Its really hard to find true people anymore so dont throw anyone a way that u have cuz u will find out how cruel people really are. Finding someone is harder then u think. They lie to u they tell u they are not the same person they use to be and then find out they are the same person that people have warned u about. When u find that certain person u want do everything u can to keep them believe me being alone isnt good trust me.

I'm not thinking any about leaving my partner. But when he often says some very negative things, it makes me very unhappy. I don't think I would be happy to have another partner at all. If I lost him, I wouldn't have another relationship which I am sure.

I stayed with my children's father for that reason, but then I just couldn't take the abuse any longer and I left when they were two and four. It was enough. I would've left when my youngest was a newborn, but I was afraid I couldn't take care of the kids on my own and I knew he wouldn't pay child support. I don't regret leaving him - we're all better for it.

I won't leave my partner incase i'm no longer hsppy as long as he is not hurting me physically. I can be happy by just seeing my children happy with their father around. I am not afraid to be alone but I believe I'll be more confident in facing trials snd challenges when I have a partner to lean on. I would rather live unhappy rather than giving my children a broken family. Besides as long as you're living together the possibility of making up is more. How could you patch up, things when you can no longer see each other nor communicate. I'll just pray to God to bless our family and bring us back, the happiness

After marriage i was confronted with various situations which i could not take positively.There were certain things which were falsified and these really broke my heart.I wanted to go back to my parents house but i could not have the courage or may i was not mentally strong.I held myself back and tried to overcome the situations with positive attitude and here i am ,emerging as a stronger person who is learning to take decisions on her own.
I think i have made a right decision by not separating from my husband.He has become totally dependent on me now mentally.We are a much happier couple now.

Yes, I have experienced that... I had to see many guys just not to feel alone and make sure that everyday I have a guy to accompany me wherever I go and make me laugh.. One day I realized,I was not really happy and I feel bad with what I am doing to myself.. Gladly, I found the right guy who really makes me happy.

when that moment i had been hurt in a relationship, i had decided to stop communicating with my bf the time he leave us because he's afraid of responsibility..i got hurt that moment, it makes me so angry and so so sad that moment.. but i already moved on and seeing that life is beautiful.. yes, i'm sure i will find someone in the future a better husband and a partner for life..

There are alot of factors that go into that decision. not wanting to be alone is really the least of them. I think that you need to really figure out what it is that you want and work from there. I think there are things that you need to decide for yourself. I guess there are many ideas to think about.

Greetings Bamakelly! I felt the need to respond to this discussion. There has come a point in time that you sometimes do feel like enough is enough and you get fed up with not being happy in the relationship. Sometimes you stay for the sole purpose of not wanting to hurt your mate but every morning you wonder why aren't you happy. I have been through this recently. I loved Ryan and even still till today I love him so much but I got tired of not being happy. The reason why I stayed with him for so long was because I cared for him and I didn't want to see him hurting because I gave up on him. I have also been in relationships where I just walked away and I didn't take there feelings into consideration not at all. It came a point where I felt like this wasn't what I had signed up for and without any notice at all I was gone. So yes it has been several times, moments and relationships were I felt like I couldn't handle being with that person or maybe I felt like I rushed into the relationship and loved and lost that love for that person so quickly. I just want to thank you for letting me respond to this discussion and NakitaLikely3617 is out! Take care Bamakelly!

I've never minded being alone so that wouldn't prevent me from leaving. My ex husband and I did stay married for many years because of our children and I had hoped that once they were in college we could repair our relationship. I don't think I was being very realistic. He found someone else and it was all over. I still love him but I'm glad now that we aren't married and that he's happy. I have no plans to find someone else, though, I'm done with romance.

i'm not worried about being alone, it'd make me happy at the moment. have a read of my discussion about trail separation, shows a bit how i'm feeling at the moment. i'm concerned about my son if we do spilt, but it may be for the best. if a relationship is ment to be well it will a last but if not, it's life.
i'd probaly find some else when i was ready

I was in a thirteen year relationship. I was miserable but I stayed because we had been together so long. We dated 11 years and were married for two. I didn't think I could make it on my own and I didn't think anybody else would ever want me. But, I couldn't take it anymore. I took a big leap and decided to leave him. It was the best decision I could have made. Times were hard for about a year. Everything has worked out and I'm so glad I did it.

Hello bamakelly! I never really thought of leaving my partner. He always told me that he will die if I leave him and so I told him that it's like killing myself if I do it. I even expect that we would have some bad moments together but we never have it yet.

This is a subjet that everytime I run into, it makes me furious, and the reason being is because I think that a married couple SHOULD suck it up and remain together for the sake of their children, they´re the ONLY ONES who will suffer with their parents separation, and I honestly believe that when parent do this, they only think of themselves being totally selfish, specially marriages that haven been together for over 10 years should be able to work things out, there´s nothing impossible and their problems can be solved whether is with counseling, conversation, planification, among other things, but for them there seems to be an EASIER way to rid of the problem without even caring about the damage to their children who, at the end of the day, are the only ones affected, and in case you didn´t guess, yes, I come from a divorced home, so I know what I´m talking about.

I have never stayed for the sake of not being alone. I wouldn't mind. Sometimes i really want that! But keep in mind two things. #1 there is always somebody else out there. #2 sometimes, things get stale so we think it won't work, but sticking it out can be the best thing.
