    Where do you "draw the line"?

    Being slow to anger, tolerance, turning the other cheek, letting bygones be bygones, considering the source....all that is well and good, up to a point, say I. 
    When is enough too much for you?  
    I just hit the stop button over a marriage about which I was the last to learn.

    I draw the line when my patience runs out. That will be sooner rather than later, if I catch on to the fact that I am being used or manipulated by someone. Other than that, I'm really not able to answer your question.

    Serious question sweetheart.

    Don't over analyze.

    Didn't. Ask your better half to what this is in reference when you have time.

    Romos, i would like to see that bloke in a front on shot,,i gotta ask is that a legal action.?? i canna get over how much turn he gets,and very late too,,,wonder what his score card looks like,,,,>>>>>><<<<<<<

    Think of yourself for a change, let them sort themselves out , even if they take the wrong path.

    Bob/PKB

    I feel really selfish, but need to take a stand. Thanks for the supportive answer, sunnyB.

    Enough is enough….  Been there and done that before. Can’t answer your query though. I usually stop having anything to do with the situation and wait for it to go away. I know why you are hurting so and I don’t blame you. Just get on with your life and pretend it never happened to you……..


     

    Me being the peaceful person that I am with a high tolerance, I draw the line when enough is enough and I can't tolerate what is happening anymore.I have been in a few situations like that and have took drastic measures just to keep my own sanity.

    Bob/PKB

    Thank you PL. For a long time I responded with a loud voice and angry words. People expect me to blow up and create a scene. With what's going on now, I've responded with disengaging from the people and the situation. There have been some hurtful words and actions thrown at me, foolish comments from fools, but I am comfortable with the way I fielded them.

    Yes, use whatever coping strategies that you feel best.

    hey Bob,not sure if this falls into your question,,but it does fall into "enough is enough " i was about 18,my mother had told me to stay out of her affairs,,one day i went around to see her, i had been away for about a year,she opened the front door,and her whole face was broken,her head twice its normal size,,apparently one of her blokes got jealous,cops simply called it a domestic ,,nothing done,,,,,and thats when i called it "enough is enough" , that bloke went to hospital for awhile,,,i might take a different road today,,but it was the right road back then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Glad you sorted him out Terry. What a low life woman basher.
    Bob/PKB

    I hope your Mom realized WHO needed to be out of her life! And I hope the cops just called that beating another simple "domestic". Good job!
    terryfossil 1

    no Bob, cops did not get involved in this one either,,I was on parole at the time,so i was a bit worried,,i had a couple of bikie mates pay him a visit in hospital,,they politely asked him to keep his mouth shut.......he did,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,always nice talking Bob
    Bob/PKB

    Sometimes a person just needs a little nudge...

    The line as you put it Bob,i think is that Obsitcals to some people are mole hills to others,and Vice versa,Although I think there are definletly some no go areas for us all,

    Like ROMOS, I do not have sufficient info to make a useful comment, sorry.  I hope all works out for the best that it possibly can, however.  You do deserve some peace and harmony in your life.  Regards



    Yes ..agree with Ben....you have to draw the line at a point before you are in danger of letting others get the better of you...and recognize the point at which you are in severe danger of going into total meltdown...your health and well being is the most important thing..if you don`t self preserve then you are risking both...It is really up to the others to work out their own problems without running to you every 5 mins..hard to let go I know..but please at least take a step back!


    Good Luck!XXX

    Bob/PKB

    Thank you, Millie. This line was huge and most likely permanent; not an easy choice, but continuing on as it's been isn't an option anymore.
    MILLIE333

    Definitely time to leave them to it..at least for a while and start working on your own well being! XX
    Bob/PKB

    Yep. I have left them to it before, and watched nothing particularly positive come of it; hopefully, it will play out better this time. I have serious doubts.
