Let's admit it, in every relationships, there are those ones that don't last... SAD but TRUE...So when you are finally faced with this scenarios, it makes you feel that your life is such in a roller coaster, tornado,stor, emptiness blah blah...etc.. So in you part, when can you say that you are about to give up on this relationship thing?? When can you say that it's over?....

I am thinking about that a lot too. I don't think relationship has to always be over on bad note. I think if people liked eachother there always should be little love left to respect other person later on. I can tell you about my expierience - there was little fight between my bf and me about business thing. He sudenly said:" If you act like that I don't think we should continue our relationship." I took it in. I was sad, but I accepted it, because there is no reason to fight - it makes things worse. I know he din't think when he said it, but ... I let it happen.... later on he called me and said that we shouldn't end it like this, but if I still want to be apart ... it was great time to end, because we still like eachother very much. I think there is no plan for starting and ending relationship. I act the way I feel at that moment ....

Thanks for you response, so do mean you were just impulsive on terms of breaking up? How can you say that there no already reason for fighting or holding on to your relationship?

I was trying to say that bkaking up is not always the worse thing to do. You know when the time is right. If you talk to your guy and he feels the same - it is time ... it doesn't mean you have to be enemies...

i will say its over if he doing the same mistakes...well, were only human,right? everybody commit mistakes and if GOD forgive us for our sin why not us?They say that in love you have to forgive..forgive and forgive!!!but there is always an end to this...u might as well feel that your about to give up and soon you will learn again to forgive...thats the thing!

You have a point myliezl0903, sometimes it makes you numb if they keep on commiting the same mistakes again and this makes you wonder if they really love you or not. Coz we all know that if we are really sincere enough to what they feel especially to the ones we love, we won't do anything that will hurt them..right?

I've been through a lot of break-ups already. It's really hard to let go someone you truly love. I hate to do it. Yet sometimes, it becomes a must. And it becomes very frustrating for the two of you to stay together. If you stay together, nothing will happen. Also, noone will grow. Noone will turn out happy in the end. I say "It's over" when I feel so hurt. I have a long patience I should say. However, when my partner has done avery wrong act like having another guy, that's already foul. That's the time I ask for space and direction. I stop. I quit. I don't have to be stupid forever.

Hmmm...just curios on what you've said that you say its over when you feel so hurt? Why is it that there's a saying LOVE until it hurts, and when it hurts...Love still...until it hurts no more...Isn't that love comes with pains? tnx again =)

hi kathrynmay! for me, relationships are "COMMITMENTS" so i rarely give up on love. For me love till it hurts. With my past relationship that was 7 years. I just ended it cause my ex-boyfriend is no longer willing to cooperate, he cheated on me and he's not willing to work things out, on the first few years i always work things out with him. My point is the couple should never give up as much as possible if they really love each other, the relationship should only ends when the other party is not responding on the situation. It takes two to tango and love is a two way road. Just give up when things cannot be compromise and each partner is no longer willing to solve the issues that arises in a relationship.

Hmmm that's true, love til it hurts...7 yrs whoww, that's pretty long years but I agree to what you've said that if one of you in the relationship doesn't cooperate anymore then there's no use at all already. "BOTH" of you should work things out that's why we call it as a "MUTUAL" relationship...But sometimes we just have to accept it if they don't love us anymore, maybe there is really someone out there who is meant for each one of us that against all odd you'll stick together... =) Thanks prettyfeigh =)

maybe when the time comes that i can really feel that our relationship is not going anywhere, i mean if we dont trust each other anymore, we fight often and if one of us wants to find or meet other people then i'd probably give up our relationship than holding on and making it hard for the both of us.. i dont want our relationship to end with no more respect for each other so i'd better stop it and keep the respect that is left for us..

That's true, it better to break up and tell its over that you're still OK and have respect for each other than you'll end in anger without respect anymore. In that case you'll also feel at peace when it comes to moving on...right? =)

I think it's over when both of you have done all the compromise and still continue fighting on the same issue.When it becomes a cycle then better stop it before you end up being enemies and lost respect for each other

a relationshipends only when either one of the erson is feeling bored in the company of the othere.the main thing in any relationshp is the amount of timeyou are spending with each other.if any one is making excuses to give time to the other then ,i think we should better call this relationship off.

I see your opinion, some people in a realtionship tends to have other priorities or reasons why they lose their time on their partner as times goes by especially if you're already spending a lot of years together..but....Should time be really the main basis if a realtionship is OK or not fine anymore?

Hi kathrynmay! just wanna share you this- I was in a relationship for 5 long years, I thought I was happy, I though we were good, I thought we're gonna end up together but we did say our goodbyes finally 3 years ago. For that 5 years, I endured a lot of pain, accepting all the cheating he's doing from time to time,some of the girls have become friends of mine..would you belive that? my own friends got pissed and mad at me for acting like a fool and being stupid for him and yet I don't wanna give up, I just cannot give up the years we spent together although I know that my hear is slowly breaking into pieces. But at some point in my life came the realization that it has to be over, his hurting me has to be over, his making a fool of me should be over,but I tell you it's not easy as 1 2 3, I was at the lowest point of my life.But i got up,God has pulled me off the dirt and made me stand and love my self. I realized that I just have to trust God even in my relationship. So I said goodbye and walked on.IT'S FINALLY OVER. I'm now married and I can't thank God enough for blessing me with the most wonderful husband in the world.

