7 Signs It’s Time To End A Relationship

Ending a relationship with someone you care about is never easy. Whether it’s with a significant other, friend or family member, choosing to cut ties can be painful. However, it may also be necessary in order to protect yourself or to live a happier and healthier life.

Here are seven signs that it’s time to let go and move on:

1. You Don’t Feel Positive After Talking To Them

Every relationship goes through rough patches, but the majority of the time, your relationship should be positive. If spending time with someone makes you feel negative or brings you down, you may want to start keeping your distance.

2. You can’t see a future with him or her.

The most important point of being in a relationship is the idea of creating a future together, shaping and designing your life you are actively choosing to share with your significant other. If you cannot imagine a future with this person, then it brings about the question about why you are in the relationship to begin with and why you’re choosing to remain in a situation with which you have little emotional investment.

That isn’t to say having casual relationships are stupid or pointless – they can be fun and an enjoyable experience – but if you’re in a full-on, long-term relationship with someone, the idea of spending the rest of your life with this person has to be a large contributing factor to the relationship. If you’re not seeing or wanting to envision a future with this person, then it’s time to end the relationship and move on.

3. Physical Abuse

This might seem obvious, but when someone is deeply entrenched in a relationship, it is easy to explain away the behavior. They offer up a variety of excuses that justifies the abuse, as if any justification would make it okay. Whether it’s the first time or the tenth, physical abuse is never acceptable and is only an indication of future trouble and heartache.

4. You don’t feel free to be yourself.

No relationship is going to reach it’s potential unless both partners are authentic. You will feel stifled and suffocated if you cannot consistently express your true self.

5.You’re too tired to fight the truth.

Your sex life is a daily frustration, the person you love won’t open up and let you in, and you fall when you should be grounded in your love. When you sit down for a minute and get honest, you realize it’s too hard to keep fighting the truth. You realize you’re too tired to battle what you know needs to happen: it’s time to end a long-term relationship.

6. Your Aren’t A Priority To Them

If you’re the only one who cares to call or make plans, it might mean that your relationship isn’t a priority to the other person. If you have a hard time getting them to respond, or they frequently cancel plans with you, it might be time to let go and move on.

7.You don’t enjoy their company.

You dread spending time together with your partner. You feel comfortable hanging out with your lover as long as it’s with a group of friends. But every time you have to spend some *quality* time together, it makes you feel uncomfortable.
