Making The Decision To Break Up With Someone Is Never Easy

When you know that you have to break up with someone, even if you know it is for the better, you go through a sort of grief process and chances are both of you are ignoring the reality of what needs to happen. Are you still wondering if now is the right time? If so, below you will find 5 signs that apply to all relationships that are dead in the water and need to be ended sooner rather than later.

If you do not spend time together, why are you staying together? Relationships that are over are rarely tended to and this cannot be seen more clearly than when people cease to spend time together. If you are both avoiding being together, why not just make your break up official?

You do not talk about being together anymore. Couples who are invested and want to be in their relationship spend a good deal of time talking about what they will do in the future. This can be small things such as where you will go, what you will do, etc but this is important future planning that is absent in relationships that should cease to be.

Fighting is the rule rather than the exception. Because you are both not sure how to end the relationship you are both probably picking fights, trying to get the other people to do the dirty work. Fighting is not healthy for a relationship or for the individual, so if you are fighting non-stop just call it quits.

You are interested in other people. If you are so disconnected that you have a true interest in being with other people, you should just break it off. If you cut off the relationship now you will be able to wipe the slate clean and date other people and find something and someone that will make you happy!

You do not touch one another anymore. People who are truly disconnected do not touch each other anymore and have body language that is not at all warm or welcoming. When you do not touch, even to hug and kiss hello and goodbye, this is generally just a sign that the relationship is truly dead and it would be advisable to end it now.

These are some pretty obvious signs that it is time to end the relationship. You are the only person who can decide if now is the right time to end it, but generally when these symptoms exist for awhile it is not a good thing. You do not have to stay in a relationship that you are not happy in, so be honest with yourself and your mate.
