Have you ever let your boyfriend talk you out of breaking up with him just in the nick of time? If so, you're not alone. According to February's issue of Glamour, 40 percent of the women surveyed have been talked out of it mid-split, usually because he said "I love you" or I'll change." Although those are nice words to hear, would that be enough for you to have a sudden change of heart? Ladies, what I want to know is, have you ever let someone talk you out of a breakup?

Nope.
When I decide to end a relationship, I do it and don't look back.
1yup, this was the reason why I stayed in the horrible 4yr long relationship. if your gut tells you to leave, YOU LEAVE!
2Yes I did (before I met my husband). And that was exactly the reason why I stayed in a very horrible insecure relationship for 2 years coz I thought "my love" and "his promise" would change him.
3just yesterday, what a coincidence
4it's happened before, mainly because i really didn't want to. if i really wanted to leave, then i would have.
5Yes.
6My ex did it a lot.
But after 2 years we both figured it wasn't working out and mutally split.
I've never been talked out of a breakup (when I say it's over, it's over!) but I've talked my fiance out of it, haha. He's very irrational when he's upset/angry and says stupid things, and I refused to let him do things he would regret in the morning, because once I walk out that door, I am NOT coming back.
7but it was secretly cuz i wanted to stay. but when i put my foot down i put my foot down, and that was that.
8Yes, one of the worst decisions of my life. If it was over a first time, it should stayed over. It obviously wasn't going to work a second time. He wasn't magically going to change into a better person.
I will never make that mistake twice.
9Nope...whenever I had made the decision to end things (which usually took a lot because I'm pretty non-confrontational), I was done.
10Yes, but only once. I don't fall for those tricks anymore!
11No way - or at least not yet. If I end it, I generally have good reasons, and there's no going back... although I sort of wish I had been talked out of my first breakup with a bit more success... I regret it, now...
12I'm with you, Meike. I've been there.
13I talked HIM out of a break up over almost two years ago. Things have been great since then (I think he was getting cold feet because his best friend was getting married).
14yes, but in my defence it wasn't a premeditated break up - it was one of those angry spur of the moment things. But when I actually started thinking about it seriously and did it, I don't think anything could have talked me out of it. But then again, by then he didn't try, so who knows =/
15no. by the time i decide i'm done; there is no talking to me.
16I`ve felt that my relationshin wasn`t going in the right direction before and every time I tried breaking it off he always jumped in and save it all. His first "I'll change" didn't work, second didn't quite become true either, but I guess guys need more than just one push sometimes, especially when they're young. Now "I'll change" actually works and we're engaged!
17relationship* teehee
18NO, WHEN I SAY IT'S OVER IT'S OVER!! When i told my friends i was going to breakup with my first boyfriend they tried to convince me to stay because he was ''cute''!! i broke up with him because he was a a*hole and a liar!!!
19Yes, and it was a 5 year marriage, so I was more apt to want to stay. However, once I finally made my mind up that I WAS leaving, he wasn't able to change my mind with an "I'll change." I knew better!
20I have, but it was a seriously bad relationship, abusive and manipulative and I admit I was totally controlled by him. It took some time, but I finally realized I was better than that, and I had to get out and did. He certainly guilted me into staying for a lot longer than I ever should have though.
21Yep... guilty. I say some things I don't mean when I get in horrible moods, a fact he's well aware of.
22I have and like everyone else it was a horrible relationship that I ended up going back to. The man was manipulative and was abusive. Blah.
23Unfortunately, yes. It was a disaster.
24Yup... For almost 4 years and then I find out he has an almost 1 year old son... I hit ghost on him with the quickness...
25Sorta yes once as my bf put so much effort into our anniversary night that I didn't have the guts to break up with him then.
Another time another boyfriend pulled the "I love you card" when I asked for a break. I knew when I felt like that still wasn't good enough that we were going to break up. And we did.
26I have been talked out of a breakup, and I ended up staying in the relationship for months longer than I should have when I knew I wanted out. I think in general letting yourself be talked out of it is a bad idea.
27I was talked out of it three times in one relationship. Think we both would have been better off if it had ended the first time I tried. Oh well, you live and you learn.
28Unfortunately, yes. When I look back at it now it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Thank goodness I'm not in that situation anymore!!!
29yes and so glad i didn't i was young and thought he was holding me back
we dated for
6 years before that and now we have been together for 13 years
30Yes, he talked me out of it, made the changes that I had wanted and now we're engaged! We definetely talk things out better now
31Yes, but then I broke up with him anyways a few days later.
32I tend to get irrational when I'm upset, and I like to be left alone. However, if I feel any hint of annoyance at my boyfriend during this time, I am quick to dump him. Thankfully, he understands how I work, and he's supportive, but at the same time, forces me to re-examine my decision without being pushy. Of course, thirty minutes later, I realize I was foolish.
33Nope, I really didn't see any reasons for NOT breaking up.
I did talk someone out of a break up though, but that was only to (mutually) break up a month later. Long story.. :/ But I still find it really sweet that he liked me enough to give it another try. Or maybe he was just too daft to actually say there was a problem before.
He's a nice guy, but he's a weirdo.
