Respect/relationships/your opinion

Is there really any point in continuing a relationship with someone that you may have once loved and respected but no longer do?
And if you do then what does that say about you? Apparently you have no respect for yourself if you don't think you deserve the whole package.
Any thoughts?

Default user image Sometimes it takes awhile to face the pain. And also, it's not black and white when it comes to "once" and "no longer." In my experience it's very possible to love and hate someone at the same time. Deeply.

No. Not if you want to be happy.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Default user image Manipulate them to be what you want. It not who they are, it's who you are.

An image of carbrilee I mean that if you are willing to stay with someone even though you no longer respect them then somewhere along the way you lost respect for yourself if you don't believe you deserve the whole package, as in being in a mutually respectful and loving relationship. IN other words i know quite a few people who are in unsatisfying relationships out of some kind of desperation that they will never find anyone else.

That is why I always pull out.

This behavior is loving of neither the self nor of the other person. It's inhumane.

An image of JaredOnOKCupid Carly Simon wrote a song about this. "The Stuff that Dreams Are Made of." It's a good tune.

An image of ThorbyBaslim I have noticed a trend. A number of very intelligent women will jump to a negative conclusion about a man in a relationship. Then act on their conclusion without validating their conclusion is correct... I think the most important thing a woman in a relationship can do is not let anxieties or history play a role. It is easier to ask than assume... I have seen more than a few women involved with complete losers just because the guy is a known quanity; rather than deal with unknown.