Wow that was so nice to hear from you...So these words coming from you proves that love doesn't involve too much on how long you've spent together but on how you love and respected each other. Years of togetherness will be meaningless and doesn't guarantee being together in the end if it really doesn't work out..Hmmm this makes me think that saying its over starts with "self realization" that things are not in good terms anymore that we just have to accept these fact but at the bottomline and best solution to help ease these pains is to hold on to God and trust Him that there is a right person for each one of us.. Thanks for that nice opinion cefaz_21 and may God bless your marriage =)

I say It's over when your in relationship and then your bf cheating on you....U feel so bad...for me when I say finished is already finished.....
• Philippines
13 Apr 07
Hi Karen_24..Cheating is one of your reason to say its over, well after all "TRUST" is being destroyed..If you can't live with that, its true that there's no sense anymore in holding on to your realtionship...

Well i said it was over because i felt they will never be my husband.I could feel it.He's not the one for me. That made me not wanna go further i wasn't really in love with them.It was more like a crush but as soon as i was involved in a relationship i felt sick and it didn't felt good to me.So i ended the relationship. I just said it to the guy and they understood.If i didn't ended it i would fool the guy but also myself.

Hmmm Im kinda curioes that yo say its over when you feel that he will never be your husband, how do you see it? Could you give me some tips? Coz I find it confusing sometimes, I mean you know, its tiring to have another or new partner again after having over with someone you have used to love...What do you think eyewitness? Thanks

When the feeling is gone, it's definitely over. I mean, you stayed in the relationship because you love each other, without that love, what's the sense of continuing it? I've had my share of heartbreaks and mind you, there are times that the guy did the breaking-up. It might as well be that because at least I spared myself from "hurting" the guy. I mean, I wouldn't mind a guy breaking up with me when we both know that we've lost the magic....

You're right maple_kisses..The one that we call "MAGIC" that we consider as part of love in every relationship..As we call this realtionship "MUTUAL" love must be share in reciprocal nature...

A relationship should be over if you cannot fixed anymore the mess that you have done within your relationship. If both of you always hurt each other more and more each day you meet. Eventhough you are trying to fixed all the problems that comes within your relationship but later on nothing happens maybe you should better give up. Its the best way for both of you so that you will not get hurt anymore.

Hi cutiedhes..Sad to say but it these things really happens that you already can't do anything even if you want to fix things..It seems that the're are still factors that hinders you from fixing it..Isn't it? *SiGh* So many of us just say its over and and just have to move on...What's really wrong, is it just not really meant? In my point of view...yes..."praticaly and technically speaking". What do you thing cutiedhes?

I believe in trying to make things work, in seeing how far Love alone can take you, and over how many obstacles it can carry you. But things can go bad, and people can become trapped. Its time to end it if other people get hurt because a relationship. Being in a relationship shouldn't hurt anyone but the people in it, and its almost impossible for that hurt to get too great, becuase it will always be balanced with love. Alternately, if I'm in a relationship and I realize that their is a serious difference in emotion, i.e. they are falling madly in love and I am thinking less and less of them, I will be completely open and honest, and end it.

HI MistahKurtz, uhm so do you mean that we should also take into consideration if other people get hurt because of your relationship, eventhough your both OK?I mean are you also about to give up if these factors outside have negative effects on your relationship? At your end saying, if you love them less already thenyou're about to give up, then I'll appreciate your honesty...

Well in my own experience... Ive been married for almost 6 yrs now...and my husband is having an affair with another woman... for two years and a half now... I've learned about their relationship 3 months when they were still 2 months... Would you believe that ive let go only last year? I did everyhing I can to save our marriage... but ive been fooled a hundred times... Then one day i woke up... feeling that i cant trust my life and my kids life to him anymore... I guess thats my turning point... I talked to him and end it... then go on with my own life.
• Philippines
13 Apr 07
Thanks lucky_witch =) ..Uhmm Sorry to hear that but I think I'll agree with your opinion, that when there is no trust anymore in a relationship, it already difficult to work it out and if you partner or you is not already willing to work things out then it will really be over. In my case, I've discover it even before I get married with the father of my child that he still cheats on me, so I decided not to go on with the marriage coz I think I can't bear in myself if I'll live my life with this man who will keeps on cheating on me, so it "NOT" worth it...Right?

When you know you have no more feelings for that person, it is no longer possible to continue. To continue would be doing not only yourself an injustice, but to that person as well. Somehow when you just can't take it anymore, you know it's game over.
• Philippines
12 Apr 07
I totally agree with you...You'll say its over when you don't love him/her anymore...Atleast you're just being honest to him/her and to yourself...Thanks!

Its actually not over, until its over. Its over to me when I stop seeing and phoning him. Most times you will cut the relationship but still be friends, being friends brings back past memories to me, and I dont seem to like it, however, It really done on me that it over, when l cut off all contacts with him.
• Philippines
12 Apr 07
Oh I see, when there's no communication or any form of interaction between two people involve, in such a way that the feelings will totally fade in time....that's the instance where in relationship will totally cut off....thanks mypeace =)

I would say when I would know that the other person is not caring about me any more.I am very sensitive on these issues and if something he does which causes me pain I always complains.If he doesn't care about my likings and my dislikings then also I would break up.Love or any relationship is something you respects each other feelings.
