  What if I support them but they aren’t willing to support me?
context: Depends on how big their issues are and how much they offload them on you, of course. Some people become horrible people when they're struggling. Or turn to alcohol or drugs and become obnoxious and repetitive. Or turn up at your house at 3am with a 10ft tree they've dug out of the ground and expect you to be happy about the tree, get annoyed that you're not happy about the trail of mud to your door,  or the tree really,  and throw a chair at your computer and break your new speakers. >
  
  Would you just give up on that partner after witnessing them at this very low point? >
  
  Ha no, though i probably should be the kind of person that would, but I would expect a proper explicit apology and recognition of the upset they caused me. >
  
  Dealing with people who constantly have issues can be exhausting. You are forced to deal with your own issues and that sucks, but they are choosing to stick with you even though they don't need to.  This shoud'nt be taken for granted.
