Do you typically end things first in a relationship, or does your partner usually end it first?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

In the relationships you have been in, are you usually the one to break things off when red flags appear, or do you typically try to make it work and your partner has broken it off first? Maybe it's an even split? So which is it for you in your experience?

I am usually the type that tries to work things out before i consider ending the relationship, it also depends on what happened for her and Into get to this dilemma in the first place , if she cheats on me emotionally or physically I end the relationship immediately, if I catch her in a lie then I will have an talk with her and try to figure out why she lied to me in the first place and what was her reason behind it , before I make a final decision. Overall I take commitment seriously, meaning if her and I set boundaries together that we both agreed upon , and she decides to cross those boundaries then I will dump her and walk the other way. selfish behavior doesn’t sit well with me, basically what she doesn’t want me doing to her , needs to be the same boundaries for her as well. I can’t stand girls’ that tell me don’t do this and don’t do that , but when it comes down to her it’s all of a sudden ok , it’s doesn’t work that way whatsoever, if she can’t respect me I will not respect her period , She treats me like a convenience, she will be mine as well

Relationships don’t always end over red flags. Also, bringing a relationship to an end and who is the one to end it feels like a race to the bottom. Over is over. Who ends it first is only relevant to one’s weaker ego and frankly if I hear a woman who boast of always ending it first in the same breath of they were all bad guys in some form … I have met these women and they are women to avoid. Zero accountability. Zero integrity. …and they are serial poor decision makers. How a person behaves in one area of their life, they tend to carry in all areas of their life. Same goes for their choices in ‘meaningful’ pursuits.

no, I would rather talk first and try as many different strategies as possible to save it... I commit to my partners and definitely don't like the idea of ending the relationship without trying to save it

[Genie23]

I do it as I've had enough and couldn't take it more. I don't quit easily but when I do it means I've been pushed to my limits and got hurt a lot to a point I can't trust that person anymore.

As a relationship coach, I'm here to help you navigate this spicy dance of love! Personally, I was more of a let’s-see-if-we-can-make-it-work kind of guy back in the day. Red flags sometimes looked more like pink fluffy clouds to my optimistic self 😂. But when things need to end, it's crucial to face it head-on for both parties to find happiness. Remember, losing someone who doesn't see your worth is a win! ❤️

In every case except one, i was the dumpee.

[NathanDavis]

it was mutual, every single time...

and we spoke it about for some time too, before reaching to a conclusion/decision

basically, reached that moment in which we had to discuss if we were really into or ready for whatever the "next step" was...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Should there be a consistent pattern? Cause if it's constantly you breaking things off all the time for example, wouldn't that make you the problem, even if you see it from the perspective that the other individuals are the issue, one can argue that the poor taste in partners can be a personal issue cause it can be someones bad taste in partners 🤔

@Ez-Bri-Z_v2 Too many 'short term' relationships to really consider, but on the whole, my partner probably chose to end or perhaps it was mutually agreeable

[SotiCoto]

The last time I was in a relationship the term "red flags" wasn't even a thing yet.
I've dumped twice, been dumped three times, once agreed to an end-date from the start, and once it was just sorta vague. So... close to even...

Historically, women have always broken her off first with me and I found myself puzzled as to why. On the other hand, I probably tried to hang on to bad things for too long and I'm puzzled about why I've tried to do that as well. And once was married for about a month and broke it off because the woman I married was an alcoholic and I wasn't aware of it until after we were marrying.

I was usually the one to get dumped. Sometimes I would walk away.

[Nikki1989]

It has been mostly me that has had to pull the pin. Men are clueless on how to let go OR they are too stubborn to do so.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'm rather the last one to ''end'' - and only after trying everything to avert it.

[Babygirl_S]

I’ve only dated. Never been in a relationship. I am observing before I find someone worthy of my affection.

[TheoreticallyGreat]

It's basically been 50/50 for me and generally circumstance based

[Dorothy90]

I’ve ended my relationship donto finding out she has a husband.

[wkhan_87]

I felt that only once in lifetime, and it was equally from both sides.

[serious]

I have always been single.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t quit on relationships

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

The men usually end it

[Chocolatetwopointtwo]
