Your partner’s being emotionally/ physically abusive

It’s sad, the number of individuals who suffer emotional and/or physical abuse from their significant others. Unfortunately, it is a reality that one day your partner may become emotionally or physically abusive. If this happens, the best advice is to start planning an exit strategy immediately. No one deserves to be abused and it’s unwise to stay in a situation that may never change.

Your partner cheated on you and you can’t re-establish trust with him/her

This may seem obvious, but countless people have been able to continue with their relationship after finding out that their partner was unfaithful. But the key is that these individuals were able to move on by re-establishing trust with their partner. If you know for a fact that you can’t trust your partner after his/her indiscretion, this might be when to end a relationship, than to stay in one where you’re constantly suspicious and wary of your partner’s behavior.

You’ve grown apart

Another reason when to end a relationship is that sometimes no matter how much two people love each other, as time passes instead of growing together, you may see you and your partner growing apart. Sometimes there is only a subtle difference and years can pass before you even realize it and then one day you turn over and realize the person next to you isn’t the person you first met.

Sometimes the relationship can be salvaged, but if you find yourself just going through the motions instead of truly appreciating and loving your partner despite growing in separate directions, then it’s best to just let go.

You’re interested in pursuing a relationship with someone else

If you’re truly interested in someone else, then this may be best when to end a relationship in which you’re currently in. It goes without saying that it is kinder to tell someone that you don’t want to be with them, then to cheat on them because you want someone else. Prior to ending the relationship though, ask yourself if you’re suffering from the “grass is greener on the other side” syndrome.

Sometimes when we’re with our partner for awhile we start to become so accustomed to them, that we forget what is so great about them to begin with. When this happens, we start to idealize other people or relationships. If this is you, first think about what attracted you to your partner in the beginning and focus on growing in your present relationship. If that doesn’t work and you still feel that you would be better off with someone else, then consider leaving.
