According to Shakespeare's Let Me not to the Marriage of True Minds, when one is in love you must admit your faults. It is not love if you cannot get through a tough time in your relationship.

If you feel that your love has gone astray, follow your heart; if it is meant to be, it will find a way back. Although no one can understand it, everyone goes the distance for love.
