Sometimes romantic relationships just don't work out.
Even if you've tried and tired...
and tried to make it work, there are situations when things just aren't working out.
But how do you know when it's time to throw in the towel and break-up with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Here are some indicators to keep an eye out for: 1.
Physical or emotional abuse.
Too many times women (and men) stay in relationships in which they're being abused physically or emotionally.
The mistake is to give the abuser a second chance (or multiple chances).
That's one of the biggest mistakes you can make in a relationship.
Instead, you should get out of the relationship immediately.
And particularly if you're in a live-in relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend, it's important that you immediately get out of the apartment or house.
2.
Different life goals.
It's OK if both of you don't like octopus ice cream or anchovy pizzas.
However, it's quite another thing if both of you have different life goals.
While there's often some give and take in relationships, the situation is different if the two of you have different visions about where you want to be in life.
When that's true, then it may be time to break up.
3.
Recurring problems related to you.
It's human nature to believe that we're always right.
However, if a problem arises in your current relationship, which existed in a previous relationship-then the problem could be with you.
Do an honest self-evaluation to determine if there are any recurring problems that are related to you.
If so, then perhaps it's you who needs to change.
4.
A constant yearning to be with other people.
Yes, there are times when we need to spend time away from our boyfriend or girlfriend.
But when you constantly want to do that, it might be time to end the relationship.
Similarly, if you spend most of your time arguing, then continuing the relationship could be futile.
As we all know, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
5.
Stumbling blocks preventing you from reaching your potential.
Think about your life goals and dreams.
Is the person you're in a relationship with helping or hindering you from fulfilling those goals and dreams? If you're not better off than you were as a single person (in terms of those goals) then you should certainly consider breaking the relationship and then getting on with your life.
It's a tough decision, but there's that old saying that "life isn't a dress rehearsal.
" Don't let someone prevent you from fulfilling your goals and dreams.
6.
A continuous criticizing of him or her.
The longer we've been in a relationship with someone, the more we know about them.
But if you find yourself constantly criticizing your boyfriend or girlfriend (or worse, finding reasons to do it), then maybe it's time to break-up.
It's normal for relationships to experience some pitfalls.
But if you find you and your partner spending more time in them than out of them, then it might be time to end the relationship.
