What I have noticed as one of our biggest pitfalls is that we are overly irritable, reactive and hypersensitive when sleep deprived. I find if I get some rest I can let something go that seemed like such a deal breaker the night before.
I've gotten a lot of good advice over the years and the best advice has all been pretty similar. You are in control of your happiness. Nobody can give it to you or take it away. You make what you want in this life and that is especially true in relationships. If we are in a relationship that doesn't make us happy, leave. If we are in one that does, give it our all.
