Thank you for drawing your personal experience. This is my first relationship and it's hard to know what's a good decision to make b/c love is blind.

I think it would depend on how long I could emotionally handle it. Once it got to be too much for me, i.e. recognizing it as hurt, I would have to cut the ties knowing it would be better in the end for both of us.

My STBX is almost certainly an Asperger's person. They have trouble empathizing. I hate that I have to break up with her, but I think I'd have killed myself if I tried to stay.

thank you for the reply. would your answer to my question change if the hurting they inflict was not intentional, but is because they have a psychological condition that doesn't allow them to identify and express their emotion well, which come across as neglectful and cold? (Alexithymia)

then it depends on what commitment you have made (eg through marriage or if it is your child).... also if you cannot manage it, then your staying might hurt them worse than if you left, as well as hurting you. you must also question what attracted you to someone like that in the first place.... the condition was already present on the first day that you met

Depends on how I hurt them. If it were something serious I don't know if I could live with the guilt. And I certainly wouldn't be able to continue to hurt them on purpose.

ok maybe I misunderstood the question--thought I was doing the hurting. If someone was hurting me there's no way I'd stay.

but what happens if the hurting is not intentional? the hurting was a result of either their insecurity or because they have a psychological condition that makes them have an inability to express their emotion (Alexithymia) Would you want to help them or leave?

he has unresolved insecurities that he needs to deal with or needs help or guidance. the more i think about people and relationships, successful relationships usually present in couples that have a good balance and understanding of their insecurities so they have better control of how it affects the relationship. not understanding thyself = problems in relationship

I was in a relationship like that for 3 years. I just made a confession about my story a day ago so you could read it if you click on my profile but I'll try and share some here. My ex-boyfriend grew up in an environment where he was abused all the time throughout his childhood. His mom and his stepdad always abused him and treated him like a servant next to his half-siblings and this affected the way he lived through life. When i was with him, at first, it was the happiest thing I have ever been in. Then eventually we would get into arguments where he would slap me and hit me. He never did any of this intentionally because every single time he hit me, he would start crying and feel so guilty. He couldn't really control himself (and I don't blame him for all for it especially because of his living conditions and his abusive childhood). Because of his insecurities of being alone, he would not be very happy if I talked to someone other than him. Also because of that, he seeked out many other girls to talk to. It did hurt a lot. I thought it would be okay because we loved each other and after 3 years (and lots of threats from him later on because he didn't want me to leave), I was finally able to leave. I loved him a lot honestly and it may sometimes feel like it's worth it to be hurt and take in all the pain as long as you're with someone who you love but you won't realize how unhappy you may have been until you do leave the relationship. My story may be a little extreme but I wouldn't advise continuing to be in a relationship with someone who you loved but also hurt you. It may not have been his fault that he did those things, it may have been his condition, his childhood, or even his surroundings, but it's not worth it. Believe me when I say, you will find someone who will never hurt you and will treat you with respect and love :).
