How do you know it’s time to leave the friendship or relationship?

when you’re no longer respected

[Finchie40]

You answered your own question, when you are not respected and you are treated like a convenience, Someone that truly loves you and wants to be by your side will make you their top priority , if you are no longer their top priority , it’s best for you to start making your plans to move on from that person, have a serious talk with them first , before you assume that is really what’s going on , don’t just assume you are right and they are wrong. After you talk to them and express your feelings of concern to them and they don’t try to fix what is broken between you , that’s when you pack your bags and move on , if they really care about you and value you they will stay by your side , and try to fix what is broken. Never be a sitting duck to anyone that isn’t making you their priority , unless you like having Sucker written on your head. If they are not choosing you the same way you are choosing them , you are sadly wasting your time thinking they are going to change , Never point fingers until you point fingers at yourself first , Most people just point fingers assuming they are right and their partner is wrong , when really it’s the other way around. If your partner really cares about you and loves you he will listen to you and try to fix what is broken between you , if he doesn’t , you got your answer to move on.

Interesting question... I left a friendship/relationship with a married couple that I have known since living in CA... Reason: Alcohol and drug use. The husband "Threatened" me for cheering for a football team that was not 'his' team. I never went back to their home... Left him with his alcohol and her with her "Pot" smoking.

(1) When you realize someone is just playing around/messing with you.
(2) When things become toxic, abusive, etc.
(3) When the give/take process is one-sided rather than mutual.
(4) When the association is reduced to some utilitarian purpose rather than mutual respect and admiration.

I dont know how to explain it properly but when it is time to leave, I feel it everywhere in my body and my mind keeps repeating the phrase : "This isn't worth it"

There could be multiple things triggering this or just a specific one that is why I am being vague.

This is what people don't get about single folks. Instead of the usual, "Oh, it's because you can't get someone, or whack off in your mom's basement, or are ugly,"etc... mayne it's because they see how thoroughly widespread instances like the question you ask really are in most "relationships" nowadays -and choose not to invest in fools gold. Yes, occasionally someone at the slot machine wins big. But for each that does, how many lose their monthly rent money jamming it into that machine?🤔Those are the odds. Single people just choose not to risk their rent money.

Sometimes single people have no interest or desire to be in a relationship it’s different for everyone but you really did highlight one of the reasons 💯

Who hurt you?

[Cabarhev]

If they're toxic, always bringing you down, are consistently mean to you or others, they should probably not be a part of your life. We can only do so much in our own lives and hanging around negative people like that is draining and unhealthy.

Friendship- when I realized that I have been used as an ATM machine and free therapist. Relationships- When the resentment built up.

[Mr_twoface]

I would say after you've given your all in to amend the relationship and the other hasn't reciprocated the same.

[LaurenM1997]

When they go behind your back and do stuff that you’ve said for them to not do

[Xia1994]

Yeah or when I feel a loss of attraction or interest or a lack of compatibility.

Not being respected would do it. Also never being appreciated and never being a priority

[Nikki1989]

Lack of respect could be one reason of many.

[hellothere90]

When they gaslight me and lie to me. it's over.

[Bklynbadboy12]

When your a better person to them than they are to you

[Anonymous]

Explain more for us to understand, young buttercup.

[butterfly_nake87]

They will be mean to you or ignore you. Won't listen to your words.

[laly520]

when its toxic n harmful

[Booklover_90]

When it becomes one sided.

[DrPepper12]

When you're giving more than getting

[Ms_Facesitter]

When you're better off without them.
