Just thinking out loud

[Bu****]

Just a question but if you are no longer wanting to be in the relationship you were previously in for a year, is it not your choice to call it quits?

[El****]

This is an oddly worded question but if I read it correctly, if you no longer want to be in a relationship, then don’t be in the relationship. You owe it to yourself and to your partner(s) to end the relationship, regardless of whether it is a relationship that lasted one year or one month.

[Ga****]

It is always the choice of who wants to leave. You always have the right to say no. This is the age of consent. The freedom of saying no is always ours.

[br****]

It IS your choice! No point in staying in a relationship if your heart isn’t in it! Everyone has the right/choice to say no!

[Saucy1963]

Always your choice. You and how you feel are paramount.

[Ms****]

This is such an odd, rhetorical question. You have autonomy. You make decisions everyday for yourself. If you dont want to be in a relationship after 20 years, you dont have to stay. One date, you don't have to stay. And you dont have to explain yourself, unless you want to give that courtesy to someone.

[PL****]

I feel this needs more context. However, we all have autonomy. Therefore, with no more context; yes, anyone can choose to end a relationship at anytime for any reason.

[Ch****]

You have the choice to do whatever you feel is best for yourself

Why stay in a relationship that you are unhappy in. It's just going to make you both miserable and unhappy..

[Ju****]

Staying with someone when you know you don’t want to be there isn’t fair to them or to yourself. Take some time to think it through, but don’t overcomplicate it. Sometimes I’ll write my thoughts down and come back to them later it’s a good way to see if my reasoning actually holds up.

Recently had a scenario like this where I was called selfish for wanting to end it, it was a very confusing time. But the reality is, if you're unhappy, ending it is in the best interest of everyone involved. Pretending to be in love with someone will hurt more

I have had ex’s end a relationship with me because they want to “explore their 20’s” enough said.

In Western culture, sure. Just get a lawyer first, because some can get... crazy
