Answer 1

He took away my dignity... I stayed
He cheated on me, I forgave him and stayed
He stole all of my savings... I stayed

BUT

Then I realized that my son could not longer live in that enviroment and that we had to go for our own safety, Then the white gloves were off.

I realized that he would never change and that life is too short to be misarable.

Answer 2

Sometimes that's a difficult judgment call to make--when to know that enough is enough. It probably varies in each relationship. But at some point, we all become aware that we aren't getting our needs met, that the other person will never (or is unwilling to) get on the same page with us, and it's better to face the way things are then to try and convince ourselves of something we know is simply not true. It's not necessarily instinctual, but somehow we just know when it's time to end things.

Answer 3

When he threatens your health(mental or physical), or your life or if you have kids you have to answer the same question about them.
Other than that if you are having problems you can either tackle the problem in counseling or do the easy thing and leave and take the problems with you to the next relationship. Until you want a great marriage you will have the same problem over and over until you go to counseling to find out where the problems are coming from.

Answer 4

I knew it was over with my ex when I just didn't care anymore. He often went out with the guys on the weekends, and I looked forward to being alone. When I'd get home from work and preferred to surf the net or play a computer game or watch television or anything else except have contact with him. When I realized if we were to split I'd miss his family more than I'd miss him. On the weekends he was around, I'd get annoyed. One night, after a particular doozy of a fight, I walked around in the rain for three hours rather than go home because I just didn't want to admit I was happier by myself than I'd EVER been with him.

Answer 5

It's never easy, but the way I always looked at it was by asking myself what I'd regret more - Leaving this person, or wasting more time with them.

If there's potential, by all means, explore it further. But if you've given it every possible chance and it's simply not growing at all, you're wasting valuable time you could be spending with someone you're really into.

Answer 6

Only you can make that decision. You will know. Taking, taking, taking.....unfortunately, we usually do this. Life is too short. You need to be happy. Don't stay because you can't leave because you can't live without him. Sounds like you already know your answer. Live life to the fullest.

Answer 7

It is hard to say without knowing what is enough that should be enough.On this url you can find the main causes of divorce:http://www.blinkbits.com/blinks/divorce

Answer 8

When you have to ask yourself that question and really have to think about it? It crosses all of our minds (I would assume) at some point. If you can't brush it off within a few minutes and realize it ain't so bad, maybe you should give it some consideration.

Answer 9

well, that's a tough question...since enough for me might be not nearly enough for you and vice versa!
do you mean:
"enough of this crap, I'm outta here!"?
OR
" I just can't get enough of my boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband?"
Basically, you just know when you have hit your threshold...No one else can really tell you
good luck

Answer 10

When the bad out weighs the good...life is too short to waste time being unhappy
