@joeyarnoldvn: Should I Leave

Should I Leave my Lover?

A relationship is a 2-way street. Negotiation, compromise, and especially communication is critical in the checks and balances between the partnership between 2 individuals.
.
I would not encourage men to break up with women prematurely or too aggressively on the foundation of emotions and other things too.

In other words, if a man promises to stay with a woman, the man should consider keeping that commitment to the extent the contract between the 2 parties were perhaps not violated.
.
I would have to study a particular case in order to make a judgment as each case may vary.
.
I don't have any statistics on hand, I don't know how often these types of issues happen.
.
I would not want to try to put too much blame on one gender over the other exclusively, it can go both ways, that is abuse, neglect, etc.

If you are in a bad relationship, you should first try to make a deal with your partner to fix it over a course of some time. If not enough progress is being made, then you probably should begin to try your best to end the relationship and that includes ending marriages with divorces if need be even tho I am against divorce in general. I encourage people to stay as far away from divorce as possible and to leave it as a last resort. But eventually, you may have to separate if compromise can not be met. If a negotiation, a deal, cannot be met soon enough, if progress is not being made fast enough and often enough towards a deal which both parties can agree upon, then an exit strategy must begin as soon as possible.
.
The problem is when people don't take the time to try to work out a relationship or they are unable to realize they probably need to end the relationship eventually. And it is critical to talk it out with the other person the conditions in a calm voice.

Simply let the other person know what is expected from them. If the other person cannot meet the demands, then you should either come up with new demands to try again on making a deal or leave, period.
