In a relationship, when do you say enough is enough and take the step up to end it?

 

It's hard, it depends on the amount of time and the amount of bickering. If the relationship is new and there is too much fighting then give it a talk and see how that goes for one time, if nothing has changed then don't take it further. If there is too much and it has been a long one then all the talks were had many times and it should end when you really think that you have tried everything you could, and this doesn't mean just a talk, but actually seeing what was wrong with her and addressing that and so on. You don't want to lose a good thing so make sure you see it from her point of view too before ending it and not just yours. Well hope everything goes right if this is your problem.

 

I just keep giving it chances... Im the older on in the relationship, and im very clear on what it is that I want and dont want out of a relationship. We have talked many times, and it just doesnt seem like she wants to try. When we talk about it, she always says "x" but then acts the same. Im just kind of fed up with it. So Im ready to be the mature one and end it.
Im just afraid that If I do end it that im going to regret it and possibly miss out on someone that we could grow into something great.

 

If you don't see yourself marrying that person, then it's time to end it. What's the point in continuing on a relationship if you don't want to set long-term goals?

 

Don't wait around on her, if she's not wanting to try or respect you, you're never going to have any sort of control in the relationship. You'll regret it initially, but you'll figure it out after you meet someone better that you made the right choice.

 

That's what's difficult. The fact that she might have been the one. Plus the fact that if you lose her then it is harder because whether you go out and pick up on chicks and this and that, it always feels good to go home to a familiar face in some instances. You gotta just make up your mind and stick with it. Maybe you will make that mistake and lose the one that you "think" is the one, but then there's always someone else. That's how it's always been, you think it's hard to be without them and then you find another one when you don't look. If it really bothers you then lay all the cards on the table, tell her you were gonna end it today, but since you care about her and want to work it out then lets give it one more try, and make sure it's the last. Hope that helped.
