You’re Not Happy
One of the most important signs it’s time to let go of a relationship is if you’re not happy. In the end, your happiness should come first, unless there are children involved. If you’re not happy and can get out of the relationship without any strings attached, it’s best for you to do so!
You Don’t Want to Be around Your Significant Other
If it becomes more and more obvious that you’d rather spend time with your friends than with your significant other, it’s time to let go. Of course, space is good and necessary, but if it gets to the point where you truly do not want to be around that person, a break-up is imminent.
You Don’t Care about Your Future Together
Whether it’s just one of you who doesn’t care about your future together, or both, ignoring the future is a sure sign that you’ll be ending soon. Maybe you simply have different goals for your futures, and if they don’t line up it may be time to let go. It may seem like a petty reason to end things, but if you don’t see a future with someone, why are you wasting the present with them as well?
He’s Not Who You Thought He Was
People change. If your relationship changes into something you don’t want, it’s okay to let go. Maybe it was something as simple as realizing he’s not the person you thought he was when you met. No matter the circumstances, if there’s something about your relationship that’s changed, and not for the better, it’s time to let go.
There’s No Trust Anymore
If you can’t trust your significant other at all anymore, it is definitely time to let go of your relationship. What is the point of a relationship without trust? Either work on bringing that trust back into your relationship or let go of the relationship altogether. In the end, it comes down to how much work you’re willing to put in. If you want to gain that trust back, work for it. If not, end things.
