1. An abusive relationship. If you are in an abusive relationship, get out now! It doesn’t matter if you ‘think’ you are still in love with him (or her) or ‘know’ you are in love with her. Get out now, and after, file a police report for a restraining order.
2. No trust. Trust is the most important part in any relationship, so if you don’t have it, it’s time to break up.
3. Found someone else. Although not always on purpose, sometimes we find another person — perhaps a friend or colleague who we are interested in. If this is you, talk about it. Usually, interest in someone else means you aren’t getting everything you want out of your current relationship. If talking about it doesn’t help, it’s time to break up and start something new.
4. Loss of interest. Many couples lose interest in their partner, not only sexually, but also as a friend. If you cannot talk to your significant other, it is definitely time to break up.
5. No future together. Relationships without a future is a train-wreck waiting to happen. If you want to be friends with benefits, fine. Be friends with benefits. However, if you want a real relationship but don’t have a future together, get out now.
Of course there are more reasons than just these to break up, but if one of these are a problem — talk about it if it’s not serious, but if it is, get out now. Too many teens, and even adults, stay in relationships for the wrong reason. Sometimes it’s just not to be and we need to realize what is best for us, and sometimes that is being alone… at least for now.
