolution and anger management skills.

That shit really works.
