For the alphas of the OT...how important was it for you to be the one to pull the plug on a relationship when both parties know it's going south?

I'm talking 2-3+ year relationships.

this is not a dress rehearsal. you get one shot at life. if you want to waste your time spinning wheels in the mud, knock yourself out.

otherwise, move on it.

Alphas don't get to that point, they ripped the band aid off ages ago.

If it was a short term relationship, I'd agree. It's much tougher when you've been with someone for a long arse time.

If you think it is over, it's best for both of you to end it ASAP.

It's teetering. And I'm an impatient SOB. I just don't want to pull the plug too early.

Don't waste time hoping it'll work out, life is too short.

I have pulled the plug on one and had the plug pulled on the other. Doesn't matter either way. If it needs to end it needs to end. People just have a tendency of trying to hold onto things longer than they should.

I got out of a 4 year relationship about 5 months ago. Things just got stale and boring. Basically became roommates. The only reason it drug on for so long is because there was a child involved. But now I'm a free man and it has been awesome!

Basically you didn't care who pulled the plug?

For those who think Alpha means a-hole then sure, otherwise it shouldn't hurt your ego if she pulls the plug. Just didn't work.

I've only been in 1 relationship 2-3+ and I pulled the plug, but that didn't make me feel more alpha or whatever.

Right there with you but no child involved

She now lives in the shithole that is central Louisiana with her parents. I took a job in Denver and my life has never been better
