I think people don't start feeling suffocated in a good healthy relationship. Typically relationship is unsatisfying and on top of it one person wants something the other cannot give.

I think actually leaving is way more wise and kind than staying and seeing the person less. It's not nice to leave rudely and in s degrading manner but I don't think leaving means loss of respect at all.

Also if somebody likes me more than I like him and is more into me I wouldn't want to stay around. Talking through not gonna make me like him more. The only thing to talk through is to let him know I have to move on. Same way I don't want to stay around if I am more into him than he is into me. That's actually loss of respect for yourself.

I do agree about talking things out and finding balance but it depends what about. Not everything could be resolved in a conversation. Lack of feelings for the person can't really be changed by talking it out.

. We had to talk and find balance with my BF yesterday. I had concerns about him not taking charge in regards to what needs to be done for hosting holiday and constantly asking me for what needs to be done ( even something I think is common sense), and he brought up that last time he took charge of what needs to be done I kind of snapped so he now waits for my direction (valid point). Certainly wouldn't break up over this, it had to be talked through and mended.

But it wasn't about how we feel about each other, that is not a concern, it was about how to balance our personalities in completing everyday tasks ( him being laid back and me being high strung).

If the conversation was about how one of us likes the other more and is more into other person then suggesting string each other along seeing each other less would not make sense. In fact if someone isn't that into me I would be appreciative if he left ( if I have no guts to do so myself) !!! I wouldn't want to stick around. It is either there or it isn't
