How quickly do you break up in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

does it take a lot or very little for you to break up?

In the past, I've been waaaaaaaay too slow to break up. It got the point where the other person was making it super clear that they didn't want to date me, but I would hold on because the fact they wanted to break up just didn't occur to me. I guess my thought process was that they would either break up with me, or literally tell me that they wanted to break up, if they wanted to.

I should have understood the writing on the wall sooner.

I'm not sure how quick I'd be to break up these days, but I would like to think that I've learned my lessons.

I have never broken up. If you have me its probably for life. Its getting me that is the hard part. Any stuff in her personality that would make me break up I probably already sensed early enough not to want a relationship to begin with. I am a good judge of compatibility and very aware so if she isn't the right girl she will screw up before were together.

10 years, I let it go almost immediately. I say almost because there was abit there for me to process it all but after I did in a few hours. Never looked back, go tally up the average lifespan in weeks and when you can physically see that infront of you. You will also not waste your own time

I guess it might depend on what is causing the breakup. Is it because of cheating... if so it would be quick. Is it because of personality issues or being a lousy lover... then it might take longer if that makes any sense. What have you noticed with previous boyfriends?

None of mine lasted less than three years. It takes a lot and I wouldn't do it lightly.

It depends on how long we spent together and how I feel. Saying goodbye to someone isn't easy.

It really depends how long she wants to carry on the charade that she's a good person. Some women can do it for quite a while.😆

You need to quantify what you mean. Are you speaking of the actual breakup?

Very quickly.
