When do you gracefully give up.....

Whats the straw that brakes the camels back?

Do you try to suggest hints if parts of ther personality start to grait you, or run for the hills?

I'm adopting the neutral on this one..............

Kind hints...honesty...listen - explain...do it again...kindly.

This has worked for me. Jeez I hate it, but it's preferable to being miserable while pretending not to appear so.sigh

If that don't work, you know you're in the sights of a psycho...and then I'm just blunt.professor

I tried the hint of leaving her washing, till the pile was so high that the cats used it as a walkway to get to the top of the wardrobe.

I tried starving to see if she might think about using the new kitchen.

I discovered she was so stubborn refusing to do anything, (for herself....not for me i might add) that my quality of life was eroded to the point even my cats got depressed.

Some people i guess like a doormat, fortunately now nobody mses my back as a place to clean their new shoes.

Ahhh, but Robbie, you contradict yourself...
"I tried starving to see if she might think about using the new kitchen", soon followed by "for herself...not for me, I might add".
Hmmmm..."starving" for her???
Giving up your crust of bread so that she might eat???
Somehow, I'm just not buying it.

But...when your quality of life is eroded, as you said, then it is time to move on. Your life should be enhanced by the presence of your partner or loved one, not eroded. So it sounds as if you made the right choice.
