Usually, if we encounter people like this, we give up on them, but there are some who are patient enough to deal with people like this. These people who do their best to love a difficult person are driven by love. “Hard to Love” is a story of a man who knows that he has been a burden to his girlfriend. He is aware that his behavior is causing pain to his girlfriend. However, his girlfriend tries her best to understand him. She always gives him a second chance and she does not give up on him.
