How do you know when it is time to stop working on a relationship and get out?

If a relationship just isn't working, how do you figure out when to go versus to stay and keep fighting? I spent years in a marriage with a person who was mentally ill for example. I felt guilt to leave but eventually had to and now both our lives are better for it. Yet every relationship is challenging. How do we pick when to stay and when to go? Thanks...

I think if you are a christian you seek God and pray and ask the Holy Spirit to direct you in what you should do. It might not be the answer you want but God knows what he is doing.

Manners, etiquettes, food habits, behaviour of the person, and above all mutual trust are all foundations of a good relationship and any shortcomings in these traits, there relationships come to an end. There are people who cannot adjust, appreciate and accommodate such short comings, thinking that these things will cause a big void in the relationship would like to call quits.

There should be compatability in speech, hearing and trust. Mainly the relationships are based on strong foundation called Trust. The body odour, the food habits, the manners, the etiquettes are all part of the relationships and there are some people who cannot adjust for smaller things and it sends signals that this relationship will not work any longer.
