WHEN ITS TIME TO END YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Like all good things, relationships, no matter how perfect
they seem, have their ups and downs. We all have difficult relationships with
the people we love, but in a healthy relationship you don't usually have to
worry about the occasional argument. However, at some point you may feel
insecure, and it's hard to ignore. You may feel that you've lost touch or that
a difficult event has undermined your confidence. How do you know if a
relationship is over? You want to take a closer look at your relationship with
your partner.
Leaving a long-term relationship and deciding to break up
with your partner can undoubtedly be difficult. Perhaps there was a
relationship, and it led to an unhappy but painful end. On the other hand,
maybe there was nothing "wrong," but you felt that the relationship
wasn't giving you what you needed to be happy. Or maybe your partner doesn't
have the same goals in life as you, and you need to end the relationship before
it's too late.
You need to end your relationship when:
You are a victim of abuse
A person who is being abused-emotionally, sexually,
physically, or financially-has a duty to end the relationship if it is safe to
do so. You should break up and leave your partner, even if you still love him
or her.
The relationship has no future
You may be in a long-distance relationship. You may live in
different countries. Or if the cultural differences are so great that there is
no hope of a future together without problems or loss of the extended family.
When you can no longer be together, no matter how much you love each other,
there comes a time when you have to end the relationship.
Another person seems more attractive
Fantasizing about other people is normal, but these desires
can be harmful if they interfere with your sexual relationship with your
partner. Whether you're holding on to your ex, falling in love with a co-worker
or lusting after strangers, it's time to re-evaluate your feelings.
You have different values and beliefs
You may have noticed that you and your partner have very
different values and beliefs. You probably know that you should end your
relationship because it is not good for you, even if you love each other.
It's the trust that's lost
Whether you're in a relationship with your partner or you've
broken your promises, it's hard to rebuild trust. If you feel you can't trust
the person in your life, this is a barrier to a meaningful relationship.
It is difficult to agree on anything
Another sign that you are close to breaking up is that you
no longer agree. When disagreements have to be constantly resolved, it can lead
to anger on both sides.
