Tough times don't last, tough people do.

When the going gets tough, the though get going.

Life is full of challenges. What you do to over come them is up to you. You can lay down, and blames others for why your life is hard. OR you can stand up, band together and fight, knowing your partner has your back till the end.

I've been having a tough time lately. (its not that horrible. I don't love my job, but I'm trying to make do until I find something else) I'm trying to stand and fight. I'm looking to my partner for support. I'm starting to feel like I'm fighting alone. I try to talk to him but he doesn't want to talk about things.

What hurts is I'm always in the trenches with him. If I have to fight alone, fine. What I don't want to do is be fooled into thinking I can count on someone when I can't.
