How do I know I should break up with my boyfriend or girlfriend?

If you are unhappy and you are aware that you are in an unhealthy relationship. If you, or the other person are continually in pain, or causing the other person pain.

It's very hard to do these things or to see clearly when blinded by the guards of love/care, but if you don't want to be with your significant other, then you shouldn't be. I'm not saying that any little hitch or problem is grounds for breaking up. No, on the contrary. You should always try to work through things that can be fixed. Always talk things out and let your partner know how you feel, especially if they've done something that's upset you and don't seem to care. It's probably because they don't know it affected you that way. If you get to a point where it's constant problems or if you just don't feel the same, then you should end it.

Anytime you feel the relationship doesn't serve your or make you happy either you don't feel connect to him/her anymore or you no longer have any feelings to your partner, especially if the relationship makes you feel worse and miserable. But whatever it is if you still loves your partner you can communicate with them before taking this big decision. Remember the broken glass can't be fix perfectly. Once you breakup with someone it will never ever come back to what it used to be. But, if you don't love them anymore, theres nothing else can help. Be honest to your partner and end the relationship.

When they no longer make you happy and give you what you need. If you're asking this question, it's probably time to let it go. It's important to remember that love isn't enough when it comes to relationships. You can love someone so much, but if you don't trust them or they hurt you or you can't spend enough time together: you need to walk away.

Trust your gut. What does it tells you? Once you started thinking about breaking up, it must be for a reason. Another good question to ask yourself is: how safe am I?

You will never really know. You can try to base it off events, but you should really follow your heart.

Because he isn't in love with me. I keep chasing people when I should be in a relationship of mutual desire.

Break up is not at all easy. A person has gone through many emotional turmoils. Such thing would only come to mind when proper give and take is not happening in life! SO break up could be like simply going away from some person who gave you certain stress or going away from some person who used to give you happiness. When context changes life changes too! So it's your viewpoint!

That's a tough question, it depends on the situation and whats happening in the relationship.. If you and that person are not getting along then talk about your problems or take a break. The main decision is if you have feelings for them or not.

You are full of passion.. and that's a wonderful form of energy, I would suggest you try to put this energy into some other use.. maybe help someone in real life, make yourself available for help on 7 cups, make yourself busy with learning something new(an instrument, a language, or some life skill like swimming), My idea is you can do whatever you want to with this energy, dont waste it by crying over a person who left you and to whom you mean nothing.. he does not deserve your tears!!
