After 8 years in a relationship, you’re still giving your all to make things work. But what if your partner isn’t putting in the same effort or sharing the same goals anymore?
Would you keep fighting for the relationship and try to convince them to stay… or would you choose to walk away for your own peace?
Sometimes love isn’t enough if it’s one-sided. What would you do?

In my opinion, people fundamentally don't change much. After 8 years you have to accept that this is who your partner is. Some of the pain points can be worked on with love to make them more tolerable.
You also have to recognize when someone is in a seasonal stage of behavior in their life or is this fundamentally how they operate. I've grown out of stages in my life, some took 5-10 years and a completion of learned lessons to find out if past life and emotional investments in this relationship start to pay off.
If you stay, you'll have to accept that things could possibly stay the same the rest of your partnership and be content with that.
