Question relationship -- when is it time to walk ?

Been with my GF for about a year.

I was wondering since I have been having this feeling that she isn't putting all that she can into the relationship (comparing beginning to present) and with the past few arguements, that maybe this isn't the "right one".

When do/did you feel it was time to pull the plug and move on?

lolo, and I have all kinds of "comments" for the signle guys

Had many relationships with women in my days, a few selected "GFs" among them.
The minute I knew the GF wasn't wife material it was good-bye.

I think I fell in love with my wife on about the 3rd day of meeting her.
Personal restraint made me do the due diligence for about a year, but I "KNEW" she was the one........ and I was right. Best darn thing that ever happened to me!

So I guess I'm saying to say bye, bye sweetheart.
Cheers Buddy

I suppose it could take you a little while to realize she's the one but typically I think you know right away when she isn't.

Crazy chicks do it better.

as soon as the Sex decreases... sex, frequency of it, desire for it for both people is
a good barometer of the health of a romantic relationship. When a woman is not interested
in a man, she will not want to be with him....that logic usually doesnt apply to the man who will
usually be with the woman, however he may be more tired than usual or not quite as responsive
or he is involved with a different woman etc. use the sex barometer...

time to go when you are away from her and you LIKE it. that, or she does things that you just shouldn't do to someone you care about - cheat for instance.

:
I think you have the answer above. It is time when you start asking "when is the right time.....?"

Trust your instinct. "He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it."

Sorry, just my opinion.



Maybe I am the fortunate, or the most unfortunate, guy. But, with me, as soon as I see a woman, I could immediately determine if she is a) for show, b) for a wife and mother of my kids, c) for fun, or d) companion.

relationship -- when is it time to walk ?

When you're away for a week or so, neither of you phones, and you feel really free.

It is time to walk when you ask the question. Seriously. I never asked myself that question with my wife.

BUT--- if you aren't looking for a wife, and the sex is currently good, you can stay with her until the sex suffers.

If you are young, best to be playing the field and enjoying as much $^% as you can.

Now if you are older and ready for a relationship, end it immediately. I agree with previous advise that if she is not wife material, you are just wasting your time.

Then again if she is a porn star and has some special skills, you might want to keep her as a booty call!!

Life is short! ?Don't waste it with the wrong people!!

when in doubt, there is no doubt.

if it's just a question of "when" at this point --- when it's convenient. Sex, another target, etc., as long as you're not stringing her along or expect her to behave any "better" than you are.

I knew it was over when the cops told me to get away from that crazy b*tch.

In your case, if the spark is gone, the spark is gone. No sense trying to make something happen that isn't there. It sounds as if you know what to do, but simply need reinforcement. You have it.

+1 to not waste too much time on non-wife material, unless the object is sex and only sex.

BTW, like Rob, I could only manage 4 months before getting engaged and married within 6 months of meeting. We've been married for 30something years. There have been bumps, but thankfully no major potholes along the way.

I knew it was time to move on when she took out a restraining order and bought a handgun. Last I saw of her, she was still pointing it at me as I rode away on my Harley. I sure do miss her.

Perhaps a more serious answer:

When one party tries to manage the relationship and the "give and take" disappears. A good relationship is not 50-50. It requires a lot more effort than that. Ego gets in the way and winning is everything. When this happens, any relationship; between lovers or simply friends, is doomed. Good relationships, over time, must evolve into more than sex.

It's time to walk when you start asking strangers on an internet message board about it.

It's time to walk as soon as she starts to talk. That excludes moaning of course.

But really, if your asking yourself the question then the time was to walk has already passed.
