I measure every relationship by both of our own happiness. If i dont feel that I'm happy with someone then i feel that i could be miserable by myself. It goes both ways if someone isn't happy with me then i would let them go because they deserve better than what i could give them. And in my opinion every relationship is worth rebuilding you have to atleast give a try. We are human all with different feelings and opinions and we won't always be on the same wavelength all the time, sometimes we have to bend and not break.

With friends, it's much easier to forgive and forget. It all boils down to the good times. Does the union create good times, or are they just a pastime, to pass time? Also, it depends on the reason for the breakup. If it was a money thing, let it go and learn your lesson.

For family, I can't give any advice. I have a difficult time forgiving family. It's too easy for me to hold a grudge.

Romantically, that's a tough call. It's one thing if the breakup was amicable and/or due to what I'll call inert issues, such as proximity to ech other has changed, completely different lifestyles or cultures, family acceptance, etc.

Any of those types of breakups are worth reexamining and could be resumed without much issue. It's when the breakup was due to a break of trust due to infidelity or betrayal that are hard to overcome. When trust has been broken, it shows their capabilities, their value or your trust and that there is a point when they will throw it all away

I think the the most successful relationships are when one of the two is a little bit more into the other one. They seem to last the longest. For me, a good partner is one who makes me strive to be a better person and the best version of myself, without it feeling like its a chore of any kind.

Don't expect anyone else to supply you with happiness. We all need to be able to find our own happiness and bring it with us to ADD to the relationship. Don't let anyone reky on you to provide them with their happiness. Thats not a relationship. That's an enablement, if that's such a word..

...and never offer anything you can't afford to lose. ..no matter how dire their situation seems to be. Anything given, should be given as a gift, not a loan. Lending anything with an expectation of a timely return usually results in negative feelings when its all over. ..even when its just a pair of shoes or something.

It's not easy pushing people you need away, and it affects you negatively. But if it's bad enough, it's worth it. You have to commit to not going back to old ways.

For me no matter what type of relationship it is it's about how they treat me I treat everybody well and if I don't feel like I'm getting that in return then I no longer want to be a part of that relationship be it a friendship be it a romantic relationship or whatever it is it's all about treatment treat others the way you want to be treated

I'd have to tidy up inside of me first before I'd attempt to invite myself into someone's life. I have no intention to rebuild any lost friendship again because I believe that I don't have much to offer to anyone. I'd be like those people who initiate conversations and then don't even have much to say, just expect you to talk.

I only burn those bridges if I know that person isn't healthy for me to be around anymore . It's not an easy decision but one that is needed for my own mental and emotional well being

A lot of stuff people wise to me isn't worth the effort anymore. I'll die alone and less miserable without having people I can't justify in my life.

I take life one day at a time.....

If they have a personality disorder, or have shown signs of severe mental illness then they are out. They will drag you down, and if you were to reproduce with them, you'd contribute to the further dysgenics of the population.

would they rebuild a relationship with me? how hard would they really try? sounds silly but i saved a lot of emotional investment this way
