Before You Breakup
Anthony Ekanem
Relationships can end up either good or bad. When there are many complications between you and your partner during the relationship, there is no point in continuing together. You may end up with troubles which are more serious or the breakup may get uglier.
How to know it’s time to breakup
These are some warning signs showing that it is time to breakup.
Have no desires to see each other.
You and your partner text or call each other most of time, even at work, but now it seems annoying sometimes when your partner calls you. Hence, you don’t respond to the calls. You may even try to avoid each other, avoid meeting each other even when both of you are in the same house. You would also prefer to hang out with your own friends and spend time alone.
Lost trust completely in each other or start betraying each other.
When suspicion becomes harder on each other, there is no trust between each other. Having little or no trust towards each other can lead to many misunderstandings and conflicts, including cheating on your partner with someone else.
Feel less happy than before.
Relationship gives you contentment. Love gives you joy. However, if this relationship infuriates you or causes you stress, then it may be time to call it quits. Consider whether this is the right relationship for you and if your partner is the right one for you. If you feel less happy and constantly have negative feelings, it is best to walk away now.
Domestic violence creeps in.
Sexually, physically, emotionally there is presence of abuse, and these never make a successful relationship. If you find your partner abusive or violates your personal rights, it is advisable to break up and set free from the bondages. Seek help from others or organizations if it is hard to get away from the abusive relationship.
Making your final decision
To be the one to request for a breakup can be stressful, especially when your partner is someone you loved so much before. Whatever the reason for the break up with your partner, you must make sure this is the final decision and that there is no turning back.
Steps in Making Your Final Decision
Think about why you want a breakup. Think and consider all the reasons that are making you leave your partner. Was it just because of temporary negative emotions? Was it because of conflicts involving legal issues? Do not make hasty decisions, and be reasonable on why you want a breakup.
Make a list of all reasons to breakup and possible solutions. List down all reasons you had considered for a breakup and possible solutions to solve problems, if you think there is still a chance to save the relationship. This will help you to have a clearer view for your decision-making.
