3 Signs It’s Time To End Your Relationship Right Now
Realistically, most relationships don’t last forever. That’s quite a deep sentence to begin an article on, and it’s not going to make you happy! It’s a sad reality, but happiness does exist out there. Some people have one relationship their entire lives and it is perfect. For most of us, it’s a case of enjoying a few bad experiences before finding the one!
Keeping that in mind, you could be in a position where you need to end a relationship. Nobody likes doing this, and you can often overthink or talk yourself out of it. I’m not a huge fan of rash decisions, though there are instances where you shut cut your ties right away. Let’s look at the main signs it’s time to end your relationship right now:
Your partner forces you to do things
This is a terrible sign as it shows they’re too dominating. It can also vary in severity, but it’s always a sign that things should end. On the worst level, your partner could force you to have sex with them. They might guilt trip you and make you feel bad for saying no, which ends with them getting their own way.
This is technically sexual assault as you didn’t want to have sex, and they manipulated you into doing it. If this has happened to you, you should speak to the police about it. I know lots of women are scared to do this because they think nobody will take them seriously. Sadly, that’s true, even though false sexual assault claims account for about two and eight percent of all cases. Still, you need to be bold and push ahead with this, as it’ll be even worse if you do nothing.
Your partner is never honest with you
Does your partner always withhold information from you? Have they come in late at night and given very bland accounts of where they’ve been? Relationships are built on trust, so when that goes out the window, so does the relationship.
If you can’t trust your partner and they’re never honest with you, it’s a big sign you should leave them. They might be unfaithful behind your back, or they might just be seeing friends. The fact that they can’t tell you this is the problem – both of you must be honest or the relationship will never work.
You put all the effort into the relationship
Do you sometimes feel like you’re the only one putting any effort into the relationship? For example, you drive three hours to see them every week, but they’re never willing to do the same to see you. Unless there’s a valid reason for the lack of effort – like a very busy job – you should leave. It’s not worth your time and you deserve to be with someone that will put in as much effort as you give.
The last sign is something that you can potentially work on in the relationships. As for the others, you really should call things off if you notice the signs. It will definitely be a difficult decision, but it has to be made for your own benefit.
