I constantly argue with my on and off partner of three years

I constantly argue with my on and off partner of three years, we always get back together but presently I am worn out by the whole drama and my question is can we ever make the relationship work? (Maryann – email. Lagos.)

Thanks for sharing your problem. It takes most people who in your situation a very long time to analyze their relationship so for you to seek counsel is commendable. Stating what you argue about would have given us a clearer picture about the situation of things properly but be as it may two things are obvious. First you don’t communicate well enough with each other; secondly your relationship involves point scoring with neither wanting to back down. It could be you are simply incompatible and this can cause rows, or other hand you need help improving.
