How do you know when to stay together?

How does one know when a relationship is good. How does one know when its time to break it off for one reason or another, or many? How important is the physical? How important is intellectual compatibility or humor? I wonder these things when my relationship is off.

I think at times couples in our community might be likely to fall into a sibling like relationship - maybe more so because we don't have the positive role models to be like. However, divorce rates are testament to the fact that relationships are not easy.

There are statistics about separation impacting finances in a way that is irreparable for those in a longer term partnership. That couples who stay together are just more financially sound and stable over their lifetimes. I can see that - a larger extended family to rely on during the tough times, among other things.

Oh, I certainly have no answers. Please share about your long term relationship here. Share what you think works for our LGBT couples, or what has just worked for you.
