Neither is an activity I'd describe as a fun time.

So what are the signs of a relationship that is good, healthy, and worth staying in? Goldstein says that if you and your partner spend time discussing the future together, have met one another's friends and family, have similar morals, ethics, and goals, and accept each other — flaws and all — then you should probably try to work things out.
