How easy do you find it to walk away from someone?
Be it a potential meet, a friend or something more.
Are you a one strike and you're out kinda person or do you give too many chances?
Do you have anyone in your life you just can't let go off?
Do you ever wish you could be more ruthless when someone keeps hurting you or taking advantage? |

I'm a 2 strike person, hurt or piss me off once and I'll let it go but do it again and I won't. I can walk away from people yes it's not easy sometimes but if you feel the need to then it has to be done! |

I recently walked away from somebody whom I knew would not be good for me in the long term. Found it a lot easier than I thought, and that included moving back to Liverpool. But there are some people in my life that I could never walk away from as it would feel like I was giving up on them. All in all it can be so hard to walk away but if your happiness is at stake I always say you have to take the hit no matter how hard. You as an individual need to be happy as that's what life is all about, living not just existing  |

One strike and I’m out. I’m not good with second chances. If someone hurts me or mine in any walk of life, once the trust has gone it’s gone. Life’s too short for negative or shit people in my life. |

I used to really struggle with cutting someone out but now I find it so much easier |

On here it depends. If there's a genuine reason I may give another chance. Once I walk away though I don't look back. IRL, with friends and family, I give more than one chance. I find it hard to hold a grudge. I find it easier to give second chances when it's to do with me but hurt my kids then there's no second chance or second thought x |

"It depends on what the first strike is, people do make mistakes and it would depend on the circumstances too."
What if it was consistent? You forgive them the first time but they do the same again? |

I guess once you've made the decision to walk away it's the sticking to it that's hard. |

"I've had to do this a few times last year, it's painful and hard but ultimately you have to look after yourself.
Walking away is never as simple as it sounds though"
No it isn't there's a lot of muddy water goes under the bridge to get to that point. |

Do you think having physical distance from them made it easier? |

I can't walk away from my long term partner.
Part of me thinks it's time to call it a day; the other part is struggling with knowing I'll never see him again.
I think I would prefer it if he just stopped asking to see me and he gradually went further to the back of my mind.
Anyone else, I would easily walk away. |

It depends entirely who they are. Someone in work nah fuck off. Someone you've friends with give them a second chance. Someone you have loved...well that's a lot harder |

It's the holding a grudge part that's hard I think. They do something and you forgive them and move on so it's kinda like a new slate where the next time is a bit like strike one all over again. |

Oh no if I forgive you or give you a second chance I'll not think about it. I'm really soft hearted but once I decide you've had your quota that's it. Your out my life completely. With me if your in your in and if your out your out |

Very difficult. I never hold a grudge and rarely get angry over things. I always prefer to let stuff go, forgive and forget. It takes a hell of a lot for me to fall out with someone and be done with them. |

It really depends.
Someone who was really important in my life blew hot and cold and made me feel second best a lot stayed in my life for six years I think. It came to a head in July last year and I just gave up on him. Talked briefly at Christmas and that's it. I feel better off and more free for it.
I can be quite soft on people I care about but I can be pushed too far on rare occasions. |

Quite possibly! But if I'm being truly honest the distance had started to come between us even when we where in the same room. In all fairness though I have walked away from some people I would never ever want to walk away from ,including the love of my life, because I wasnt good for her back then and didn't like the person I was becoming due to that x today? We are great friends, holiday together and even talk about the potential of getting what we had back...15 years on sometimes letting go is the only way we go forward |

I’m much better at this than I was. I’ve got another test coming up, when I walk away from something I’ve been involved in for 15 years. But I’ve announced I’m going so.... |

With people who mean a lot to me I've had to really work at improving my boundaries. It may take a while but I will walk away if it's in my best interests. |

I gave my family many many years of chances and excuses before I cut them off.
Other than that, I don't think I've ever made the decision to cut someone out of my life, of course relationships have ended and friends gone their own way but non with the finality or drama of cutting people out of my life. Mind you I'm pretty good at not letting people in ti my life in the first place so that's possibly why

Very easy.
I used to give chances, once upon a time. Not anymore.
I can, have & will cut someone of out of my life completly, the minute I feel something is not right, or I'm not happy.
As the saying goes 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me'
I'm no fool, and I'm too busy living a great life to need to put up with fools in it.

Exactly that yes. I've tried and tried with my family but something happened over the last couple of years and I just got to breaking point.
Once I made my decision my mental health improved dramatically and I've hardly looked back, Christmas and birthdays are hardest but I know I made the right choice for me. |

Unless they're very important to me it's one strike and I'm done..
close friends and family are a different dynamic. It would take something monumental to write those relationships off.
I've had to temporarily remove some family from my life for my own wellbeing. But it was completely necessary for me to cope and they to understand. We have rebuilt our relationship and are better for it as ultimately I know that they have my best interests at heart. |

Too many questions to answer all in one go OP
I’m not good at walking away, it’s an area I need to work on.
Generally it doesn’t affect me but every now and then I think I should toughen up and cut loose those who let me down continuously. |
