[quote=Anonymous]Oh shut up PPs.  Maybe the high schoolers have the day off or something.

OP, listen to me.  I totally get where you are coming from.  The particular issues are different, but I just had a very similar conversation about my limits with my DH last night.  I told him the various issues had to be fixed, that I wasn't sure I could go on if they were not.  I said I wanted them totally and completely fixed for once and for all, and that I did not think I could handle it if they were not and cropped up again in the future.  He made promises of doing all the right things, but I made sure he knew I was relying on those promises.

I told him I was not threatening him, just being honest about how I felt.  I also said that the last time things were really bad, I would not have believed that they could ever be as good as they had since gotten, or that I would have stuck around for the current downward spiral.  But I did and am (so far), so I was not going to predict the future and issue an ultimatum or a threat.  I am not saying that is what you should say or feel.

Only you can decide if it is worth it, and sometimes I change my mind minute by minute.  When you are going through these things, it is hard to sort out.  I hope you get some support for yourself because you will need it regardless of what you decide.  In the past few days, I have hated when people told me I was strong and would get through it and could keep going.  Sometimes it does feel like you can't go on one day more.  That's when you need your support network or to decide the price is too high.

No one can say you didn't try, so this decision is only about what you think you can bear right now.  And post as much as you want.  Plenty of people do when they are going through something hard.  I am thinking of you.  Today I have a little bit of extra strength and energy, so I am sending it to you.

Signed,
OP of the past the breaking point thread
