Additionally, in relationships, staying committed during challenging times can depend on various factors, including personal values, communication, and a belief that the relationship is worth working through rather than seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

Understanding the "why" behind someone's actions can help us empathize and connect with them on a deeper level.
