It’s no secret that relationships, especially those that last for years, come with a fair share of misunderstandings and arguments. However, most of these clashes can be easily avoided or at least resolved in a mature manner. However, not everyone is capable of this.

This is exactly what happened to this Reddit user who was quick to share the drama for anyone to advise him on what he should do next.
