Sometimes you reach a point in a relationship (not limited to romantic) that you think "what did I get myself into?" When you reach that point, do you back away or go forward and hope things get better? How long do you hang in and keep hoping?

Gone, no hesitation, in fact in most cases running is a great idea. Hope is a polite word for self induced delusion, not something I do.

A person who gets into a bad situation/relationship KNOWS it ... then; it is up to THAT person to get OUT of that situation .. 1) They can give like a timeline such as 3 Months for things to get better or LEAVE ... or 2) They can just go ahead and cut their losses and get out of this bad relationship ASAP and begin their new life .. +5

I like to just be upfront about things. Relationships tend to get worse and worse and more and more complex (not in a good way) when the two people just wait and hope and ride things out. Every relationship where there isn't upfront communication is doomed. If it's an issue that I just can't deal with (and shouldn't have to deal with) then I will bail. Sometimes it isn't easy to just say bye and bail, but, sometimes it's better not to drag things out.

While I might back away from pursuing a "deep" relationship, I tend to keep moving forward to see if there is anything salvageable in the form of friendship. I'm in one of those now, and I'll have to let you know how long I hang in there.

If your feeling "what did I get myself into", it's time to be thinking "how do I back out easily". I don't know why we "settle" for relationships that we have to keep hoping will get better, when deep inside we know their not going anywhere. It's time to get out. Now.
