… to your stressful job, your doomed relationship, your selfish roommate or your ungrateful house guests. Regardless of the situation, these are signals that it just may be time for you to consider leaving.
- You can’t stop rolling your eyes behind their backs
- They’re talking and you know you should give a damn – but you don’t
- You dread waking up on the days you know you’re going to have to face them
- You chase each encounter with a vodka double (or its equivalent)
- You’re lying to them more than you’re telling the truth
- Daily you fight the urge to throw up your hands and tell them you quit
- You’re seeing or considering seeing someone else
- If someone outside of the situation asks how things are going, you snarl and bark like a rabid dog
- It’s nothing at all like how it used to be and you just don’t feel the same
- Constantly you wonder if it’s worth the agony
- You’d rather eat boiled liver smothered in lima bean gravy than try to imagine staying together forever
- You’re ready to go as soon as you get there
- You’ve completely lost all desire to try yet again to make it work. You’re so done.
(Before you worry, this post is just in good fun and I’m all well and good. Mostly. **throws back a glass of vodka**)

Oh, wow, I feel some of these apply to my relationship. But then, that bottle of vodka and a cave to write in are all I’m really interested in these days. Sad, but you made me laugh!
Vodka, a cave and a fully-charged laptop with MS Word on it DOES sound pretty awesome.
Why have I been through all 13 of these at some point in my life? LOL And you are so right, it is definately time to go when all 13 of these things are happening. LOL Love it!
*smooches you up*
Great advice!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
Hm. Is there a line – if you answered “yes” to more than half of these….
lol. Fortunately for me, my dissertation will be through soon. Really.
Um yeah, there’s definitely an unspoken line in there about answering “yes” to that many!
Glad to hear it’ll almost be over soon for you at least, though … *sips more vodka*
Please tell me you made that lima bean gravy thing up. Because even just thinking about that makes my stomach turn. Seriously the worst food ever invented.
Yes, I totally made up the lima bean gravy. Or least I hope it doesn’t exist. Eww
Who among us has never felt like this on occasion? As for houseguests…at least you can throw them out. *wicked grin*
Oh, heavens! I’ve been there done that with so many jobs (and a couple of guys)! LOL!
Great list!
Happy TT!
Awesome list. Always enjoy your 13
Thanks, Peach!
Been reading my blog, have you? LOL!!!!
I’m going to go and boil some liver now….
*blushes* why yes, I HAVE been reading your blog. I wasn’t trying to specifically call you out (you happen to be one of three people I know of with special “visitor” problems right now) but I did do an extra toast and shot just for you when I wrote it!
Whoo, work is getting close…
*pours that double shot*
*clinks shot glasses with you*
Let me know if you need to lay upon Doctor Tati’s couch …
o.O…
So true, though; so true. You only live once.
Been there, done that, said goodbye!
never had a good relationship so I’ve been through all 13 at some point…
And most know I’m fed up with the workjob…actively seeking better employment
that damn workjob caused me to be late posting to 13 Thursday cause they were working me like a hebrew slave trying to make bricks without straw
*Pats ur back* But you know if they didn’t work you so hard then you’d just be up to all kinds of unsmurfiness…IJS.
Yeah, I was thinking about your job situation too when I wrote this, Beth.
