Moving out from the home you share with your boyfriend is a big decision. Not only does it mean the relationship has run its course, but you have to think about where you will live. Big lifestyle changes come, especially if you went from your parents’ home to co-habiting. You’ve maybe never been through the home hunting process, considered living on your own, or thought of having housemates you don’t share a bed with. But, you can’t stay put if you are unhappy or through fear of taking a big step. If you’re seeing these signs, it’s time to move out.

Frequently asked questions
3. You Don’t Appreciate Things so Much
Even when he brings home something that you truly like, you find it hard to show much appreciation because quite frankly, you are just over this whole thing.
4. Little Annoyances Building up
All those little things he does that you used to think were cute quirks have now evolved in to full blown annoyances and you can’t stand them any longer
5. Pet Planning
You spend at least 30 minutes every day trolling through Petfinder to put together the list of eight cats you plan on adopting. Problem is, he hates cats, so why are you still looking?
6. TV Cheating
You promised to watch all of Game of Thrones together, but as soon as he goes out you binge away on your own. No respect for a couple’s promise!
7. You Hate His Cooking Days
Even though he is just trying to do a nice thing for you, you absolutely dread the days that he decides to cook dinner because you know you’re going to hate it.
8. Not Satisfied
If you find yourself waiting for him to go to sleep at night and then rolling over to ‘satisfy yourself’, then maybe it’s time to consider whether the chemistry is no longer there.

It has become a habit to look through all the local apartment listings just in case, and that is definitely not a sign of somebody in a solid relationship.

You realize that you have bought more sex toys in the last three months than the number of date nights you have had with him.
15. No Imagined Future
