I read something the other day that put a lot of things into perspective for me. We tend to put our relationships on a pedestal expecting someone to be the perfect person for us and to have all of their "ducks in order."
But can we hold ourselves with the same accountability? The realisation sunk in that no one is perfect and never will be. We are all only operating from a form of awareness that we are equipped with in these precise moments.
Take into consideration the traumas and embedded programmings that we are all dealing & healing with/from on a daily basis. We unpack our expectations onto someone when we don't even meet the ones we set for ourselves. That expectation is where we trip up on ourselves.
Our expectation is us putting responsibility in someone else's hands to provide us with something we want/need from another person. Realising that we are only responsible for our half of the dynamic and what we do from that awareness is in our own hands.
That's not to say that we should stay in something that is "toxic" and/or unhealthy for us. Again, it is in our hands to take accountability and responsibility for our own half of the relationship.
However, people are going to mess up, people are going to hurt us and we are going to hurt them at times. It is inevitable. We are all human just trying to manage from different forms of awareness.
Relationships in all areas in my opinion won't ever be easy. We are not all on the same path/journey.
As long as we are committed to working through whatever comes our way with respect, love, understanding and a want to grow. That should be what matters.

Again, this does not mean to stay in any unhealthy dynamics that are severely damaging to your own wellbeing/path. But knowing when it is time to walk away and go in seperate directions is key also.
