When you are in a relationship, it is only a matter of time before your relationship will be tested in different ways.  One of these tests is the “how do you handle intense situations” tests.  When things get tough, do you get going?  Do you step up and help thorough the crisis?  It begins to show how close you two are and how well you know one another.

A friend of mine is worried about her relationship after her boyfriend handled her recent health scare. Tom told her he hated hospitals but she thinks he is not good under pressure.  She didn’t feel supported and now she is questioning if they should stay together.

Have you ever dated someone who had a hard time showing support in tough times? Would you consider breaking up with someone if they had an issues with this kind of thing?
