subject: Terminating Your Relationship [print this page] Ending a relationship isn't easyEnding a relationship isn't easy. You wonder whether to walk away from the relationship. You wonder whether you're being too fussy, and start to doubt whether anyone will love you as much again, you wonder if you'll regret your decision and if the person then won't take you back, you don't want to hurt the person, and you wonder how you'll cope without them in your life. You will discover many thoughts that cross your mind when contemplating whether or not to separate with your partner.
The thing is, that the reasons mentioned previously, aren't a legitimate reason to stay in a relationship which isn't working. And even when dying to part ways, ending the relationship can still cause much heartbreak for the two of you involved. You remember when you first laid eyes on one another, the very first date afterwards, the weeks getting to know each other, the positivity and fun in the air, contemplating sharing your future with this person. You then realise that none of this may occur, and it's heartbreaking, but you'd feel far worse staying with this person in the long run if they were making you unhappy.
In this article, I'd like to mention some signs which you can use as a warning, in an attempt to know if it's time for you to move on to pastures new. Make no mistake, ending the relationship could be tough, but in the end it'll be what's right to do.
A typical sign that there may be trouble in the air is if you rarely head out together as a couple. There's more to life than sex and watching the TV indoors.
Speaking about sex, this is another, some what obvious hint. If you no longer have regular sex together, this can be a sign that you no longer find your companion attractive. Obviously, it could also be caused by other issues, including stress or sickness, but if you feel fine, and it seems like a chore, the alarm bells should be ringing.
Lastly, the last issue I'll mention is when either of you always appear to be nit picking about something. If either of you constantly find a way to complain about even the most slightest thing, for example, the laundry wasn't done properly, or dinner wasn't done in the right way, this is another sign, and is equally harmful to both parties. Bad for the person who's doing the complaining constantly, as it's dangerous to their health to be in a negative state constantly, and harmful to the person on the receiving end, as it's puts them in a bad mind set, and lets be honest, who wants to remain around a person who constantly complains anyway?
