When is it Time to Leave a Relationship?

No one likes to admit that their relationships simply aren't working out. No matter how much you love the person you're with there are times when you're just not getting what you need from the relationship. You might even be beginning to believe that you have more down times than up together.

But how do you know when it is time to leave a relationship? Are there any sure signs that walking away is the right move to make? How can you tell? More importantly, what if you walk away and then discover that you were wrong?

When Should You Leave a Relationship?

There's only one time when I would dare to say that you should just walk away from your relationship. That is when there is abuse in the relationship. Whether it's physical or emotional and whether you are giving or receiving the presence of abuse in the relationship isn't healthy for anyone.

Walking Away – Is that the Only Option Left?

Being the one to leave a relationship that has had some really good times in the past is a hard spot to be in. No one wants to be that person. You love the one you're with and you don't want to bring that person pain. The problem is that you truly believe that staying will cause them even more pain in the future.

You really only have two choices that will allow you to hold your head up high.

1) You can call things off and walk away from the relationship. You can make a clean break of it now and save yourself a lot more pain and heartache in the future – no matter how much hurt it causes on both sides of the relationship today.
2) You can learn to ask for whatever it is you need that you're not getting. For some people this is the impossible step. Even if you could pinpoint what's missing (that used to be there) you'd rather set your hair on fire than to tell your partner that you NEED something. But, what if learning to do that could spare you both the pain of a breakup? Wouldn't you think it was worth it then?

There is another option that many people take and it's not at all the way to go if you want to have any hope at all of working things out down the road or maintaining any sort of friendship at all after the relationship ends.

What is it they do that's so harmful?

They try to force the other person to end things. They become as obnoxious as they can be in hopes that the other person will end the relationship so that they don't have to be the "bad guy" who calls it off.

This leads to genuine hard feelings and hurtful things being said all around. This is a person you love or have loved deeply in the past. You both deserve better than this.
