Have you ever tried to split someone up?

What did you do? Did you succeed? How do you feel now about it?

Or did you have it done to you? Did you realise what was happening?

God no, that's just mean! Even if you think you are doing it for the person's own good I still think it's out of order and in abusive relationships people have to decide for them selves.
I have had people come on to DP, one very pushy person but he just cut contact.

Gosh that almost sounds like interview questions

Doesn't it fuzzy?

And all of the OPs other posts were written today. Seems like a very odd post for a new member...

WineGummyBear · 24/05/2018 18:51

Nope.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 24/05/2018 18:51

No, why would you?

Loopytiles · 24/05/2018 18:51

Er, no!

People can only be split up if they WANT to be split up.

I think you need to elaborate OP if you want some actual advice.

If you are trying to split a couple up. STOP that's just horrible and means you are an awful person.

If you think someone is trying to split you from your partner. Talk to them (your partner) and figure out how to tackle it together. If your partner doesn't prioritise you and your feelings, your probably best splitting anyway.

Sorry to worry anyone. Not new. NC'd as my previous username was becoming identifiable IRL

Previously I overshared online and was trying not to share anything so just asked questions. Bit lonely IRL atm so spending a lot of time on MN

Wish I was a journalist as I need a job!

Is someone trying to split you up or you're trying yo split up someone else?

Not trying or going to no. It crossed my mind and wondered how awful that made me or if others would depending on the situation.

What is the sitauion with this couple? If there are children involved or they've been together for ages, definitely leave them be. If it's casual - maybe.

I've never done it so can't recommend anything!

I’ve known people that have.

When I was in the first form of senior school.

Doesn’t this only happen in Eastenders?

Not sure anyone I know who did that would have any friends. Hideous creatures! Very sad thought that anyone would really plot that...
