Although some people are totally fine being single, others have a strong desire to be in a relationship. While there is nothing wrong with having this desire, it can lead to getting into relationships that ultimately aren't good for them. If you are currently in a relationship that isn't meeting your needs, then it may be time to consider breaking up with the person you're dating.
If You…
- Are unhappy more often than happy when you're together
- Have extreme difficulty communicating with each other
- Don't have a connection with each other
- Realize that there is no hope for improvement between the two of you unless it's with someone else
…then it may be time to consider breaking up with the person you're dating.
Try Couples Therapy First
Before you jump into a decision to end your relationship, keep in mind that couples therapy is a great way to improve communication between you and your partner. While most partners don't want to endure months of therapy sessions, they can benefit from this type of treatment if they are truly committed to making their relationship work out. If couples counseling does not help, then you can proceed with ending the relationship because there ultimately isn't hope for improvement if the two of you aren't willing to work at it together. [In this case], You should break up with them!
Are They a Toxic Person?
If all your partner wants to do is drag you down, it probably won't be long before they have succeeded at their goal. Some people are just plain toxic, and there's no getting rid of them. While this type of person does exist, not everyone who seems like a toxic individual actually is one. If you suspect that this might be the case for your man or woman, then it would be best if you kept them around as just a friend instead of ending the romantic part of the relationship because everyone could use a good friend!
Are You Ready to Be Single?
For some people, being single is the last thing they want. They feel more comfortable when they are in a relationship with someone else even though it may not be fulfilling for them. If you are constantly searching for a romantic partner, then it could be because you're not enjoying your time as a single individual. People who are constantly unhappy when they are single typically jump into a relationship with someone else right away whereas those who enjoy being single will wait until the perfect person comes along.
Do You See a Future With Them?
When you ask yourself if there is a future with your man or woman, it could be because they are the best thing in your life. It could also be because you don't see yourself with anyone else which is why it's better to leave them be. If you are the type of person who dates different people all the time, then there probably isn't a future with him or her. If you see your man or woman as someone that you want to be with for the rest of your life, then you should make an effort to keep things going strong.
Are They Critical of You?
When a man or woman is always critical of their significant other, it's because they have serious issues. Yes, even those who are in committed relationships can have problems with being judgmental from time to time. If your man or woman often criticizes everything that you do as well as what you wear, then it might be worth breaking up with them because there isn't a future for the two of you together. If you don't want to be judged all the time and if your significant other doesn't either, then it might be best to end things now before those negative thoughts turn into something worse.
Do You Trust Them?
If you feel as though your man or woman is hiding something from you, then there's a good chance that they are. People who aren't ready to commit to anything in life often keep things hidden and won't tell anyone anything about what he or she is doing when they go out at night. This behavior isn't acceptable for those who want to be with someone else because it shows that they don't trust you. If you want to build a healthy relationship with your significant other, then it should be built on honesty and trust. If those two things aren't there from the very beginning, then they probably never will be. Break up with them!
Do You Want Your Freedom?
Some people are constantly unhappy in relationships because they are afraid of being on their own. They might have been raised to think that being single means something is wrong with them which is why they don't want to be alone. If your significant other is not supportive of you have some time to yourself, then it's probably time for you to break up with him or her. It's important to make time for yourself without your partner because it will be beneficial for you in the long run. You can't become reliant on someone else to take care of you when things get tough; that person might not always be there.
Are You Happy?
If your significant other makes you happy, then it's worth sticking around with them. If you aren't happy with their behavior and the way that they carry themselves, then it might be a sign that you should end things because there isn't a future for the two of you together. Even though you might not be completely happy in your relationship, sometimes you have to put up with those blues until something better comes along. If their personality is everything that you want in a man or woman, then it might be worth sticking around with them for the long haul.
Do You Still Want to Be With Them?
If you are still on board with being with your significant other even though they make mistakes sometimes, then there is an underlying message behind this behavior. Those who make mistakes all of the time don't know how to treat a man or woman properly which is why it's time for you to break up with them. Some relationships need constant work in order to get things going, but if your significant other isn't willing to change then it might be worth breaking things off. People who constantly make mistakes don't want to get better; it's time for you to leave.
Are They Unappreciative?
If your significant other doesn't appreciate all of the little things that you do for them, then they don't deserve to be with you. Though you might take them out on dates every once in a while and make sure that everything is going well at home, you should be appreciated for that behavior. Those who don't appreciate the little things in life often find themselves alone. If your significant other doesn't appreciate you, then it might be time to break up with them and move on because there's someone out there who will love everything about you.
------------------------------------------------
Be careful that these reasons are not justifications for breaking up with someone for the hell of it. Depending on the situation, breaking up with them may be the best course of action. In other cases, it may not be the best thing to do. The only way to know for sure is to trust your intuition and go with what you feel.
Always keep in mind that there is a difference between a relationship and a perfect relationship. You can't expect your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife to be the perfect man/woman all of the time. Nobody's perfect so you have to give them leeway when it comes to making mistakes from time to time. If they truly care about you then they will understand that and work with you in order to make things better.
Before taking any action, just take a moment to realize that you have a good reason for breaking up with someone. It might not always feel like the right thing to do but it is necessary in order to get out of a bad relationship.
Couples Counseling is a good resource if you can't think of a reason to break up with your significant other. They will be able to help you figure out what's best for you in order to make this difficult decision.
