    It's never a good idea to fight to keep people in your life, or (to put it another way) to stop people from leaving the relationship. This is not only because it rarely works, but because -- when it does work -- you end up with something that isn't worth fighting for: a high-conflict and unstable relationship. If someone tries to walk out of your life, let them. Don't chase them down. Anyone who walks out must decide to walk back in.

      @psychacks I never should have gone back to my boyfriend after I left him twice. Unfortunately, I married him after that and was stuck in a high conflict relationship for 20+ years. I wish I had known what narcissistic personality disorder was back then. My new motto is, don't let the door hit you on the way out, even though my feelings may be hurt. It saves me from a lot of grief later.

    I started listening to the feeling I got while spending time with several family members and friends in the last 17 years. Up until that point, I was more interested in how MANY friends I had, not in how I felt in their presence. Once I changed my priorities, I ended up exiting the lives of 3 long time friends, a brother, a sister, and my mother.

    Like always, Desire is NOT negotiable. If you’re doing everything right and your partner is still trying to find their way out, chances are they don’t find you desirable anymore, or they never did. Even if you did fight for the relationship, you humiliated yourself in the process, which further lowers your status in their eyes. Now that dread they felt about you transforms into deep resentment.

    This is so fucking true. Am divorced now, having ended a rather chaotic marriage. Looking back I would have avoided all this had I let her leave when she requested to do so early in our courtship, but I begged and pleaded my case. Her lack of fear of ending that courtship was the start of so much disrespect in our time together. Once she left the house after marriage hoping I'd follow her and beg for her, it gave me space to allow another wonderful woman who is not only agreeable but respectful the over, and the rest is history

Initially I tried and tried to maintain the marriage only out of a sense of Christian duty. But eventually I couldn't deal with her anymore and said go ahead and go, so she filed for divorce (she later blamed me for causing her to divorce me because she said it was my fault for not fighting for her). Even the Bible (1 Corinthians 7) and the Catholic church doesn't force you to tolerate that. If a woman uses the threat of divorce, the correct response is "Ok bye."

    People reconcile all of the time. And it’s usually after they regret leaving you. But how it happens isn’t always them coming back to you first.
    Sometimes, or rather in reality, you both are missing what each other brought to the table. And growth and maturity causes you to feel empathy for the other. So when you eventually reconnect , those feelings show up again. And a new relationship is born.

    I was in a protracted situationship with a woman who was trying to explain to me that many men desired her (I think Taraban likes to call that high optionality or something like that) and, while she had a point, I simply said "I'll never compete for your love and affection. I can freely love you, with all of your flaws. If you cannot do the same then you have something I do not want or need" and it was probably the first time in her life that she was talked to in that way. The look on her face was something to behold. I mostly agree with the spirit of what he's saying here. I'd add that it's not always the case that the other person is going to make that decision to leave the relationship. Sometimes you have to make that decision on behalf of the other person. In whatever relationship that you're considering, you should always be considering whether or not the relationship is working for both parties and if it is not then it is an unhealthy relationship and ties should be severed (even if you're the one who is benefitting from the relationship). Relationships should be symbiotic, not parasitic.

    This is how I've been for 20 years, since my second relationship. Always been perfectly satisfied with my own company. Whenever a woman has tested me by threatening to leave I say 'go on then' & retract all of my attention from her. She says 'omg why won't you fight for me, you're x, y, and z ad hominem attack'... I say 'I'm not going to fight you... for you. You're choosing to act like this, if you want to be with me then just choose to stop it. If you don't, then go. You don't get to emotionally torture me to assuage your attachment insecurities.'

    Less people is less problems. Also realize that a lot of motivation to chase is ego based. Its the percieved rejection by the other person that implies one is flawed and so to avoid this hit to self esteem and self worth, one may be tempted to prove their value. Reduce ego, and indifference will be second nature. Indifference to both admiration and rejection. Finally, never care more for people than they allow you to care. If they don't care to leave, you shouldn't either.

    The issue is, that men are differently wired then women. She goes out, "enjoyes" her options and when she "realizes" that she gave up on something worthy, she already did what was most sacred to the man.
    Thats why many cultures didnt even allow at all for women to make this type of decisions, because they understood how much they lack rationality and maturity overall.

      And what's your solution regrading your belief that "women lack rationality and maturity?" To enslave them into "no options?" Here's some heavy realism for you: the vast majority of women have top notch selection radars (their emotions are worth 100 male "rationalities"), except that under monogamy most must simply settle. If the woman wants to leave - she has her reasons; and since she is part of the relationships, those reasons MATTER.
      Now that she has options, including that of solo living, without having to put up with a bad or even unsatisfying relationship just to be able to eat and save face - most men naturally bemoan the situation.
      Instead of complaining about women's "immaturity" and exit options, and how they need to have their agency taken away from them (do you hear yourself?), how about focus on finding a woman who's sufficiently inspired by you where she'd want to be with you even if she didn't need to.
