In my opinion, not really. I’d say “and become stronger” definitely not.

If it does survive, it’d be for the same reason anyone persists in a less-than-ideal relationship: messed up attachment style or circumstances.

They’ll probably be unhappy, but if they’re too scared or otherwise unable to leave that person for whatever reason, then it continues.

I guess one kinda exception would be a scenario like this: The relationship begins with a slight A and slight B, and this continues for many years. It eventually flips, and there’s a lot of unhealthy C behavior as a result. However, as tends to happen in relationships, they realize after many years of arguing that they’re not actually going to split and in general the passion dies down, so the fighting loses its edge. They still bicker and stuff, but they made it to that point of the relationship where everything just becomes less emotional, so they’re able to endure the hierarchy flip for the rest of their lives.

This is all just my observations and thoughts though. What do you think?

And thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed reading it.
