Skylar Lake Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 How do you know when it's time to let the other person go or just quit trying on the relationship and give up? And, is giving up, simply the coward's way out or is it really ever justified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beverly Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 When the relationship has turned toxic, you need to cut your ties and run. There is no saving a toxic relationship, especially if the other person is contributing to the stress through physical or mental violence or drug abuse. This will vary for each relationship so you will have to make the judgement based on the situation you are in. What is toxic or destructive for one, might not be for another. For instance, some people live in fairly toxic relationships for years out of convenience either due to money pressures or family obligations, such as when children are in the home. The important thing to do in those situations is to seek family counseling so that you don't infect the family with the bitterness that each spouse is showing to the other.

Trinity Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 You will know when a relationship is not right for you, such as when there is constant arguing or disagreements. You should not confine yourself to living in a hostile environment. Define what you need from a relationship and work with your partner to achieve this goal. If he or she won't work with you or insists upon other incompatible goals, then it's possible you need to rethink your place in that relationship and whether or not it's right for you.

TheDondada Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Relationships were meant to serve both peoples growth. When the growth stops the relationship does to even if they stay together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
