Guys! I've lost 12 years of my life on a pathetic relationship and 5 years on a shitty job. The reasons were I was STUPID not to end the relationship sooner (and blind),and I was AFRAID to change the job,considering how fucked up it is these days in the whole world and insecure. Last year I got rid of her,this year I finally plan to get rid of the job aswell and move onto a new adventure. I saved some money in the piggy bank too. I got rid of one disease,now it's time to get rid of the other one! Guys,don't be afraid to make a drastic move when it's needed!

I once had a relationship with an alpha woman. She was a radical feminist lawyer with a psychology degree. Super smart, very attractive. But, after the honeymoon phase it became apparent that I had become her enemy and that I was never going to make her happy. She was a deeply unhappy person who had limited capacity to compromise so I had to walk away. It sucked badly at the time because I genuinely loved her. But sometimes love isn't enough and you have to walk.

Knowing when to quit is like the serenity prayer: accept the things we can’t change - like female nature; change the things we can - like our own behavior; and be smart enough to know the difference - so walk away when we can’t impact the outcome or the outcome is going to be bad. I think a lot of us men struggle with the walking away part as we see it as failure rather than just accepting what is. Like pilots flying into bad weather, sometimes it’s in our best interest to execute the 180 and fly away from the storm.

I have never quit on anything major in my life. My first career, my relationships with women, family members that bring drama.... It has brought me much unhappiness in life, many decades of feeling like I was living in the howling winds of 'the hurricane'. My life has not turned out 'as promised' for being a 'decent, hard working, dependable guy'. I read a quote that I found brutal that said, 'Sometimes we have to walk away from those we love most to save ourselves'. I have applied this to certain elements of my life and the relief and freedom has given me peace in those elements of my life. I totally get this concept, but acknowledge 'taking that leap' can be 'fear greater than the wolf itself'.

A major reason to keep on going is the sunken cost fallacy. You have invested time, money, energy and when it doesn't work out, it seems at first glance that all this was for nothing (and sometimes it really is just a loss). Then it's better to keep the damage limited, and walk away. Of course knowing when it's the right time to do so is the difficult part - a question of experience, realism and self reflection.

As energetic, success-driven people, we are bound to encounter more conflicts than mediocre people who take whatever life throws at them without complaint. We acquire the wisdom to work through our conflicts by the experience of learning that there are multiple options to resolve conflicts, not just the binary "yes/no" or "stay/quit" options we saw when immature. Then we need to develop diplomacy skills to persuade people we are conflicted with to join us in pursuing the best path for both of us instead of inflaming them with words that offend their brittle egos. Experienced baseball players know there are nine ways to get on base and recalculate the odds of any one of them with each pitch. It sometimes helps to talk to a reputable attorney or business consultant who through long experience knows all the options. At least you will get a broader base of information on whether to fight, take flight, or do something else you wouldn't have know to do on your own.

MY SAYING : " IF YOU KEEP DEALING WITH PROBLEMS IN A RELATIONSHIP......THEN YOU RELATIONSHIP BECOMES .........................A PROBLEM ! " My other saying is that relationships should be 70% positive,....... 20 % issues and problems and ......10 % crisis like an illness or death or financial . BUT,..... iF your in a relationship is 70 % bad then it's flying an inverted plane so .........RUN !!

I don’t call what you’re describing ‘quitting.’ It is more like recalibrating, reorienting, refocusing one’s efforts. When flowing water runs up against an immovable object it accumulates and then finds another channel to continue the flow. Sometimes the immovable object is worn down in the long run after all. It’s life! Keep up the great work Rich!

I've done this several times in my life, to move on. But I noticed people are stubborn and people hate change, some stick to their ways, even when they suck.Some people hate to admit they did/do anything wrong. Some people know their life sucks, but they can't seem to figure out how to get out to a better place. Like you, I would apply this to everything, to work, to relationships, to friends. If you don't like the thing, you don't like the person, cut your losses, as you said, if it's for a little while, sure, but if it lasts, get out.

It's incredible that a company designed to help people struggling with debt could be essentially penalized so that the big credit card companies and banks can continue to profit. That, in and of itself, is a topic worth many more discussions.

People don't like letting go of something, maybe because they think it's all they've got or can have. Sometimes 'nothing' is better than having what is bad. Vacuums always get filled anyway, other opportunities do come along. The object is to gain self insight and improve on a situation the next time - and not to do the same thing again and again. The problem is seldom the other woman or situation, it's the person looking in the mirror. Change the inner belief system and the external choices change with it too.

I had my own version of this … going through a toxic divorce. Ex used all the tricks… false DV claims ect, I’ve dealt with these well and come out with ‘wins’. Through lawyers I have done my best to engage with her to sell our home. Her name is on the title so I can’t just sell. 18 months later I have finally quit … can’t get further into debt for her she has been obstructive with the bank so I have run out of options. Now I have to suck it up a loose a shit load of money … but my sanity is worth it.

Everything in life is based on ROI. You have to evaluate everything you do in life and determine what has been ventured and what is to be gained. If the juice ain't worth the squeeze then pivot out of the situation.
@petermyers57938 ай бұрын
Valid points well made, BUT; you’ve omitted another, equally crucial point. That point is that there are situations in which, without persistence, battling doubt etc, you simply will not prevail, and persistence gets the job done when no amount of skill or knowledge is humanly available to know if the successful outcome would be possible.

BOOKS. If she does not read ANY books, you are in for a lifetime of pain. Even reading romance novels is enough, although it would be great if she threw in some classics or Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books. So, if she's a dummy who never reads, doesn't practice a hobby or art, doesn't play any instruments, you had better think twice. Even if she believes her purpose is to be a mother, that will get old, too. I wish I had pushed my ex to take up a hobby. She got boring and dumb as time went on. Then, she ambushed me with an order of protection then a divorce.

Here is a topic for a future video. I am a newer sub to your channel and I just started reading your book a few days ago. I love the book and your philosophy has awoken me to what women are really about. What is your opinion on dating women whose offspring are no longer in her home. Kids that have grown up, married and have moved on in life. I’m 46, divorced with no kids and I’m finding that a lot of the gals I am interested in have kids in their 20s and are no longer under the same roof. Is that still a no-go zone?

I never look at ANY relationship as “ quitting “ ….when a TOXIC relationship starts to affect your own MENTAL HEALTH….as much as it might hurt/ walk away with your own DIGNITY… relationships take work & sacrifice on both parties involved. Have enough respect for yourself and your own mental health and well being to move on. God Bless & have a safe, Happy & Healthy 2024 😇🙏

0:45 Sounds like Cluster B personality disorder(Borderline, Narcissist, Histrionic or Antisocial), not Type A. Amber Heard has two of these disorders Borderline and Histrionic personality disorder. If you search relationships with any of these disorders, you will find that its not your fault, relationships are impossible. For me it took over 10 years to figure this out, when I accidentally found that such disorders exist.
