Depends on the circumstances of the situation. If someone is going through a life crisis, and their judgement is impaired to a certain degree, you can either A: Be there for them to help them through the situation....or B: Decide to look for greener pastures....There are many different factors you have to consider when it comes to "waiting" on someone, or deciding that they are worth waiting for. If, in your heart, you know that it is a losing battle, then you are better off walking. If, by chance, you think there is the slightest chance that things can be worked out, you stick.
That's all irrelevant though, because the person in question will decide for or against you. So it working or not working really depends on whether or not they want you, not whether or not problems can be worked out. Only they can work out if they want you or not.
All you're really forced to do in that situation is sit and wait like a piece of meat. Of course I understand this logic if love is involved, but love makes you do things that aren't too smart.

As you stated, love makes you do crazy things. Sometimes these crazy things are not to smart, but sometimes these crazy things are just what you need.
Reasons why Relationships Fail:
1) Personalities do not mesh- initial attraction is what sparks most relationships, but it can be unreliable and short lived. When you actually get to know the person, u become aware of thier pros and cons (towards you). Sometimes you may not be able to handle a certain aspect of their behavior/personality, or vise versa.
2) Sexual Boredom- physical attraction is just as much a part of a relationship as emotional/mental/romantic attraction. When the lust/libido dies out, due to sexual boredom, or lack of sexual spontinuity, the relationship may feel more like a chore. If the intensity of sexual desire/orgasm decreases, and the partners cannot find a way to make sex exciting again, one partner (or both) may begin to lose interest, and abondon the other.
3) Passion/Apathy- perhaps better linked to my first example, sometimes passions die out. Sometimes one partner is extremely passioniate while the other is not, and sometimes either both partners are too passionate for one another (which causes fights, heightened sensitivity, or aggravation), or both partners are not passionate people, and the desire for one another isn't that strong.
Pretty much...if one partner feels more in love than the other partner, chances are that relationship will not work out.
4) Money- especially with independent couples, money becomes a HUGE issue...i dont thnk i need to go into this, u all understand.
5) Religion/Culture- sometimes one's own racial or religious or cultural background determines thier opinions, choices, and behavior, and these can sometimes cause friction between couples of contrasting origins. An ability to get over one's own self, and accept the other is highly needed in this case. One's personal sense of morality ALSO kicks in....
