I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this. Deb Caletti
About This Quote

In a relationship, there are disagreements and arguments. There are also the ups and downs. When a relationship gets turned up by degrees, it means that the relationship will never be perfect. It is always going to contain highs and lows.

The frog in the boiling water analogy is a metaphor for a relationship that you should not stay in too long. If you stay too long, you will become a frog that will eventually boil or be boiled to death.
