If your BF/GF was to tell you they want out of the relationship, would you let them go peacefully, or would you continually try to get them to change their mind, lets say to the point of them blocking you ?

I would let them go peaceably. There's no reason to fight to keep someone around when they don't want to be.

Depends on their reason.Is it something you can change? Are they bored? Did they meet someone else?
Depends on how much I really care for the person I'm not going to beg someone to stay if they are going to be miserable but if it was a misunderstanding I would certianly want that cleared up.

Yeah, once the GHB wears off, and they gnaw through the ropes, I don't mind if they go peacefully. I mean, at that point, I would feel they were not staying because they wanted to! rofl

Seriously, I don't want to be with anyone that doesn't want to be with me. Let them find their happiness.

In my experience, even trying to clear up a misunderstanding isn't even worth it. If the person wants out, they want out and the only way to proceed is to let them out. The last thing I'd want is to be a burden on someone I was dating.

The only time things get dicey would be if the person who wanted to leave all-of-a-sudden wants back in for some nebulous reason. That can be a wee bit disconcerting, especially in light of whatever issues were present before the break up.

Peacefully, I think it would be creepy to try to get them to stay if they didn't want to.

Why would you try to change their mind? That's like saying, would you fight for your mate? NO because they are going to end up with the person the want to be with any way.
I might hold the door open for them so they could leave a little faster and so they would know that I wasn't hurt that they were leaving. flowerforyou

See, that's not an issue for me. I don't give second chances when it comes to my relationships. When it's over, it's over.

I only made the exception once, and that was when I was married. I took my vows very seriously and did everything I could to make my marriage work. Just didn't know at the time that I was fighting a losing battle. But hey, you live and you learn, right?

Yeah, except for when they start whining to come back. That's happened to me a couple of times- they break up thinking that they'll someone better, only to find that the dude they found was a lot worse, so they try to come slinking back. Makes for some very awkward times... especially if you've moved on and found someone else.

Let them wine! They'll get over it sooner or later. They made their bed, let them sleep in it.

Yeah. That's about the most you can do- let them whine and moan about it all. After all, THEY'RE the ones who broke up with me... NOT the other way around.
