Poll question: When is it time to break it off with someone?

[Deja Q]

1. Well, if it breaks off, how do you know glue will put it back together again?

:yoiks:

[intheflow]

2. Humpty-Dumpty, is that you?

[crim son]

the rest of that garbage... it's time to say goodbye. I'm sorry. :(

[NightWatcher]

When you start wondering about the end, you know it cannot be that far away.

[LoZoccolo]

6. Would this be someone to whom one is married, or just dating? n/t

[intheflow]

8. Been with for 8 years, living with for 2.

[BlueIris]

29. Yeah, I'd say break it off.

Doesn't sound like there's much left to "fix" here, nor does anyone have any interest in fixing it.

10. if they've done all those things, and you haven't dumped them, you deserve them

dont' be stupid, kick em to the curb or they'll walk all over you forever.

11. I may be dense

but I don't "get" #3.

From personal experience, when you sort of wake up in the middle of the night to her her, believing you are 100% asleep, telling you "I tell you tjings when you're asleep that I can't tell you when you're awake".

or when you discover that her leaving for a one week contract locum 200 miles away fills you with nothing but relief.

If you can clarify #3, I'll vote.

[intheflow]

15. I'll put you down for "Other"

using the contract locum statement.

13. When the phone rings, and you think,

"Oh no, I hope it's not him."

[intheflow]

14. Interesting response.

I always hope it's him.

[SPKrazy]

16. If this is you...

run don't walk

just go

[Norwood]

17. Wow are you dating my ex?

At least when it comes to the first one and the text messaging.

[intheflow]

18. Doubtful.

His ex is a right-wing, James Dobson-loving, evangelical Repuke Christian. Just judging from your avatar, that ain't you! :)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

19. when they tell you

you have to "earn" their respect, because they don't respect anybody just because they're human.

:puke:

[Redstone]

20. When it's time to.

Redstone

21. When you discover another man taking your place...

...in the bushes outside her window.

Ba-boomski!!

Seriously though, the signal to end it usually manifests itself as an aching in my gut.

[intheflow]

27. If I found another man taking my place,

I'd be happier than another woman. Since I am female and my SO is male, it would just mean that I had the wrong plumbing for him.

Ba-boomski! :rofl:

30. Okely Dokely

Next time I'll profile check before I start in with the shtick.

22. When REAL communication ceases

and it's plainly evident that one or both don't want it to resume, or that it ever will again ( assuming it was there in the first place).

[intheflow]

26. This sounds like a sane answer.

Communication never really gone, just his body. :( But this souds like a strategy for the long run.. from someone who knows?

(Hillary, is that you?)

[amitten]

23. Run, run, run like the wind.

I don't think you need us to tell you he's up to no good.

[Breeze54]

24. When you want to choke them...

... more than fuck them! :P

[intheflow]

25. Not one for extremes, are you?

:rofl:

[dEMOK]

28. "Other"...

It's time to break it off when your partner can no longer tolerate your psychotic/paranoid outbursts.

[blue neen]

31. When you spend more time being unhappy than you do enjoying yourselves.

Also, when you know you've done everything you can to fix it, and you're still getting nowhere.

[Deja Q]

32. Date me for 10.2 weeks and you'll figure out why.

:rofl:

[tyedyeto]

33. #2 in poll - working holiday weekends.......

In my industry (hospitality/ restaurant), working holidays is a given. Those weekends can be the busiest times so all personel know there is no time off on holidays.

[intheflow]

35. He's a white collar executive.

I know it's different in the hospitality and retail industries, that's my background.
