Does it take a lot for you to leave a relationship?

Question

I am very patient, but I know when it is time to leave and move on....

Answer 1

It can be very difficult.
Sometimes we're embarrassed by what people will think. "We told you so!" Hate to hear it.
Sometimes we're so attracted we don't want to let go.
Sometimes it's about "what might have been".

I feel for you, Honey. Take some time to grieve, then get on with your life.

Answer 2

I always think, would I like this guy to be the dad to my children? All the crap he is putting you through will get worse as time goes on. Then if you happen to have kids with him...he will treat them the same way and they turn out with the same traits. People need to start being more selective and move on...You deserve better. Don't stay in a relationship out of fear they will do something to themselves. That is crazy! He needs professional help

Answer 3

I didn't use to....when I was younger and I wasn't smart enough to leave a physically abusive relationship (marriage) and then the next was an adulterous relationship (marriage), by the time the next relationship (marriage) came around, I wasn't as patient, I threw him AND his belongings out into the garage, called him and told him to come get them.

Answer 4

yes, change is hard but you can overcome it. change has to deal with the physical, psycological, financial and spiritual.

physical restrain your self from doing harm to you or anyone and use the energy to be productive in things that you like or need. go swimming, exercise, sports activity. some kind of physical distraction to take you that space that will now be empty of touching them, hugging /kissing, intercourse. this is called compesation.

psychological: you are used to that person because your minds build you a magnetic attachment and sometimes it is lost when you grow far far apart from each other. when you love someone you brain has elevation of biological chemicals in your brain that lets you feel pleasure ( endorphins) and if you feel these everyday for years you become addicted. thats why love hurts so bad because you acutally withdrawl from not having the high known as love. this is where you have to be mentally strong and stick to logic because love is nothing but illogical. logic will guide you. remind youself why you are leaving, write it down and put a goal that you want to accomplish for example go to college and become a doctor, painter, model.

financial: you will find yourself with less money because it is just you. you have to depend on you. you can do it. apply for aid if you need it and even if you don't use it for 6 months and get off of it. don't be ashamed because it is helping you get independent of yourself.

Spritually you have to talk to god and let him guide you. you and him will figure out what to do .

good luck and I support you.

Answer 5

I am usually a step behind when a break should be made, because my biggest fault - I guess - is to try and repairs the tattered sails on the ship instead of swimming to shore. But I don't look back when it's time to finally dive into the water and make that swim.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

It does take a lot for me to leave a relationship--I am the kind of person who feels horrible if I make someone upset or sad.

Answer 8

I would say so, I don't let the small petty things ruin a relationship, but the big things will automatically end the relationship. I don't have to worry about ending a relationship ever again. I found my soul mate :)

Answer 9

Not when I was young but now being I have aged and became wiser, I am in a very stable relationship and it would be very hard to leave.
