ENTITY reports on when is it time to breakup

The hardest part of being in a relationship is leaving. It is coming to the decision that you no longer love them and choosing to stay with them is much more painful than choosing to leave.

You might be more worried about hurting the other person than you are of hurting yourself. But, at the end of the day, you are just hurting both you and your partner by staying. So, how do you know it’s time to leave? Here are some signs that your relationship has run its course.

1 You no longer miss them.

This should be obvious, but sometimes it isn’t. If you love a person, you should be missing them every second you’re not with him or her. If you’re not missing your significant other, especially if you haven’t seen him or her in weeks, then the spark in your relationship is no longer there.

2 You’re emotionally unavailable.

This mostly means you’re no longer willing to stand by this person through thick or thin, and you’ve sort of already moved on in your head. If you’re daydreaming about being in a relationship with someone else, then you need to leave your significant other. Even if you’re fantasizing about people on the street, then it’s time to let go.

“If you always find yourself excited to share the details of your day, or your innermost feelings or problems, with someone who isn’t your partner, it’s time to break up,” relationship counselor David Bennett told the INSIDER. “If your partner isn’t the person deserving of these details and emotional connection, then it’s best for both of you to move on.”

3 Everything they do starts to annoy you.

This can be anywhere from the way they eat to even the way they breathe. If his or her singing in the car is getting on your last nerve, then maybe you just don’t want to be with your partner. This usually means that the love and attraction is fading away, and you’re starting to see your partner for who he or she really is.

“Ask yourself why this is getting on your nerves now,” relationship expert Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D. told BuzzFeed Life. “It’s hard to leave something you’ve put a lot of time and emotion into, so you might be fixating on smaller things instead of the bigger problem.”

4 You don’t make an effort to see the other person anymore.

So, you’re starting to get more annoyed with your significant other so you’re choosing to hang out with your friends or your dog more than your partner. You might be consistently making plans with other people instead of making any attempt to see your partner. If you relate to this, then you really need to leave your partner. If you don’t want to see him or her, then you just have to end it all together.

“You might not feel like you’re actively avoiding spending time with them, but if you keep making plans that just happen to mean you don’t get to hang out with them, it’s probably not a coincidence,” Schwartz said.

5 Your sex life is starting to slowly fizzle out.

If you’re avoiding having sex with your partner, then that love and attraction are definitely gone. You might be constantly coming up with the ways to evade having to even touch your significant other because the idea of it no longer excites you.

“It’s totally normal for things to cool off a little bit when you’re months or years into a relationship – but if you’re actively avoiding sex, that’s something else,” relationship therapist Rachel Sussman told Women’s Health.

Breaking up is not easy to do, but it is the healthier option. While you fear heartbreak and loss, it’s better to be alone and sad than to be stuck in an unhappy relationship.
