Where do you draw the line?

Question

between "working" on a relationship and clinging to a bad one? How do you distinguish between excessive arguing and the everyday disagreements? How do you know when to quit or when to just work on it?

Answer 1

Well It took me four years to get out of an abusive relationship, it sometimes depends on the person and how they deal with things.

Answer 2

Funny how this showed up in drawing because of how you worded the question . . . .

You know, my feeling is that if you are asking this question, most likely it is time to move on.  

I could be wrong, however.  Sometimes you need an outside objective person to help with these kind of vicious cycle things that happen in relationships.  I'm not a big therapy person, but if you can find someone half decent he or she may be able to show you a better way to "argue."

Answer 3

Can you resolve the disagreements without "hitting below the belt" - attacking the other person or their goals?
