Never burn a Bridge !

You might have to go back across.

Figure of speech
Reference to a relationship.

Ever heard this saying? What do you think ?

Yes, many times.

Some bridges need burned, but choose wisely before setting it a blaze.

In my business life I live by this rule. I never burn a bridge..never.. it is unwise and not professional.

Always take the high road... always.

I guess I can see the wisdom behind not burning bridges.

I know of a situation where a couple broke up amicable split , and a friend of her cousin met the ex and they hit it off, and often said thank God I wasnt mean to her or burned that bridge .

The opportunity would have never presented it self or who knows fate might have brought them together online, not on M2 but other sites.

I usually try not to.
With the X, I 'closed the bridge' but left it there and she burned it down trying to get back across it.
I'm glad she did.

Depends on if the bridge is healthy for you emotionally? If it’s not ... burn it to the ground :fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:

I think its mostly wise to focus on those things about others that we can continue to related to and set the relationship upon, unless they are somehow toxic to our lives.

Relationships, are one of those things,
that should never, ever, be recycled.

Well, it's a METAPHOR, after all.

I've never ACTUALLY burned an actual bridge, and besides, all the ones around here are made of concrete and metal.

When it comes to people, I think perhaps "don't add insult to injury" might be a better saying to attend to.

Every now and then, I've come across people who were in the midst of something like a personal "fad" approach to dealing with others, where they thought that in order to show that they were part of the "in crowd," so to speak, or that they were "strong," that they had to do more than simply say no or goodbye to would-be suitors or lovers. It's a bit similar to the developmental stage many young teens seem to go through, where they think that they have to ostentatiously insult someone who they don't want to date, rather than simply saying a polite "no."

And certainly, some people absolutely need to burn THEIR END of a "bridge." After a painful breakup where the other person was actually bad for them to be around, it's an important and logical thing to do, to throw away or delete all phone numbers, gifts, emails, online links, and so on. Just no need to go over to that person's house and key their car, or anything like that.

So maybe, if you think you do need to burn a bridge, make sure just to torch the end you can fix any time you want to.

Depends on the person on the other side of the bridge. A relationship breakup is never a walk in the park, and the longer the relationship the more difficult it is to keep civil.
When a deluded self-entitled ex is trying to poison your life then you better blow that bridge sky-high.
Luckily I haven't had to burn bridges except for certain fake "friendships".
