Being a quitter is a bad thing, right? I would say that getting into the habit of quitting, or quitting as soon as things get hard, would be a bad thing. But sometimes, for your own mental health, you have to know when to throw in the towel.
The fact is, some people are never going to be satisfied. No matter how hard you try, the end result will always be the same. When you feel that you are in this situation, ask yourself this: have I really tried my hardest? Have I put myself in the other person's shoes, and not just thought about it from my own perspective? Is there any more that I could do that would make a difference? If you can, with a clear conscience, know that you have given your best, and really thought about it from the other person's point of view, and that nothing more is going to satisfy them, then it just might be time to quit.
At some point in our lives, we all end up in relationships of this type. It may be with a family member, or a boss. We may have the option to get out of the relationship, or we may not. But either way, we need to decide what we're going to do.
It can get to the point where it is not healthy for you to keep trying. If you're really giving it all you have, and it still isn't enough for the other person, then it's time to make a change. There is no point getting stuck in a situation where you feel worse and worse, and nothing gets better. That isn't benefiting anyone.
Don't be a quitter. But know when it is okay, or even better for you, to quit.
