What are you getting at when you say, "Calling it quits"?
I've gone through enough "mental torment" in the latest chapter of my bout with depression and anxiety to choke a horse.
I was hospitalized 5 times last year, 2 times this year. I was kicked out of treatment for making a minor outburst. I was told I had a criminal mind, was a robot, incapable of human compassion by a "top" psychiatrist, put on mediaction that almost stopped my heart (and the hospital didn't believe me when I complained of chest pain), bullied by more psychiatrists, blamed by my sister for her shitty life and how I was going to make it worse with the likelyness of her having to care for me someday.
This from April of 2005-present.
Then there is the problem with neighbors riding ATV's all day...had to get that stopped...worked very hard with police; e-mailing, docmunting/computer stuff.
I also have Asperger Syndrome, so I am constantly dealing with social situations and getting into trouble, making inappropriate comments, becomming overwhelmed. Also, since it is a high-functioning form of autism, I have the sensorary difficulties. I was dragged out of the shopping mall in Feb. for an outburst, and have been (re)house-bound since.
I've had enough mental torment to not only choke a horse, but the whole stable.
All this without treatment...couldn't find any until very recent.
I've attempted suicide about 5 times in the last 10 years. What made me stop was the realization that I might not go to heaven. Everyone assumes if they kill themselves they will go to heaven. Who says? Who knows?
I'm calling this round, anyway, "quits" by refusing to give up and move on. My support team feels the same way.
Just in case you were entertaing the worst, I've listed a few sites below.
I hope you found what I had to say useful. If not, keep reading. Hopefully someone will be able to help.

Mental Torture is a state of the mind. If what you are referring to is love - then an outburst can not be called Mental Torture. If it is a continuous series of outbursts then there is something to worry about. The person who is being mentally tortured - obviously loves the other person because he or she is bearing the torture so far. The other person who is the torturer is possibly no longer in love or alternatively has not received what he thought he deserved or noticed an abberance in the other. Take a piece of paper. Do what Col Cathcart did in the book "Catch 22" i.e. count the Feathers in your Cap and the Black Eyes you have received and given. Then decide whether love is reciprocated or not. If you then feel it is over - then Adieu .....

It depends what you mean by mental torment.
One is already too much.
And also, it depends on the situation too.
For the 1st or 2nd time, ok, he has a bad day, I will be nice then, etc. But 3rd time, this has become a tendency, now this is really a mental torment in my sense. Therefor I will start to be 'reasonable', told him that he should stop _____ without sounding like yelling at him.
Or I just walk out from the place to give both of us a time out.

one should never have to endure and mental torment. and should call it quits immediately before it causes any other mental or social probems. tell the person who is tormenting you to stop. also, talk to someone else so that you don't keep all that emotion bottled up.

You should never take mental torment from anyone Connie. Sometimes mental abuse is just as hurtful as physical abuse. No one deserves to be treated like that!!! Good luck to you!

By calling it quits I hope you don't mean suicide. That is NEVER the answer. Today is temporary, situations and people change. Change is the only thing in life that is reliable.
Remember, suicide is a permanent response to a temporary situation!

It depends on who is doing it.....to a point.
Ask yourself if it's really worth it. I put my husband thru hell because I was very insecure due to a bad relationship that he got me out of with my ex.
He took a brutal amount of emotional crap....but he stuck with it and went with me to counseling.
He says that it's worth picking up the trash to see the beautiful floor under it.
In other words, it was worth helping me with my issues because he knew a good " normal " woman was under all the issues.

None! None at all!
Call it quits. There are 6 billion people in this world. There's not enough time to date them all.

If you cannot handle it go to a hospital and get some in patient therapy...nobody is allowed to call it quits, some just choose to be selfish and do it anyways.
