Have you ever had to tell your parents something that you knew they'd be upset and let down about. Or Have you had to break off a relationship. The hardest decision for me was splitting up with my partner and leaving behind a 4 bedroomed house in the country, it just wasn't working. I loved that house soooo much and I spent so much time decorating it and making it mine. But I don't regret leaving the relationship, now it's deja vu, oh boy...

My hardest thing was trying to eplain to my nother with whom I didn't get on why I was leaving such a wonderful man as my husband .. I didn't really care what she thought as I was leaving him regardless ... but I just didn't want to go through all the 'who said, she said, why and wherefores' routine .. I'd made my decision I just wanted to inform her about it not have to go through the third degree ...

Its deja vu??? Are you getting ready to go through that again? Are you going to have to move from the flat you are at now? If so, I am sorry!!! I would think the hardest decision I ever had to make was what to do when I found out I was pregnant at the young age of 14 years!!! I was so scared to tell my mother. And then I didn't want to face my dad!!! My mom and dad were divorced, so I couldn't tell them at the same time. So, my mom helped by breaking it to my dad for me. Ouch! Even then it was hard to listen to the phone call!!! Then I had to decide what I wanted to do! My mother said she was completely supportive in whatever decision I made. Abortion, adoption, or keeping the baby and raising him myself. Mind, she would not help with raising him and I had to get child support because I was not even old enough to work. But either way, the decision on soley mine. Well, let's say now, he is my 16 year old son that I decided to keep. Even thought his father wanted to have nothing to do with him. Even to this day. But I met my current partner when my son was only 2 weeks old. And my partner is the dad that my son has ever known!

The hardest decision I ever made was when my best friend of 10 years forced me to choose between her and my boyfriend (now my husband of 13 years) stating that he didn't love me and wouldn't be there for me like she would. The thing that made it the hardest, besides that we had been friends since 7th grade was that I had been raising her baby. To this day not a day passes when I don't worry about that little girl.

Thank you for sharing. That's terrible a ten year friendship ending that way, but giving you an ultimatum is way out of order.

Why didn't you get a share of the house? déjà vu? - Is the same thing happening again? The hardest decision I ever made was walking out of my marrage and letting 2 of my children stay behind with my ex.

I did get a share of the house, it helped me finance my 3 years in college. Yep, I never learn the same thing is happening again. Out of the frying pan into the fire, a fool to myself thats why I vow NEVER to get into another relationship EVER again. They have been the cause of my depression in my life.

hardest decisions are hard to make...:)...and the decisions should be made by oneself if the decisions are hard...because if the decisions are hard and you make the right decision then consider it as a major victory which will play an important role in your life... i had have gone through such moments when i hade to make important decisions...but the most of the hardest decision that i had to make was when i passed my intermediate and i had to choose my life career...i was interested in both engineering and fine arts at the same time...it was tough to get admission in either of the fields...but luckily i got admission in both engineering and fine arts...so it was now time to decide for me for what i have to do...so i just ignored the comments of everyone and just made the decision that was made by my brain...and now i feel that my decision was perfect and i m really happy now!

I've been thinking on this one for a whole day now. I guess that would have to be breaking up with an old boyfriend. He was in law school and was really goofing off too much. I had serious doubts that he would even pass the semester. I decided that it would be best for both of us to take a break in the relationship. We remained good friends but I eventually married someone else. And he did finish law school! He is also divorced from his first wife so maybe he still didn't grow up..who knows?

I had to break it to my parents that their darling little girl was pregnant at 16. My parents are very old school catholic and uber conservative, so you can imagine how well things went. It was the singlemost difficult thing i ever had to do up to that point in my life. I've had to make other monumental decisions since then, but that one has always stuck with me as being the most emotionally draining.
