I need opinion or advice please!

What will you think if a person you've known for almost two decades is not really the person you thought they are?

What will you do if that person is continually giving so much pain and stress to the other person you know?

What will you say in order to at least make things lighter/bearable around the two of them?

 

The truth is i found out something regarding that person and what i've known will definitely hurt the other one.

More truth is, i've already known about it still way back in college but decided not to tell the situation to anyone.

Because back then i was only thinking that it was just a phase where that person wanted to try things out on their own.

But now it turns out that it was not just a phase.

and it was done continuously over and over again.

 

That person is the partner of my love one.

i've known that person since i was a mere child.

i grow up with them seing how love never really chooses any form or status at all.

and most of all i learned from them that love is unconditional.

 

To say that i'm mad is not really the case.

I can't even feel any anger towards them.

I'm just.... more like.... feeling disapointed.

I have the right to feel that right?

 

I don't want them to break up.

But from what I see that person is not doing anything at all to make things right at all.

I just want to see that person to atleast make us trust them once again.

But sadly I can't see nor feel that.

And all i get to find out are more dissapointment rather than assurance that they will be fine again.

 

We might have a very complicated family.

But a family is family.

You don't get to choose the one you should be in.

You can't leave when the things get rougher and everthing gets harder.

You stay and try to get things right together standing side by side.

 

I want to see the want, the need, the reason to stay in their eyes.

(2/2) For the most part, I would stay out of it as much as possible since it's their relationship and in the end, only they can change anything. But I would have a chat with your loved one about this and offer them moral support. If they do break up, you'll have to be there for him/her. After a breakup the two will naturally want to get back together right away because it feels right, but that's the time when they need time away from each other the most. It helps the two identify who they are in relation to who their ex-partner is. If they don't break up then they should be able to be honest with each other and talk out their problems to come up with a solution. Since this seems like something that's been going on for years, it might not be done overnight, but with enough effort, I believe it can be worked out.

(1/2) I haven't lived a day in your shoes so I don't fully understand the situation, but from what I can see is that the two people you're dealing with are in what a lot of people tend to classify as a "toxic" relationship. If there's no trust, a constant strain, a feeling of being drained whenever the two are together, violence, slurs and/or passive aggressiveness constantly being used then the two are in an unhealthy relationship. If it's hurting them more than helping them then they shouldn't be together.

Most people will stay together longer than they should just for the sake of being together or because they've known each other for a long time and are attached. (I'm guilty of this.) But regardless of how long they've known each other, if there is mistreatment between them or if it's becoming one-sided then I'd suggest that they take a break. They don't necessarily have to break up, but when two people are together for a long time, they begin to develop a tolerance to the other person and eventually things go downhill. Taking a break is taking healthy time away from each other so that they can have leeway to decide on if the relationship is good for them or not. In normal cases it could be a week just so that you're not spending every waking moment with the other person, but in this case, I would suggest about a month or two.
