Flight or Fight ............
You're in a long term relationship which over a period of time starts to go sour . . . .
Do you cut your loses and make a quick break . . .
or do you fight to salvage something which once was very precious . . . ???????????
I'd like to know how you feel about this

continuing to drag it out ends up finishing in the endonly with your head done-in and a lot of wasted life,
10yrs. worth in my case
If that dont work, move
Most important, don't waste too much time on it.
Guess that answers Pullme's blog too as to my musictaste.
If you put up a fight to save the relationship, at which point do you now say, that's it, I can't do this any more ? ? ? ?
Otherwise I wouldn't do much. Broken is broken.
Baltus, I hear you too and thanks for the contribution which brings me to another issue
is it wise to say NEVER AGAIN ??????
Aren't we creating a block to what could be something better ????
Right? Must be in a diff way next time. Am i on to sth balt?
But secondly, "trust" isn't only a word and I agree that there is absolutely NO WAY that we could ever attempt to establish a relationship with ANYBODY, if there is not an element of trust
However, doesn't the danger now exist that we might be willing to "settle" whereas before we would go out and make a concerted effort to be with the one we REALLY wanted ? ? ?
And thanks for that optimistic note
It sometimes feels like the basic values are becoming rare treasures in today's society. I for one most certainly look for these values in others, since these are the ones I was reared with and I try to live by.
Morg: NOOOO
Good for you.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
I also got the point on change coming from yourself, rather than trying to change the other person . . which is why I asked earlier what you(we) would do differently in the given scenario.
And all the time in the world too!
Very glad to see ur here K49.
I'm not in a pinch right now, but I would surely take heed of you words if I should ever get there.
I'm taking you home today
