How do you know it's time to walk away from a relationship?

wow alharra, you should have walked away from this relationship long time ago. He has no right to abuse you like this. I do understand that some friction does occur when in a relationship, but shoving you into the washing machine? Heights! You need to warn him not to ever lay hands on you. He can't be bossing around your family. Ask him to change his attitude or show him the door!

run sweetie , as fast as you can , any man who beats a woman is no man at all , go now before its too late , keep in mind you have children . this guy has no respect for you or the children , what happens when he puts one of thier heads thru the wall .

I go by my gut feelings. From the sounds of what you wrote here, it is time. I am sure he is nice much of the time but they all are. It sounds to me as if you are stressed and maybe just looking for confirmation? it is hard to walk out, I know but when he starts shoving you around and treating your kids like dirt...it is time. I know it is hard with kids so you need to make a plan. start stashing away money...sign up for low-income housing etc. Sign up on all of them. I raised 4 on my own...it can be done. It's not easy but I think you'll be happier. I was...am.

Dunno how do you know that its time to walk away, but friend, that time sure is NOW for you... I read what you said and only one thought came into my mind. There must be SOME reason, and I mean some GOOD reason that you are still with this guy. Now you can share it if you like... And if there's no such reason then its really time to walk away from this coward of a man...

All relationships are going to have ups and downs, but you should never, ever accept being treated like this. You shouldn't live in fear. Your son is at great risk because sons pattern themselves after the male role models in their mother's life. You girls will look for relationships with the same interpersonal dynamics as your relationships, so you need to ask yourself if this is the kind of relationship you want for your kids. I think you all deserve better. There is an old saying that there are other fish in the sea, to that I would add that you can do better. There are people out there that want to be part of a family, that will love you and your kids and treat you with love and respect.

Walking away from a relationship needs a lot of thinking. If you think you can't leave without him then stay. But sometimes you have to leave in a relationship for you to get a life. Because sometimes you're world just revolve around that person. Life is beautiful. There are so many things to be discovered. If you think it is not healthy for you to be in tht relationship, then leave. Don't be afraid God has a lot of better things for you.

If you need to ask, then it's time to go. You know when your heart isn't in it anymore. You've seen the situation, and realize it's not the right place for you to be. Your kids don't deserve to be treated like that. It's one thing to punish them for inappropriate behaviors they've had, but to nag/yell at them for no reason is intolerable. The anger issue is a threat to your safety as well as your kids, and you don't need to be in that position. You'll be better off with someone who will share in the responsibilities of the household. Someone who is fully independent, and able/willing to take care of themselves. A guy who will appreciate your kids, and only reprimand them when situation demands it. You deserve someone who will love and appreciate you. It may take some time to find a replacement, but I can guarantee that you'll find someone who is better that what you've got.

I would ditch him and go live a happier life. How? Well you know him better than I do so your going to have to come up with an answer for that but however you do it you need to do it. For you and your children's sake.

I cannot tell you what to do I can only tell you what I would do. I would run as fast as I can. If you do not leave now he will get bad and he will eventually hit your children and you more and more and all it takes is once and he could fatally harm you or your children. And if he starts on your children as soon as he walks in he is being abusive to them already in verbal form. Seriously you need to get out now. That is the only advice I can contribute here. Sure hope it helps. Have a blessed day.

the moment that you lose respect for each other,i think that it's time to hit the road.....if he starts to totally grab the whole situation leaving you always as the useless one meaning you can't express yourself nor can you share responsibilities with him and you are not what you really are...then you should walk away...

Time to get out of this relationship, and fast. If he lives wth you put him out and get a restraining order if necessary. It is a package deal, when somone gets involved with a mother or father of children. You and your children deserve better, and should not have to be afraid. If someone wants to be a part of your life they have to accept your children also, and if they can't do that then they really don't want to be a part of your life. Life is to short to live in fear, for you and your children.

Its time to leave him. he deserves a person who will push him around then maybe he will get the hint. then again maybe not. Your kids should be first priority and if you are afraid of him think about what they feel. You leave with the kids or he leaves. simple. If you leave, no notes no phone calls, make like you disappeared all together. i have a feeling that he will try to get you back and so get a restraining order against him first thing. He needs help and he isn't right for you an your kids. This is a hard thing but it is needed for you kids. Do what you need to to be safe from him.

you should run away for along time ago...it is for your own good. but now it is still not too late for you to do so. run away now...for the better life you will have with your children.be strong and you will get through it very well..wish you all the best.

i will not walk away from my friend
