Has someone ever left your life just because you did something really insignificantly small?

Question

Do you constantly put up with someone, then the moment you give them just the tiniest reason to judge you, they're gone forever?

Answer 1

Yes, people are like that because they were looking for a way out the whole time, they just weren't strong enough to make the break on their own. I had an ex-boyfriend who was always on a high horse and very difficult to deal with, just very demanding of my time and always wanting to try to extert some sort of control over my life while I knew nothing about his life, since he lived in a town about an hour away. He was a typical Virgo - very critical. As soon as I caught red handed him in several lies he high-tailed it because he said he was tired of me "accusing" him of stuff. What a piece of work he was.

Answer 2

Yes. This is something that has always bothered me about my life. I am very forgiving. I mean if I love you and I want you in my life regardless of what you did to me, I pretty much forgive, dont get it twisted, I dont forget, but I do forgive (i dont throw it up though).Then the slightest thing will go wrong or someone will just get sick of the relationship and break out. It hurt me more than one time and it makes me think that I should have been the one to end this a long time ago when the person did whatever. Relationships of every kind are so difficult to keep as you grow older. In my eyes, when I was a teenager I had more friends than I could count, now as a 31 year old grown woman, I can probably count on 1 hand how many people are my friends. You live you learn....

Answer 3

Yes, but it was just a friend of mine and it was time the relationship ended - we were moving in two different directions.

Although I still felt betrayed, because I did not do what she accused me of, and it made it seem like the split was all my fault. It was her excuse to get rid of me because the direction in which I was moving was more positive then the direction she was moving.
I guess she felt it better to be the one on the attack so she did not have to feel bad about her own poor circumstances - she did not want people to see her as the one who was on the "down and out". In reality, I was sad to see the friendship end but I realized it was necessary because she was becoming a drain on me.

Answer 4

Anyone who cannot accept critism is denying himself room to grow. Obviously they regard you as a threat and that is why they're gone forever. Don't let them get you down, remember, you are the one that is growing and developing your social skills. Never allow people to knock your principles and morals. Stand up for yourself.

Answer 5

I have one friend that comes to mind - of course we aren't friends anymore and maybe I could have prevented it.
