Ways We’ve All Tried To Cover For A Bad Relationship - Page 7

Have you ever tried to cover for a bad relationship?

When it comes to love, most of us have found ourselves trying to make things work even when they clearly aren’t meant to.  Sometimes the gamble pays off and we get through a rough patch without friends and family advising us to end something before it’s really over. Other times, we find ourselves faking the funk for longer than we should even when the love is gone.

We’re not saying that trying to cover for a relationship is always the way to go. We just want to know if you’ve ever found yourself in these situations. If you have, were you able to get over a rough patch and make things work, or did you just delay the inevitable?
