In reply to joao. Perfect! Just say, "sometimes I give in" if it's an ongoing habit.

Three times a week I have to get up early and go swimming, but sometimes I gave in and stay in bed until later.

Staying up late is not good for your health. So, the children gave in and went to sleep.

Great example! With “harmful”, we use the preposition “to” – “I know cigarettes are harmful to my health, but I gave in and smoked one last weekend.”

My New Year’s resolutions included stopping drinking, but I gave in and had some beer during the carnival.

In reply to Henriette.

Great example! Often we say “give in” + “and” + “verb” like this:

“She gave in and saw her boyfriend again, although she knew it was a dead-end relationship.”

Also, “dead-end relationship” is a very good term – good job

In reply to Roberta.

Great example! I am 100 percent in agreement. A few small wording changes for you:

“After lunch is a very good time to take a nap, but sometimes it’s not possible because of work. However, there are days when this nap is essential. So, I give in and rest for a little while.”
