How much can a person really take in a relationship?? From my previous experience I would say it depends on the person. I took alot from my ex mainly because I was in love with him. Do u really think a person can say I would never do this or I would never do that?? I dont think a person should because really dont know what u might do unless u are in the situation.. I use to always say i would never do this or that.. but years later i did everything i said i would never do.. i guess it depends on the situation on how far it can go but i know one thing when a person is fed up they are fed up

I was also hurt before by someone i loved and trust my life. And i let him go when i feel that i need to have my self respect back. If he cannot respect me...then i need to respect myself,and that gives me enough reason to let go. Now i am happy and gain my self respect and freedom. welcome to mylot

I can say you can never tell what you have to do unless you are already in a certain situation like you said. oftentimes, people who are in love are blinded by their emotions that's why they can't see what is the best thing to do. They are so overwhelm by the feelings that they tend to ignore and overlook some important aspect in a relationship. But eventually, as time passes, true emotions will surface especially when trials come up in a relationship. That's when you weigh things over and decide if you have to let go. Thanks!

I think some decisions need to be taken as per the situation(s). Those decisions cannot be decided before hand. Sometimes, you may decide not to indulge in any relationship, however, when you find a suitable person, your heart may change and you again find yourself having fallen for someone.

The solution of this predicament is quite easy. When there's no use holding on, then it's time to let go. Unfortunately, it's better said than done. That's why most people suffer from their unworthy partners.

we cannot tell when is the right time to let the person you love go , yes it really depends on the situation. I can relate on this topic because before i broke up to my boyfriend i promised to him that no matter what happen we wont give up each other but time goes by i decided to broke up with him he was rally mad at me because i never stick to what i had promise at him. Its really hard for me to keep my promise because of the situation and sometimes we to do this and that so that the person will like us and it also depends on our mood.....i think so

It took me no time to get over my ex and to let go. I was so tired of breaking up to make just to break up again. What really set it off for me is when he got mad at me because I wouldn't do something he neglected to do and he called me every name in the book. I said enough was enough and I don't deserve to be treated or talked to like that. We knew eachother for 7yrs but barely lasted a year. I was single for 14 months and when I least expected it, the man of my dreams fell into my heart. Im happy with my new man and im not even friends with my ex, we're in 2 different cities miles apart and I hope to never cross his path. I knew when I couldn't shed one more tear over him, I was done

yes it does depend on the person and it does depend on you too. but as they say never let someone become so necessary in your life that its hard to let them go. my partner believes in this philosophy but I disagree and feel then there is an invisible wall that wont let you ever become one with each other and separate you some day. Who proves corrected only time will tell but as far as I know you can't live your life being emotionless and at times its hard to let go, only time heals such wounds and nothing else. give it fair time and do not be in a hurry someday you might look back and feel that whatever happened happened for the best. I hope I am making some sense. Because when I say such things my partner tell em I am crazy.

It simple like this, Don't ever promise if you know there is a possibility that you can't do it. Never let your partner expect for nothing. It's better to say "I'll try" (if your not that sure) then he/she feels a little hurt than saying "Yes, I promise! I'll never do that or do this." then he/she wil expect you because of what words he/she hold on to what you've promise, If you fail for that he/she would get hurt so much.. Think of it which is better. when the time comes (hopefully not), atleast you don't feel ashamed and guilt to yourself. We as in a relationship. we always hope for a good things to your partner. Just stay honest and build confidence between you and your partner then everyhing will be fine.
