When the relationship is dying, shouldn't the two partners discuss the issues in the relationship that is causing them the problems?

Once you get to the "dying" stage, I would think it is a bit too late to try and start to "communicate." Usually, communication ends up being the reason the relationship is dying... if you wait until that point, more often than not, it is probably too late.

The relationship you once had with your boyfriend is over so time to move past him and know that it takes two for a relationship to work not one.

I was in a dying phrase with my relationship with my fiancé in the past but we talked it out before it went dead and worked through our issues and everything worked out. In the end it worked because we both wanted it work and made it work, so anything is possible.

Both people need to have a vested interest to make the relationship work. One person can't do it all.

as jmw stated, both people need to make the effort, and both need to WANT to make the effort. You can't force someone to want to fix things. That person has to make an effort on his/her own.

also jmw, love your quote. =)

I have heard it. I love Seether

Let it die, like KC said, once you reach the dying stage that is basically the point of no return

When one partner has had enough, what are you going to do?

You mean dying because you think your BF just dated you out of peer pressure?

Ideally yes partners should discuss the issue but if the other one is not cooperative then you're done.

Indifference means I don't care.
