Hey there ladies and gentlemen of the internet. What's your breaking point in a relationship? For some people, it could be early on and within a few texts. For others, it may be years down the road of their relationship, where the little things just build up to an intolerable point. For others, their threshold may be completely different, and they may tolerate poor treatment for a lifetime. It's all relative. 

For those who like to travel, there's only two options: by road or by plane. It's insane to think about the fact that we actually soar through the air, to think that mankind has lifted ourselves to the heavens, that we touch both the bottom of the ocean and the deliquescent clouds in heaven. Human beings really are incredible, but we don't always have the grace to be grateful for our position, and ultimately just complain about the flight now having WIFI. 

Read the full story below to hear about a couple that met their boiling point.
