How can you tell if a relationship is broken, so broken that both of you can no longer fix it?

@Fungirlmmm: Hmmm?? That’s very incite full. By that logic, I guess that means that I should just accept the fact that she’s never coming back?? Hmm? Guess that means that it’s finally time for me to move on then. Wow, I really do hate that.

@RemovedUsername329422 I'm sorry, but it takes two committed to a relationship to make it work.

@Fungirlmmm: While I completely understand that. And I DO agree with that. However, I just can’t comprehend how someone can just “turn it off”? Like flipping a switch & saying, “Hey, I’m no longer committed to this relationship. So, it’s time for you to move on with your life, because I’m now giving up.” I just don’t get that. Perhaps I’m just dense? Either that or overly romantic??

I know where you’re coming from. Maybe they thought about ending it for so long. Without us knowing of course. @RemovedUsername329422

@RemovedUsername329422 People change and go in different directions. Communication is so important

@Menetics That is a possibility.

@Menetics: I don’t know. I guess that’s probably it. According to what she says NOW, she was often unhappy. However, she’s always been a “half glass empty” kinda person. So because of that, she has so conveniently FORGOTTEN all the GREAT times. Not even a week before she left, she was going on & on about how “blissfully happy” she was (HER words; not mine). So, NOW she’s only looking at the things that she WANTS to look at. She’s recently been going to Al-Anon. Through this, she says that she’s discovered some things. That because she’s the child of an alcoholic, she tends to “internalize” everything negative. That she “internalizes” her problems, and even does the SAME thing to OTHER people’s problems. So, I just don’t understand WHY someone would actively CHOOSE to worry about crap that (in the grand scheme of things) really don’t amount to a damn thing?!? But, again, perhaps I’m just dense??
