If you are unhappy more than you are happy! If you can't be yourself and are always trying to please the other person.

if you're already thinking about it, then maybe it wasn't really meant to be for both of you because someone is not happy, but at least you gave it a shot and now you know maybe it's the right thing to do. If you've got doubts in your head, they're coming from your inner thoughts, and if in your thoughts you thinking about breaking up with your other half, then that means you've considered it for a couple of reasons you know.

The thought of breaking up with your other half is heart breaking it's self and it's tough to know when to do it because honestly, we all get blinded by love. If you notice that you've been thinking about breaking up with your current boyfriend/girlfriend then that's a sign you aren't happy with them. Personally I've went through this struggle. We went out for 3 years, were happy the first year then the next 2 years I found out how he had been messaging girls online, and by text, telling them how beautiful they were and leading them on to think he liked them. 3 months before we were due to go on our first ever summers holiday, he cheated on me with a girl who was 6 years younger than him (16 years old). There were so many red flags and this was the worst one but of course I forgave him (or so I told myself).. He made it feel like it was my fault and that I was just over reacting.. Now if any of this relates to you, you should honestly (please) look out for these red flags. After it all happened, we went on our holiday to Tenerife, which was amazing, then he decided to propose to me, I (of course) said yes but the morning after, I found myself crying over and over agin and this continued to happen for the remaining 6 months. What went through my head was "Am I happy?" "Do I love him?" "Should I put myself through this pressure". I then came to realisation that I was far too young to be engaged. (I was only 19!) Again, if you feel like any of this relates to you or you have felt this way in your relationship, think long and hard how happy you really are. I'm not saying break up with them immediately if they've cheated on you because if you feel you really love them, some people can forgive but unfortunately for me, he showed me so many warning signs that I was just worried that it would happen again. My therapist had helped me get through this and if you feel you need someone as professional and around your area, then please go see one! They are amazing but remember this: They can only help you with your past, not your present.
So if you feel like any of this relates to you and you're still confused, please drop any of our listeners a message and they will be happy to listen! Or as I said, you can seek professional help also. :)

Are you fighting more than you're happy? Can you picture a life without them? These are the questions we should ask ourselves in weighing a decision like this. One of the most helpful tools is physically writing out the pros and cons of staying in this relationship.

You should have such a realization when all you gain out of the relationship are a few "unnecessary" obstructions to the work you do and an addition of negativity to your life!

A person must do what they feel will make them happiest in life. If you feel like the relationship is not making you happy, then it may be time to consider a breakup. On the other hand, consider the situation long term; is there something that you can repair within the relationship to fix it? Just as you wouldn't dump your car if it got scratched, see if you can't fix whatever the problem is first. However, if your car is beyond repair, that's when you may want to lean more towards just getting a new one.

You should break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend when you feel that you are being put in danger. Also if you feel like you no longer feel the same way, but manly when it's a dangerous situation.

Well in my opinion the best way to do this is face to face giving them reason's why you're ending the relationship, maybe suggest if you can still be friends (if you're okay with that) be kind about it, pick the right moment.

Depends. If you feel there is no connection, spark or love there anymore then discuss it with them to see how you feel.

First of all, ask yourself if you can see spending the rest of your life with your partner, if the answer is no, then you should cut ties, if yes, then try to work it out by honest, effective, and peaceful communication. Relationships are based on how well you can relate to each other. The more you can relate to each other, the better the relationship.. If you are unable to relate to each other anymore, then I would suggest moving on.
