I'm opened to work things out if both are willing to make the effort but if I feel like I'm the only one trying to make things work and nothing changes then I don't have many choices but to break things off.
Leave. My patience with relationships is not like it used to be. I have worn myself out.
Thank you for your opinion!
You are welcome, thank you for asking this question!
It depends on it the problem is one we can fix, or if the healthy thing to do is leave
What problem would make you leave? My partner left me due to me becoming stressed during the pandemic and he couldn’t take anymore
Personally, it would have to be something that makes me realize the relationship won't work long term no matter what we do.
I left me last relationship because both me and my partner were in an unhealthy mental space, and we kept setting each other off into worse moods. After a while we realized the only way to stop the cycle was to make a clean break from each other and get help separately.
There's also more extreme stuff that would make me leave, like if my partner cheated, or if they were dealing with an addiction and refused to get help. If I can't trust or rely on my partner, there's no future there. I have to look out for myself
I understand your situation but I feel nowadays that love is very fickle and people give up too easily instead of trying to work on things
I agree. I think it's a case by case thing and everyone has to figure out what's best for them. But yes, often people give up easily when something is fixable.
I also think there are people who hold on to bad relationships too long. It's hard to find that balance and we so often get it wrong
I know it is but you wonder how many couples marry when many relationships break down at the first hurdle and rather than communicate to try to make things work they give up and run
I'm sure I'd stay, unless she starts behaving incorrectly, i. e, being abusive, cheating, or lying to me.
Unless she cheated or did something to our kids I'm staying to work it out
Thank you for your opinion, my ex left me due to the pandemic as I became stressed during it and eventually he couldn’t take anymore
you weeded him out so you didn't waste ur life with him
How do you mean? I feel it was my fault it ended
You have a partner to be your better half. They are there to stick it out and help each other grow
Ah ok I get what you mean, I just feel hurt as I wouldn’t have left him
Makes sense but sound like you dodge a bullet
How so? I feel like I will never meet anyone like him again in terms of commonalities
He is weak to leave his partner and not help you
Thank you I do appreciate it, he told me he felt like he had tried but couldn’t take anymore as he felt his trying wasn’t working so ended it
I would try to work it out together but if that doesn't work after a day or so then I might breakup with her.
Dump their ass like yesterday news !
It’s my way or the Highway!
The deal is until death us do part.
Stressed? You should properly explain your definition of “stressed”.
Stressed as in not acting normally. Maybe becoming more negative or acting out of character because something is bothering you
I’m not always pleasant to boyfriend but he doesn’t end things because of that. The guy didn’t care about you in the first place. Really understand the reality of that and do not make any same mistake again with your future boyfriend.
Thank you for your opinion but it really hurts knowing he left because of that, also how can you not make the same mistake? People can get stressed
I don’t think you get it. He did NOT end things cause of THAT. There was absolutely guaranteed other more valid (to him anyway) reasons why he ended things. He didn’t care. A man who cares will NOT be easily scared off because of a “stressed girlfriend”. You can absolutely be yourself and feel your emotions and deal with them accordingly, but my point was to select the RIGHT candidate for the “job”, because not every guy is a man who is ready for a woman in a partnership. Good luck. You deserve the best as every woman does. Choose the best.
I appreciate what you are saying but a lot of the people on this site are saying in a stressful situation they would leave as they can’t handle the stress themselves
Thank you though I do appreciate your opinion and advice!
You’re still not getting it clearly. The ones saying they’d end things because of a stressed girlfriend are NOT right candidates for partnerships with women as your boyfriend. They are not men. A man deals with things properly.
I know that but I feel a lot of people now a days run at the first signs of trouble so I find it hard now to trust people. I became so stressed I contemplated doing things I wouldn’t do because of the pandemic and feeling severely stressed
You should know that half the “men” on this site hate women and don’t give accurate advice. The ones saying they’d end things because of a stressed girlfriend are incels or hate women for whatever reason. Don’t listen to them. The right people around you will alleviate “stress”.
Your boyfriend wasn’t the right person.
Thank you for your advice by the way! I just feel i will never find anyone
You gotta change your inner dialogue.
