User post: What is your breaking point in a relationship?

Okay, we all know I have a terrible habit of a little celebrity interest. Sue me. Who doesn't love picking up a UsWeekly or a People? Who doesn't enjoy the Huffington Post or NY Post--Page Six anyone? It's part of the American right to read trash.

Even men could be held for the crime. They may enjoy it in the privacy of their own bathroom instead of flaunting the glossy pages at the beach or the pool as women do, but they read it.

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have hit the skids again ? I thought this was old news. Are they not always fighting/breaking up/getting back together? It seems Samantha Ronson came home after what must have been a late night dinner with ex-Soprano actress, Drea de Matteo. The pair returned to Ronson's house at 5 a.m. An hour later, Miss. Lohan shows up banging on the front door of Ronson's home, screaming and yelling, accusing Ronson of being a "liar." To end the fight, Ronson threw a bag of Lindsay's clothes out the front door.

Thankfully, most people do not have to have their lives taped for the world to see, but how much is enough in a relationship before you reach your breaking point? Should Lindsay and Samantha call it quits and try to find a way to stay away from each other? At some point in a unhealty relationship you have to walk away in order to find your sanity, right? My breaking point with this story is now.

What is your breaking point when it comes to a relationship?

When is enough, enough in a relationship when it should done and over?

    Going over the same things. I consider myself a really laid back person and it actually takes a lot to get me mad, but once I'm there, I'm there. I hate when a guy either, keeps bringing up something old that we've argued about in the past, or keeps doing something that I already asked him not to. I don't like feeling like I'm stuck in one place. Either you're moving forward or your not.

    Life is too short to be going in circles. That's another reason that I don't believe in getting back together with ex's. If the relationship got to the point where it was so bad that the two of you split, do think that a person magically is not the same person that you left (or worse, left you)?

    If he ever hit me I'd hit him back then walk away and never look back.

    My breaking point? When I find myself looking for ways out. If I realize that I'm almost hoping for a fight to end it, then I know it's over. Other than that, abuse of any kind.

    This is a really good question...I am having this dilema now. When is enough, enough. He drinks, I don't. He goes out, I don't. He broke up with me last week but we have been through this before. He constantly chooses his friends over me. When is enough, enough???

    Lol! That's a good one Russell! The funny thing is, when you have your sight set on the next argument (as your way out) that's when they magically get super sweet and non confrontational.

    I agree with Maya, yeah realizing that the relationship is going in circles is a true sign that the relationship is at its breaking point!

    Another breaking point is: cheating repeatively,being verbal/phyiscal/emotional/mental abuse,abuser of drugs/alcohol/sex/children.. basically anything that is the opposite of love..

    I'd have to agree with Gypsy woman. If he hit me, I'd hit him back and run. Looking back would be questionable, since old "habits" *hehe* die hard.
