I hate my girlfriend's parents because they are rude to me when I visit them. I have tried to be nice, but it never works. What can I do to get them to like me?

Ask your girlfriend why they have a problem with you and, if their reasons are frivolous, avoid meeting them until they accept the idea that you're in their daughter's life because she wants you to be.
When is it okay for two people to get a divorce? My wife and I have been together for a year now, and not a month has gone by without an argument that ends with her leaving and going to her parents' place. I have repeatedly begged her to stay back and resolve whatever it is that is bothering us, but she doesn't, which makes it hard for us to ever move on from these issues that crop up like clockwork. I am considering therapy, but she won't even agree to see a professional. If she isn't even half as committed to being in this relationship, why should I do all the hard work? Is it fair? I don't want to end it, but this can't continue and I don't think she wants it to either. Is there anything I can do to convince her to take this more seriously?
I think you both need to think back to why you decided to be together in the first place. Marriage is something that needs to be worked upon because it changes things, irrespective of how well two people who are dating think they know each other. Every marriage has its share of teething problems, which is probably what you and your wife are experiencing. These can last a few months, or a few years. The best thing to do is, as you point out, approach a professional and get counselling. It isn't something I can comment on, because you will both need to value this relationship enough to arrive at this decision together.
