Do you personally consider double standards and hypocrisy (especially the more severe/common they are) reasonable reasons to end/want to end a relationship with a partner?

A person can end relationships for any reason or no reason at all.
Thanks for this!

Feel like that pretty much goes without saying, but is not the point of the post at all. I didn't ask if a person has any right or no right in general to end a relationship.
Thanks for this!

If they aren't kind to you and you can leave, do it.

This video I think speaks to that issue in the best way I have ever seen presented:


I have kids and can't leave my situation without causing them harm.
I have pretty much given up on the chance to enjoy my life, so it doesn't matter for me anyway.

Personally I don't care if a person tries to use double standards on me or not. I do what I know is right for me. If that causes a conflict, I really don't care. If they don't like me blowing them off then it is their problem not mine

Too much of your question is tied up in subjectivity and lack of context. The answer is yes, no and maybe 😅

Yes, when it comes to double standards and hypocrisies and the way these things can impact your feelings/my feelings, the first thing I do to try to mitigate perhaps an 'over the top' reaction from me, is to ask myself with sincerity and real honesty - no censoring, no justifying, no juggling the facts etc etc - is if I myself am acting with double standards and hypocrisies anywhere in my own life (I mean we're just people right? not gods. And usually the answer is 'yes' I have them - and I thnk we all have them.) At that point it's a case of well, I want to iron that out from my own inner being first before pointing the finger - Inner stability, not anger and retribution, is the key thing for me with my mental health.

But double standards are everywhere in life. If these people annoy you put boundary up. If not annoy you - accept with love

If the person engaged in such behavior once or maybe even on occasion, then perhaps you can both work on it and get to the bottom of it and improve. If however your partner always or often applies double standards and hypocrisy to you and treats you badly, then it could be grounds for ending it. Honestly it’s hard to answer in generalities because it depends on what you are referring to
Thanks for this!

Everyone's different. For me, it would just depend. It's always best to talk about those things at the very beginning, so you know what you're getting yourself involved with. I'm always right up front about things that need to be addressed right away.

Please elaborate a bit more about your situation.
Thanks for this!
