Author	Thread: when should I stay/ when should I go
gershonmn View Profile History	when should I stay/ when should I go Posted : 2 Jan, 2015 07:13 AM OK ladies I am over 55 (smile) and have been rebuked by my sister for staying to long in relationships ?? after knowing they will not end in marriage. So the question is based on our age/ how long should you take to learn about a person before moving on if they are not what you want to stay with for ever?? The answer is different if you are 25 versus 55 or 60. gershonmn Post Reply

If we seek marriage, then we cut bait when we know the relationship won't work out. . . However, that can be very difficult to do if we fear the loneliness of being solo. Best of luck as I know it ain't easy at our age. . ;-) Post Reply
Hisjoymypeace View Profile History	when should I stay/ when should I go Posted : 8 Jan, 2015 10:22 PM Well as NRSV1953 states, it does depend on what your looking for but what's been stressed here time and time again by forum participants, especially in our age range, is that rushing this particular journey most of us are on, is really not an option(smile)!! Yeah, if we had the foresight(which only God has) to know in advance how a friendship/relationship will end up without spending the time, emotions and possible finances in the process, we could avoid unnecessary disappointments but unfortunately that's just not how things work! Personally I've enjoyed forging, I pray, lasting friendships upon this journey of finding true love...focusing less and less on the destination! My hope is that from those friendships, "the one" will take his rightful place(smile)!!! Stay encouraged, allowing only The Lord to order your steps! Post Reply

If you want marriage you do run the risk of having to or being the one cut off when one of you finds promise elsewhere. First thought was: you said it yourself, why hang around if you want marriage AND have rules someone you're seeing out, move on. Gotta agree with your sister. Post Reply
