You Argue about Everything
Relationships, whether longtime or not, have fights and disagreements and intensity. But they also have calm and relaxed conversations. If you and your partner are arguing about everything, even for the simplest things then this is a sign you should end your relationship. A little friendly competition is fine. When every single word or even a look is provoking a battle, then it’s time for a closure.

You Don’t Want to See Him
It is only logical that sometimes you will want to go out with your friends and leave your boyfriend at home or leave him to go out with his friends. But if you find yourself more and more eager to go out with someone else rather than your boyfriend and these times are increasing fast then there is something wrong with your relationship.

Lust Has Left the Building
Sex is a crucial part of your relationship. Sure after some time, you won’t want to jump his bones every time he walks through the door but if you are not in the mood most of the time and you start to see sex as a chore that you have to do then ending your relationship is the only way.
Staying in a relationship out of obligation or loyalty to all the previous times you shared is not the best thing that can happen. Things like that can lead to cheating, or even looking back at ten years and realizing that you spent your life in a relationship that you were unhappy with. Ending it will be difficult and maybe for a few months after the break up you will miss the relationship and will wonder if you made the right decision. Maybe you will even be tempted to go back. But before you do any of it, take a moment, evaluate your relationship and think. Eventually, you will make the right decision for you.
