Oftentimes, if you stay in the ring long enough….you get tired of holding your hands up.

VIDEO: What do you do when the one you love can’t seem to hold down a job and do their part to maintain the financial stability of your home? It’s a difficult space to be in when managing a family on minimal income and even more difficult when you know it could be better yet you and your partner can’t see eye to eye on how to get there. While this couple is not married, this young lady is at her wit’s end and says she doesn’t know how much longer she can do this. This is a rough space for any relationship to endure. What’s needed is healthy communication and tough love honesty. Without these two ingredients the relationship is vulnerable to downfall.
