When is it time to say stop? When is enough, enough? Is there such a point? How do you justify staying in a relationship thats abusive emotionally, physically or sexually?
Our friendships we say should last through it all, no matter what. If we fight too much do we agree to disagree? Do we put our foot down and stop letting the person hurt us or do we keep going back and taking it over and over for the sake of 'trying to talk it out'?
In our love relationships, when we say 'till death do we part' do we stick by that person when they abuse us or is that a breach of the vows on their part that makes it alright for us to leave?
What are the boundaries? At what point to we cross over from 'someone who runs from their problems' to 'someone who was smart enough to get out'? Someone please tell me because I'm tired of debating it. I'm tired of not knowing what to do. I'm tired of doubting myself. Are our boundaries all our own? If so, how can we ever expect anyone to resepct them. There's no possible way for someone to list everything it's 'ok' to do or say and everyting thats not... so inevitably the offending person has no idea until they've already crossed the boundary.
How many chances should we give? How many days, weeks, months or years? How long must we hurt before it's ok to say stop?
