How do you know..

When you have absolutely no doubts about giving up. If you still have doubts, then it isn't time yet.

I disagree with that. Sometimes your heart disagrees with your logical mind.
 
When it hurt too much to try to keep holding on.

I agree. Only when you have something that you can see and feel...can you let it go.

When there are no more bloody bits of the dead horse to beat on.

I don't, incidentally, recommend this as a yardstick. You end up looking like an ass most of the time and people tend to point and whisper a lot. Very embarrassing. And you have to apologize a lot and that's just too painful for words.

Hello, jp.

I'm the wrong person to ask about such things.

I'm a hanger on-er.

I am too...but I am getting tired of hanging on.

When you finally realize that no matter what you do,no matter how hard you try, you cannot affect the outcome of the situation, that you find yourself in. A sobering reality takes hold and you give up. A difficult place to be,especially if one is not used to giving up.

I don't give up easily.. maybe that is a good thing or a bad thing.. depending on how you see it.
 
Sometimes I don't think it gets to be your choice to give it up or not...sometimes...its the other person who makes that decision.

What's really fun is when you think you've let go, then something happens and you know you've been deluding yourself.
