If you relationship has lost it's spark you may be thinking to yourself "is it time to move on?". Just how do you know when it is time to make the call that you and your partner have no future together? If you have spent a long time with this person making the decision to end the relationship, can be a tough job…to say the least
You may even find that you still love your partner but deep down you know that the relationship is going nowhere and it's stupid to pretend that you have a future together. But when you still love a person, how can your to let that relationship end?
There are some couples who think that their relationship with their partner is too difficult to maintain and so they call it off without thinking it through to discover whether it has any kind of long term future or not. The main problem with this is that sometimes these couples really are meant to be together and if they had spent a little time work to improving to their relationship they could have a great future together.
Strangely, There are even many people that endure terrible turbulent relationships and not only do they stay together but they are constantly trying to make it work out. In spite of being told by their friends and family that they are wasting their time and y should break up they continue to struggle in their failing relationship. Even in extreme cases when infidelity is involved, they still some how stay together in the hope that their cheating spouse won't do it again. In cases like these it is usually best to terminate the partnership but they can never seem to want to make that decision and this is often because they feel that they will never get another partner and they have a fear of being alone.
Sometimes it can be quite hard to know when "to call it a day" on a relationship and so you shouldn't make that decision hastily - It's a big decision. However, there are some situations where it should be clear like an abusive relationship, but even in these cases I have seen many couples still refuse to end the affair. Regardless of you're your partner may say, there is no excuse for abuse and if you are in an abusive relationship then you should make that decision "to go" immediately - there is little point pretending to yourself that it will get better because it seldom does.
If you have a cheated partner then making decision to leave can be a tough call. Particularly if it is the first time because there is a good chance it may never happen again and if the pair of you can work through it together. If your partner has been cheating over a long period of time or is a repeated offender then it isn't likely that they will change their ways and you really should think about quitting and moving on.
There is no "black and white" way or "magic formula" to know the time has come end a relationship and it will all depend on each individual situation. Sometimes it can be of great help to take a break for a few days on your own so you can get some space and try to can clear your head so that you can and have a good think about the overall situation. Take a hard long look at the relationship and what has been going on and then decide whether this is the person you feel that you really want to spend the rest of your days with. Only then you can really decide whether the partnership is worth saving or whether you should call it a day and move on.
