Imagine such a situation: after some half a year or one year dating and meeting each other at least a few times per week you have some minor argument and stop any contacts for a few days, then the days become weeks, months...
At which point would you forget him and consider that the relationship is ended?

I would really appreciate some feedback especially from women’s perspective.

I want to repeat that the argument here was not like a big fight or official break-up, just a minor quarrel, no tears and no broken dishes :)

Come on girls, you can’t be serious :) You would end a year long relationship immediately after a slight disagreement? :) If that’s true I don’t believe the relationship would have survived that year in the first place :)

I would agree that a serious disagreement/fight/cheating/whatever could end a relationship immediately, but my question here is different. If there is no big reason, just the time factor, how long would it take to consider if finished?

There are no such thing as a "break" in a relationship...it is called a break-up. You cannot take a holiday from life, you don't take a vacation from a relatiosnhip...once you are in, you are in, until the fat lady sings...

If neither party contacts the other then I would say about 3 or 4 weeks would suffice to get the message across that its over. If one of them still wants the relationship, then its up to that person to make the first move after the argument.

why didn't you call her? why didn't she call you? Maybe a lot of pride was involved, and now you regret not making that call, and then it was too late...you grew distant and she had reasons to believe you wanted nothing to do with her, so, why bother... anyhow, an agreement after that fight should've been reached, like for example I'll call you next week and see abt this, I'm too upset now...

Is this a question that really needs to be asked?? Seems like one is trying to get a grasp on how to break a relationship to me, tho I could be wrong - I'm sure you have better things to talk about and do.

It's finished when both decide it is. In your case, I'd be calling after a couple of days, if not sooner, if they didn't call first. I think it would be ridiculous to stop contact after a minor argument if you've been together already for months.

Why ask the question, then, if you already knew the answer you wanted? dunno confused

Personally, I would not sit by and wait. I'll call and we can either resolve it or dissolve it. Anything else, to me, is just playing games.

If there's a violation of the bond, such as theft, cheating,

or violence...immediately.


If it's just a difference of opinion/growing apart, it's a percentage of the time spent together. Six months would be about two weeks, a year would be maybe three weeks, anything over a year would be about a month.

I chose "other" because even though a relationship is considered over immediately, in general, each relationship and situation, is different, and in some cases it is over immediatel, but in other cases it takes more time to get over someone.

frustrated frustrated frustrated

I wanted to know the length of time, and finally someone gave me the kind of answer I was looking for.

If you call it "playing games", then my question is:
if you would get involved in playing such game of silence, how long it would take for you to decide that it's enough and consider the relationship finished?

Yes, the question was about the case of growing apart, when there is no violation/violence/etc, which would necessitate immediate separation.

It depends on how I feel about him. I would not forget anyone I had spent time getting to know. Patience can add beauty to a romance.

Dude when it is over, its over! I voted immediately. What might seem minor to you, probably wasn't minor to her. You screwed up! Move on....

To all those who voted "immediately": this sounds like every time when you say goodbye to anybody your relationship is over and that you’ve never had any relationship longer than one night stand. Ok, that’s a nice approach, but my question was not about that.
