Relationship Endings

life is way too short so keep replacing

Cold, it all depends on how long you've been with this person and how much effort has been put forth...I'd hate to see throwing several years down the drain without an attempt at counseling.....but if it's an online "relationship" that's only been a matter of weeks or months....well again, it all depends

you are here seeking someone to care and we all offer thatespecially over holidays..some of us are alone too

Great question, Cold. In fact, I wish this was a required profile question. I would much prefer to avoid those who view relationships as being as disposable as a used Wal-Mart shopping bag with a rip in it.

It's a given that some relationships should be ended without possibility of future contact. Those would include relationships that were hostile and or abusive or harmful in some way.

Other relationships may have been very peaceful, but must be ended because you have come to realize it does not have a future. In those cases, a friendship could remain. Unless there is no interest of a friendship on both parts and in that case it would be best to wish each other well and say goodbye.

In any case, when a relationship ends, wouldn't it be wise to take some time off and do some soul searching? Could we have done something better? Could we have taken things slower? Could we have chosen more carefully? Maybe, just maybe before we rush into the arms of a replacement we could consider the above before rushing to break someone else's heart and/or our own?

Sorry, but why are you on a dating website if you relationship is ending?
If it's that hard for you, did you try to counselling to see if you can save the relationship?
The last thing I would do after ending a relationship is go looking for the next one, come to terms with it, get your life on track etc.
Just a question, what do you mean with following your emotions of love? Another woman? Only asking...

Oh, and my remaining life is much shorter than hers.

zman, she is 20 years younger than me. I will suffer worser than her.

KN, I just can't stand the thought of never seeing or hearing from her again.
