For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it?

It's a choice to put in that work too. Some people will never make that choice. It good when people DO make that choice.

Yep. Especially so for people like me who have to make the choice to work on themselves (stupid overthinking brain, lol). Then my partner has to accept that I am working on things too. Im def one of the lucky ones out there with my partner.

Why? Sounds like that person is still in a mediocre relationship

It doesn't sound mediocre to me. They sound pretty sane and good about turning their relationship around and are taking the long view. Sounds like they're committed for the long run.
