grind on
Continue despite difficulty
Grind on means to continue relentlessly despite difficulty or tedium: The negotiations ground on for months.
The phrase suggests slow, laborious progress—work that wears you down but doesn't stop.
In a separate sense, to grind on someone is to press one's body against them in a sexually suggestive way, especially while dancing: She was grinding on him at the club.
