When do you know that a relationship can't be worked out and it is time to say goodbye to the person you've been with after so many years? Can a relationship always be fixed or is it times when two people just aren't compatible or meant to be together?

it is time to put an end to a relationship when one feels that he or she is not being themselves anymore. When one is living the life that his/her partner wanted. Also, if there is no respect anymore. If a person does not feel respect to his/herself anymore then he/she cannot give respect to the other. More likely, a person cannot love without respect.

That is true, because it's not really a relationship if you are not being yourself. Good point

i really wish i knew. my husband and i have been having the same problems since we started dating. he used to be so open and honest and romantic. that all went out the window. i've come so close to calling it quits, but i never know if its the right decision. and now 6 years of marriage and 3 kids later i still don't know what to do. i don't think that every relationship can be fixed. its always worth a try, but there are just some that can't be fixed.

I totally agree with you because I know I just can't forget certain arguments and certain hurtful things that were said or done. You can forgive but it is hard to forget and I think that plays a lot on the doubts, but then your heart most of the time lets you see the good in that person or something good happens between the two of you that makes things okay for a while and then it gets back to being miserable. I understand how you feel..I don't know what the solution is.
