The delicate line of breakup....

our relationship had gone to too many storms and i think the only reason it will be ruined is when one of us totally give up. the relationship will not work out if only one person is working so staying in that relationship will just be painful in time. women often stayed in a relationship because they fear what other people will say or that they fear they don't have money to spend or because of their children. it is hard to tell and only them know their reasons.

Both things would end a relationship for me. First of all,I grew up in a home where my parents both abused one another - so the first time a man raises his hand to me- not even has to hit me, but just raises his hand like he's thinking about it, it would be so long, long gone. If someone cheats once they will do it again, and again. So I would be outta a relationship in that instance also.

To me Spousal abuse is one of the worst things that could ever happen, and personally a woman or man being abuse should run away from the Relationship as that is not a Good relationship and dangerous to continue to be in. Cheating on the other hand is not a Good thing as well unless the person can get some help to keep it from happening. With so many diseases out there, it is dangerous, and Sad especially when kids are involved. Personally I would not want to have to be the product of either one having to deal with.

If my husband doesn't treat ME well (this can be anything) it's a good reason for me to leave (or better: kick him out).

If she is unfaithful once, even if it's just a one night stand, the relationship is over and I'd never want to see or hear from her again. It's a betrayal of trust that can never be overcome, not to mention disgusting...

I think an affair would be for me would be too much... but as I haven't had a situation like this, I'm not sure what I would do. It could depend on the circumstances. Abuse, on the other hand, now that would end the relationship for me. I don't want a partner who can't solve problems in an intelligent way.

There are always lines that should not be crossed. One of them is physical abuse and the other one is cheating. Once these things start happening then it is time to evaluate the relationship. When I was married I never hit my wife nor cheated on her. She was the abusive one. She hit me numerous time and also cheated. And she is the that left blaming me that it was my fault. Strange. But I would not even waste my spit on her anymore. She is worthless in my book. So there are lines and once they are crossed sometimes nothing could ever fix it.

Yeah if my husband cheated on me that would more than likely end the relationship. I don't think that I could handle it. Especially if it that was the last straw of me trying to make the relationship work. The abuse I'm pretty sure I would leave him on that one to. I don't think I would put up with that type of treatment.

I knew it was the end of the line when I lost all my love and respect for the husband. Our marriage was not exactly a bed or roses and it had the ups and downs even when we were on the supposedly honeymoon stage. We were both young then barely out of our teens and got married against the will of the parents. I thought a marriage will survive on love alone but alas it was too late to realize that real life was not a fairy tale. For the most part of the marriage I too was to blame because I gave priority to my work. However, is it an excuse to have an affair if the wife does not give you much attention? Is it right to have another woman in his life and have two kids when he cannot even support the needs of his own children? It is not only physical abuse that ruins a marriage but more on the emotional abuse.
