It's rarely a case of one person being a complete jerk (tho that happens). It's just that no one gets along with everyone, and sometimes one person just doesn't fit. Sometimes that person is me. It happens.My reaction to those situtations is to try to work through the difficulties (after all, maybe I'm the problem). If, after a few sessions things haven't improved, I'll walk away. I never tell a group that they have to choose between me and someone else. I just leave the game, then some time later I'll let a few friends know that I'm interested in gaming, but only with those individuals. If they're interested, great. If not, that's ok too. We can always get together to do other things.I've quit games where another player was only out for himself (to the point of stripping the items off of dead PCs and refusing to give them back if the PC was raised). I've quit games where another player only seemed to have fun if he was ruining the game for everyone else (like deliberately playing an evil PC when he knows there's a paladin in the party). I've quit games where another player has a habit I just can't stand (hygiene comes to mind here). I recently quit a wargaming group because one player could not resist constantly telling others how to play the game, to the point of yelling at people if he didn't like what they were doing. In every case it was simply a case of my not having fun at the game, so why continue?Games are for fun and friends. My job is for spending time with people I don't get along with. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
