I should have known my relationship was doomed when…
LOOKING in from the outside, we often wonder why some people wait so long to walk away from an unhealthy relationship. Many of these relationships start out quite smoothly, but then something goes wrong. What was the sign in your case? This week All Woman reveals comments from readers about the moment they knew their relationships would not last.
Monique:
I should have known when I realised that we shared different values as far as it related to family, religious views, personal views, and financial position. I know everyone is different, but when the differences outweigh the similarities, when they become an issue and a barrier to the peace between us, I should have known it was not going to last.
MD:
I knew it wouldn’t last when she started lying. She also started treating me as an option, the communication withered, and she stopped showing emotion.
J:
When he initiated marriage discussions before I did.
Tina:
I should have known it wasn’t going to work when he was still texting and calling his ex.
KW:
I should have known it wouldn’t last when I found out how much he loves to party and flirt around with other girls.
TC:
He was a nice guy, but too traditional for my tastes. He wanted me to do things like peel green bananas and grate coconuts, and while that would have been bearable, he refused to experiment at all in the bedroom, and words like foreplay were foreign to him.
V:
He was too egotistic and disrespectful. I was suffocating. It was always his way or the highway. It reached the point where I kissed my teeth and went my way.
AJ:
I knew it wouldn’t work because of the long-distance relationship and our different views on mutual goals.
Jody:
When I couldn’t find myself able to trust him based on his dishonesty and him not admitting to the small mistakes he made.
