It would depend upon the relationship. And it would also depend upon my mood at the time the possible "kiss of death" occured. I have also learned to never assume that in dealing with people, they are going to understand me fully all of the time. I also have a tendency to give people more chances than they sometimes deserve.

Respect and Trust are high qualities on my list that if any of my relationships viloated would and has lead to the "kiss of death". The older I get, the less patience I have for those types of things. But, first and foremost, if the relationship is one that is very important to me, I will talk about it with that person before deciding that it is over.
