Would you give up a long relationship for someone new?

I would not give up my long relationship for anyone, my fiance is my soulmate, the man god made for me ,and I would not trade him for the world. He is my everything, and I believe that once someone finds their true love nothing should tear them apart. When we become one flesh, nobody can tear us apart.

I have not given that chance yet. But I know how it feels, I gave up my job for seven years for one that I did not know anybody and I hate it. I wish I never gave up that comfort zone and secure job. But if the relationship is not working, then maybe something new is a good change. I will probably give up a long relationship for a new one if I was single and no children. it is the best part about being single.

Well, the way I see it is this. You always have to look at the person in the mirror. Hopefully, you are going to make choices in your like so that you like the person looking back at you from the mirror each morning. Now, if you are the kind of person who drops an existing healthy relationship hoping to get a 'better deal' then I think .. maybe you start to question yourself a little. Would you really want to be dating someone and find that they have turned around and considered looking for a better deal than you? I'd drop such a person right then and there just because they seriously considered going elsewhere. At a minimum, any relationship I have includes an unspoken contract of faith. Cheating or thinking of cheating are a violation of that trust. If I were to do such a thing, then it affects how highly I can value myself. Do I deserve trust and faithfulness from the people I'm with if they cannot expect that from me in return? If your existing relationship isn't making you happy, then trying a new one isn't a gamble. You admit you are unhappy in your existing relationship and end it. Then, after at least a little pause for respect, you consider looking for other options. This approach has a certain degree of integrity. This approach is at least treating the person in your current relationship with a degree of respect. Unless they have been a complete jerk, I think it is only fair.

Yep, I just did recently. At the first few days, you feel an unbearable hurt inside when look back at the times you were together and knowing you have given up a long relationship. But after some time pondering about those things, you realize it was worth giving up after all. When you have felt more ill-at-ease than happy and secure with her and when the love you give is unrequited most of the times, you'll come to see how much of yourself was lost just because of the selfishness of the one you loved. It's just like a most needed breath of fresh air after being suffocated for a while. Then you start picking up the pieces of your heart and try to glue them back piece by piece. Love, like life, goes on.

It is easier to start a relationship than to maintain it. It takes a lot of effort to build up trust and love. If youare up to it to start all over again then go ahead or else stick to what you already have. A known devil is better than an unknown one.

Defenitley not since it has taken me 34 years to finally find the right guy! Sometimes guys put on an act but when you first date them you realise the guy isn't really about to seriously date you or anyone else. And in the meantime something safe secure an dprobably more real will be lost :( Hope this helped!

i haven't gone through this yet but i wouldn't wish this to happen to me as this is really a complicated situation.but if i were faced in that situation,it will really depend.if my relationship with my partner is not that good anymore or if we're both unhappy already,then i guess i'll just to break up with him.but of course,i have to weigh down things coz i just can't throw away all those years for someone new.love is a such a lovely yet complicated thing.(sighs)...happy mylotting!

I had a "chance" like that before with my ex boyfriend after 2 years (one year before he "risked" it to get more beautiful girl...) - I met him on a some music party, he was singning in the power metal group. Not a pro, he was one of contestants. We came along very well and I had a thought after some time, that maybe it could turn out well, especially when he got soem strong feelings on me. We broke our relationship, since I wasn't able to leave a guy who was with me all the time, caring about me, be with me every hard moment. Only now I think that maybe I should try ^^" But with my current boyfriend I wouldn't do it too - I love him, I would now if I stop :)

it happened to me. i gave up my 2 years of relationship to someone i met for 3 months. i never regret it. he's really worth it
