BUT Muslims don't give up. They just don't. They have faith. And faith does magical things to a person.
BUT at times giving up on someone make sense. Because actions speaks louder than words to put it simply. The "attitude" that drives you up the wall is there to test your patience.
How patient must you be if the person does not take extra effort to change? How long must you swallow and how long must you weep in silence hoping for something or someone to change? Maybe yes long... The Prophets peace be upon them all -- some waited hundreds of years.
Acquiring patience is a skill. I don't have the skill and have yet to master
"O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful."
I have not persevered. How can I expect anything from Allah I ask myself...
Well one thing for sure is that anything which befalls a believer is good for them. I believe that. VERY much. For the hadith states clearly
Wondrous is the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him.

How amazing is that. How wondrous is that.
And that is how I will choose to live.
I will add sadness, anger, shame, regret, tears here and there for I am a human being.
But at the back of my complicated, passionate mind I say to myself...
It is all good

لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ
خَيْرًا لَهُ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ
