Ending a relationship is one of the hardest decisions to come
to in life. This is because there are a lots of things to worry
about, fears that exist in the relationship and problems to
conquer but none of this beats that which comes with
breaking up the relationship. This is because your mind is
filled with doubts on whether or not you are making the right
decision. You’re thinking if the relationship is the right one
that you need to fight for and if you’d regret throwing it
away. You don’t know if you’re over exaggerating the
problems you have and if you let this one go, you don’t know
if you’d ever find love again.
These questions are those everyone that is on the verge of
breaking up a relationship asks. Some even go on to ask if
they’d ever be with a member of the opposite $ex again, if
they are jinxed to be alone or if they are too choosy in their
choice of a partner.
While we can’t tell you if that relationship you’re in will last a
lifetime, we can categorically tell you that love alone is not
enough to sustain a relationship. Certain things would
happen that will make you realize you have to let go. And
here are some of those things and times.
When you have different life plans
The chances of a relationship going the long haul when the
two people involved have different life plans are near zero.
Take for instance you are the type that wants to settle down
and have a dozen kids and your partner is the type that
wants to travel round the world and doesn’t want children,
it’s probably best you reconsider the relationship. Life plans
are a very important part of your relationship and it is
important to be with someone that have and want relatively
the same things as you do.
When you have different ambitions
Chances are if you are an ambitious person that is self
motivated and you have a partner that is mostly satisfied
with his position and has very little motivation to move
forward either at their jobs or life in general, a lot of
problems might arise later on in your relationship.
When the attraction isn’t there
This is a problem given the fact that irrespective of how
much you love someone, if you are not physically or $exually
attracted to them, the relationship is bound to hit the rocks.
Despite what people say, $ex is actually a core ingredient of
a healthy relationship. If you love your partner but you have
no $exual desire for them, loving them is definitely not
enough. You will be doing both yourself and your partner a
great disservice if you stay in a relationship with very little
$exual commitment and unsatisfactory physical attraction.
When there’s too much baggage
Of course, everyone has a form of baggage or the other
which comes from our past that is mostly not pretty.
However, some baggage might just not be tolerable enough
for you as they are too much to bear and handle. Some
baggage are ingrained so deep that it is difficult for you to
fix and it inadvertently puts a strain on your relationship. It is
mostly difficult to accept and move on with people that
mostly dwell on their baggage.
When they have hurt you too many times
In your mind, you know when you’ve had enough of the
emotional and sometimes physical hurt that you constantly
get. There’s no way a relationship can survive a relationship
bedevilled with too much hurt irrespective of how much love
existent therein. It does you no good to play the role of a
martyr, get out of the relationship because you deserve way
better than that.
When you’ve outgrown them
A lot of people can relate to a situation where they mature
faster than their partner in the relationship. This is mostly
awkward especially if it is the woman that it happens to.
Unfortunately, this is a relationship breaker if you always find
your partner throwing tantrums. It is evident that what you
feel isn’t enough if they can’t grow with you.
When you need more from him
If you find yourself in a scenario where you’ve been dating
for a while and they are still shy of commitment and you
realise that you need more from them than they are willing to
give, it is perhaps the right time to break up and move on
with your life. They might change after they realise that they
have lost you or that might be the end of the relationship,
either ways, you’re better off away from them while they
make up their minds.
Well, the truth is love is a beautiful thing and as such it is
essential to always give your all in a relationship so as not to
look back in the future and have regrets. This does not
however mean you should tag along in a relationship that is
not working. Most times love is a strong enough foundation
for any relationship but at some other times just like the 7
Things above, it isn’t enough and you should just get out of
the relationship.
