Do You Know When It's Time To Say Goodbye?

Question

Jjpayne · Accepted Answer

You can feel the romance, interest and desire die but you also see that they don't involve you as much in their life. To be fair, every one wants to settle in. You just be yourself and you are ok with letting the other person be themselves. Passing gas next to each other, crashing from being tired, drowning out in social media for a bit. It's all part of just letting the guard down and enjoying just being yourself with each other. But it's that time when you can feel it... The distance, the isolation, the lack of involvement, and the moodiness... It's something where you know when it's time to go. You want to feel treasured and valued but when that's no longer there... It's time to go

This is a very good question because it means so many different things in everyday circumstances I usually know when you say goodbye before it's time to say goodbye there is a build up to it and that whole part sucks sometimes we create that situation ourselves and sometimes it's created for us and sometimes not sometimes just very smooth sailing do it should be but there are moments in times where it's not going to be that way and you do need to make a choice or just gets worse or better what is all about

Actually, yes, I do. I've been thinking of saying 'goodbye' to GAG, because it hasn't turned out to be the simple, straightforward space within which I just answer or ask questions and have interesting conversations with others who are open to such conversations, and all without having to worry about the cliques, stalkers, obsessives, special snowflakes and trolls (to list just a few) that seem to be endemic to this site.
I've been able to help a few people here, and offer good, practical advice and emotional support, but I really do spend far too much time here, and really should do other things that are important too.
There is a whole world out there to explore! :)

😯 when I first your question, all I saw was "time to say goodbye " I thought you were saying goodbye because you were leaving GaG 😢 I'm happy you're not. I'd miss your posts 🤗

If a relationship becomes toxic, and it starts to have a detrimental effect on my emotional and mental state, I know it's time to say goodbye. In the past, I've tolerated a lot to the extent that my mental and emotional state suffered. I would never jeaopradize my mental health for anyone now

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

Excellent question, thank you for asking it!
I'd say yes, and although goodbyes are indeed quite difficult, realizing when the moment of separating paths and going our own way it's one of the most important things in life.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Yes I do.

I had this with my marriage, my wife and me sat down and pretty much worked out to the day when it would be over and what we would do.

This is bizarre, but we got to the day, gave each other a cuddle and a kiss, then we each gave each other a divorce card, crazy lmao.

but yeah, know and importantly recognising when it’s over is really important.

Finchie40 · Answer

When you picture that person not in your life anymore , when you feel like you will be better off without them and accepting the fact that they will become a stranger to you and move on to be with someone else , if all those things occur then it’s time to say Goodbye

Flower7 · Answer

No, I don't. Last week, I left an internship where I became interested in a guy who worked there. Now, a whole week later, I still think about him a lot and am considering contacting him. Saying goodbye and cutting ties with him was very hard for me.

LeoElias · Answer

Relationship wise if it's inconvenient for me or I don't feel anything after the first, second or third date.

Friendships I always try to stick around until the bigger end. It's hard to make friends as an adult.

And family, I try to stick around but it's hard when they fight with me constantly. I don't want to leave but it always feels like they are pushing me away.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. In my culture, we don’t say goodbye but ‘see you later’ or ‘until next time’. Because when you say goodbye, it means that won’t ever see them again (like death or etc). So I always say ‘see you soon/later/next time’ to everyone until I know I won’t see them again. For example, to my grandma who had cancer.

Nimphfromtx · Answer

When either if you don’t respect each other anymore (examples: physical aggressiveness, Not condoned cheating, or a lake of trust)

loves2learn · Answer

Yes. I’ve had to say good bye to toxic relationships before. It’s sad.

I was able to rekindle one friendship after 8 years apart. And she and I still thought about each other then. I’m really glad to have her back in my life.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

It's hard to say goodbye to some things but then in other times it's for the best like for example my very first girlfriend, she was age 21 and I was age 28 all I got to do is say Good Bye to her within three months I was put through hell and I kind of figured she wasn't happy with me and my very last girlfriend I dated age 35, she misplaced my class-ring and what hurts my late Grand-dad and Grandma bought it for me cause my Father had no money to buy us kids our class-rings and I'm thinking of getting a replacement in my grandparent's memory

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Do you mean as in ending a relationship, or goodbye when hanging out with friends and you know when it is time to go home?

JakeS00 · Answer

When it becomes only about the other person in the relationship (one sided), negative attitudes + perspectives, and if friends on their side have to know everything about our relationship.

DaveToo · Answer

August 24th, 1988. That's when my wife died. I've been saying goodbye ever since.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Nah, so far I have been aware enough to know exactly when it’s over, and thus when to say goodbye… Thank god!

jgokgotit · Answer

I'm good at telling when it is time to go my own way. The part I'm terrible at is being cursed with only seeing the best in someone after the fact, which makes me second guess my decision to leave. My mind says I made the logical choice but my heart wants to keep pushing.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Only once! A friend of mine died for cancer in 2010, we knew it was time but it still painful as much.

Saying Good Bye when we left Iraq to live in Sweden, it was sad but manageable because we can visit each other like i did when i came to the states to meet my cousins (13 years reunion) and as soon things will get well am traveling to Canada to see my grandmom (mother's) last time i saw her was in 2005

Mark987 · Answer

When you both lose interest for one. When you don't have time for each other.. and when you lost trust

FreyaRed · Answer

It's easier to say goodbye when you realize you are always alone from your first breath to last one, even though you go sometimes with someone in the same direction for a while.

Rab1901 · Answer

Goodbye is a term used when someone is leaving or when you're leaving. So it's whenever someone makes a decision to leave. Usually that decision comes when someone realizes it will improve his/her life.

Unfortunately, for the most part, I've either ignored or didn't see the signs a relationship needed to end, and it came back to hurt me in the end. It's happened too many times.
