I think that I do try live and let live. If I don’t agree with how someone is living – I don’t try to STOP it – the most I feel I can do is disentangle myself from the situation. I will still be nice and polite, and friendly but if we are not sharing the same life views – is there a need for us to maintain the relationship? I don’t know…

But what I really need is for other people to be honest about how they want to live. My (soon-to-be-ex) husband hid his sexual identity from me, only to get mad at me when I found out his secrets and accused me of somehow not allowing him to live how he wants to live – well, what was I supposed to do?

We separated and now he has a webpage, lying about his age, profession, and everything else – yet his motto is, “live and let live”.

Is it okay to live and let live if a person is knowingly endangering themself? When do we intervene (nicely – with advice?) When my husband says, “it would be better for my family if I was dead” and gets involved in abusive relationships and dangerous sex – do I stand by, shrug my shoulders and say, “live and let live?”

Help me with some advice… what are the limitations of “live and let live”... I need peace!
