How Do You Know When It's Time To End The Relationship

We all know that there are certain things in life that are not meant to be, but how can one determine what was meant to be from what was not meant to be? We must rely on our judgment, some relationships are meant to be and some relationships are not. In this article I will discuss some things you should look for that will help you to determine what is best for you.

Most relationships usually start on a good note, you may think you are in love but you may not know enough about the person you are dating to make this decision. As time goes by you will learn many things about your partner, good things and bad things. Many people will focus on the good things about their partner because it's the good things that attracted them to the person. However, the bad things should not be overlooked.

As you start learning new things about your partner you should make a list of 10 things you like and 10 things you dislike about your partner. Once you have successfully created this list you should try to determine whether or not the good things outweigh the bad things.

You should focus on the 10 things you dislike about your partner, if you can accept these imperfections of your partner then you can say you are truly in love with this person. If you cannot accept these imperfections you should reconsider your relationship.

Once you have created a strong bond with your partner things will work out fine in the relationship, but what will you do if things change in the future? How will you know when it's time to end the relationship and move on?

1. When you no longer look forward to seeing your partner or speaking to your partner on a regular basis.

2. When you are constantly bickering and getting into fights with your partner over silly things that you never argued about in the past.

3. When you feel like cheating on your partner because you are trying to punish them for something that has happened in the relationship.

4. When you no longer feel physically and emotionally attracted to your partner.

5. When your partner is consistently lying / cheating on you.

These are signs that things have changed in the relationship, many times we will ignore these things because we are still in love. When you start experiencing any of these problems you should speak to your partner about it. If these issues cannot be resolved you should consider ending the relationship on a good note. If you stay in an unhappy relationship too long it will only lead to anger and resentment in the future.
