Maybe you aren't satisfied in your relationship, but are having a difficult time deciding whether to break up. Ending a relationship is never easy after you have an established bond. Healing from a breakup and then starting over takes time and an emotional toll. You don't want to make a hasty decision, yet you need to assess your relationship with brutal honesty. There comes a time that the signs of needing to break up becomes obvious.
Abuse
If you are being abused in any way, it is time to break up. A healthy relationship is not built upon abuse. Abuse will destroy the relationship. Abuse isn't just physical harm, but also emotional and verbal harm. You deserve better than to be abused.
Lack of Respect
If your partner does not show you respect now, they probably won't in the future. A partner should help build you up, not cut you down. A partner should appreciate and cherish the person you are. Being with someone who disrespects you will take its toll. You will feel a great emptiness.
Cheating
Cheating is often a deal breaker for most relationships. Some people are willing to forgive a cheater, but if you are not married, give serious consideration to breaking up. The cheating partner you are with now may very well be the cheating spouse you are married to in the future. Save yourself a lot of heartache and get out while you can.
Lying
No one is immune to telling a white lie now and then. But, if lies come out of your partner's mouth every time it is open, it's time to break up. A relationship cannot thrive on lies. You will begin to doubt everything about your partner and will never truly know who they are..
Lack of Responsibility
Maybe your partner has a good sense of humor and is fun to be around. That's great, except if they are irresponsible in general, the fun will come to an end, fast. If your partner does not take responsibility for being a grown up, you will carry the burden of most everything. Do you really want to hold down the only job in the household, pay all the bills, do all the housework, and get very little out of the relationship? Your life will be like raising an overgrown child.
Some people wait months or years to break up when the red flags are staring them in the face. If the signs are obvious that you need to break up, don't draw it out too long. You will only harm yourself and the relationship by holding onto something and someone that isn't good for you.
