gut feelings

[bobsiesprincess]

how much weight do you give to a gut feeling you have that your relationship isn't going to work out??

[Jetta]

If I listened to my gut feelings I wouldn't be where I am today (miserable). God only knows where I would have been.

There is way too much credence given to gut feelings in my opinion. If gut feelings were as reliable as people say they are, the divorce rate would be near zero, no one would be able to be tricked by a con-man and we would have honest politicians.

Matters what the problem is.

I had that Gut feeling something was wrong with my marriage over 2 years ago. Maybe if I had pushed harder I might have found out sooner he no longer loved me.

hmm ... i tend to follow my "womans intiuition" these days ... im usually right ...

I think if you feel your relationship is going great and theres no problems don't leave. If you feel uneasy theres something wrong there, well evaluate your situation.

My experience has been that if I follow my gut feelings - no matter how illogical - everything works out for the best. When I don't - through wishful thinking, 'common sense' - whatever, things screw up.

Follow it always. There is doubt and then there is a gut feeling that something really isn't right.

You have a point, but what if it was because they never listened to those 'gut feelings'?

Because gut feelings are so often wrong - it's only when they are right that people say "See, your gut is never wrong' and forget all the times it wasn't.

 

As one example: I really didn't like one of my best friends when I first met him. It was only through circumstance that I got to know him better and realised my gut was just wrong.

80% of the time it works all the time.

I have ignored my gut feeling so many times only for it to be proven right in the end....especially with a particulary painful relationship episode this summer

 

Always go with your gut....I kicked myself for weeks afterwards as i had seen the situation already coming but walkked straight into a disaster anyway.
