It's hard to end the relationship even if you know it's a good decision

The end of a relationship can be very difficult for all involved as it signals the end of an era which can be quite unpleasant sometimes. Besides, if you decide to end the relationship then you have probably destroyed all your options to be with a certain person in the future. You may take the decision badly even though you know it is good for you in the long run.

End of a relationship because of an unfaithful partner

Partner's infidelity brings a lot of lies, secrets and sadness along with it. Such feelings have no place in a happy relationship. You have every right to end the relationship because of your partner's promiscuous behavior without any bad feelings unless you're in an open relationship. You should face the fact that you will not be able to trust your partner ever again.

If the relationship has not future it is better to end it

If you think about the future of your relationship with doubt then it is a good decision to end it. Why stay with the same person for the next 20 years if you cannot think of one good reason. If you are already facing troubles then you should carefully think about what you want in the future and if the current relationship can offer you the things you want.

You are interested in other people

If you fantasize about other people a bit too often or if you hope your flirting will result in a new relationship and you avoid your partner away sexually, then you should think about the reasons for your behavior. There is no need for other people in a solid relationship. If you also visit dating portals and look at all the things you're missing while you're in a relationship then you might want to ask yourself if you really want to be in a relationship or not.

You say 'I' instead of 'we'

You have probably noticed that couples usually use the word 'we'. It is unusual if you always talk like you are single while you still spend a lot of time with your partner. If you notice that you prefer to do things on your own and leave the partner out while describing your adventures, then you should ask yourself why. 

No guilt after cheating

If you know you did something that is not fair to your partner but you do not feel guilty about it then your relationship is facing a crisis. Even if the action was commited out of anger that is not an excuse. Lack of respect is a definite sign that the relationship is coming to an end.

Fantasizing about the end of relationship

If the end of a relationship is your biggest fantasy by which you feel relieved then ask yourself what are you still doing in a relationship?

Repeating the same mistakes

Your past relationships usually serve as an experience from which you can learn certain lessons. Many people learn from past mistakes and promise to themselves that they will never repeat them again. If you notice that your current relationship is going down the same path and the relationship pattern is the same as in the past, where you ended up hurt and lonely, then you should immediately end the relationship.

 

So, is it really time to go separate ways? Your decision to end the relationship should definitely not be based only on the list above. But if you experience most of the things described here, then one of the options is to call it quits.
