Introduction
They have a partner who is not doing well. He can be emotionally or physically disturbed or both. He is not giving much and moans about his complaints. It feels like a heavy load to carry. In the beginning they do that with love but after some time the burden becomes too much for them. Out of responsibility they cannot leave them, so they go on, with sorrow in their heart. They have to keep the relationship going, there is no way back.
They have a tendency to avoid the problems instead of facing them. The tendency exists to glide over difficulties, with attempts to stay cheerful, find diversion, or reach for stimulants like alcohol and drugs.
There is a forced cheerfulness externally. They hide their sufferings, even though suffering internal torment.
