How do you know when a relationship is over?

Most people don’t exhaust every ounce of love there is left between themselves another person they’re involved with. Some people cannot walk away until they have. When a relationship is between one who wants to salvage something and redefine a relationship before it’s all gone and a person who needs to torch it to the bitter end, the separation process is going to be ugly. So. When is a relationship over? It is over when it’s over. When do you get to walk out of it? Whenever you want to. When other things take a priority. You cannot decide how the other person is going to take it, all you can do is to do your best… And try not to repeat the same mistakes in the future (lifetimes)… Whatever you now consider having been a mistake.

You’ll leave once you’re ready. You’ll accept that the other left once you’re ready to accept it. There seems not to be much sense that can be talked into people in these situations. Do you want absolvement of the sin of leaving? You’ll give it to yourself when YOUR MORALS state so. You wish I could give it to you, but I can’t. My morals are simple: You go when you need to go. No need to hang onto something that isn’t what you want it to be and will never be, right, but your morals are not my morals, and you’ll have to ask yourself: What would give you the absolution you seek? Act accordingly. Do whatever you must to make it OK for yourself. Then, you ask what does the other person needs in order to let go. You do what you can to accommodate, but nothing more – because you can’t do what you can’t do.

I could analyze this to death, and in this case, the analysis would be completely wasted. It’s over when it’s over, and it won’t be over until it is over.
