Choosing to end a relationship can be a very difficult decision to make, but what's important to keep in mind is that if you're in a position where you feel like breaking up with someone is better than staying with them, then that means that there are good reasons for feeling that way. It's also important to know that romantic relationships aren't the only valuable relationships in our lives - friendships and familial relations (if one is able to have those) can be as equally rewarding and significant. We are all capable of both giving and receiving love, and once you realize and acknowledge this, everything else becomes much easier.

It is understandable that you are feeling secure and stable in your relationship. Often times the fear of the unknown holds us back from having our best dreams-come true. First I would ask, have you done everything possible to try and make this current relationship work? Did you do your best to share your fears, concerns, goals and interests? If you were open and also tried different approaches to getting your needs met, then it makes sense to break up. Before doing so, have you made a list of what you DO like about your current partner? Do you have another list for what is NOT working? What you do NOT like about the partner and the relationship? And then a final list of traits/experiences/needs for your next partner? By making these three lists and putting them in a safe place, when you go through the grieving process you will remember what did not work, and the reasons you are seeking a new partner, a better match for you, and the lists will keep you from going back to what did not work, while helping you to find the partner that will work. It is scary leaving someone who loves us, but when we have done the work and are still unhappy, we can rest assured that the universe must have someone more compatible lined up for us and by closing one door, we tell the universe we are ready for the other door to open.

Breakups can feel so agonizing as you contemplate all the "what-if's". Our fears rear their head at times making it really hard to take a bold step and do what is the right thing to do. It is really normal to fear not finding someone else, but don't let your fear hold you, hostage, to something you don't truly want. It is not fair to you or the other person. The first person you need to honor in your life is yourself. The right person wil feel right, and if this is not right then the right person is still on their way to you.

The decision is completely yours. Before taking a big step we should look for all the options and the outcomes so that it doesn't affect us after we have taken the step. We should be confident and convinced by our decision. Losing someone dear over the petty fight isn't good and staying with someone at the cost of our self-respect isn't good either. We should love our self the most. Only then others will love you. I can assure you, you will find someone who will love you and will fear losing you. Always remember to love someone who loves you. Hope this helps you Stay strong

Often times, people not wanting to break up/leave over this fear is exactly what your partner might want, and if so, that person will definitely latch onto that fear & take full advantage of you. There’s over 6.5 billion people in the world. If you want to break up, there’s a mathematical certainty someone else has or is doing/thinking the same thing right at this moment, or has thought the same but has actually left & found someone else. It happens all the time. You have to have full faith in yourself and in others that someone else is and are going to be better for you relationship wise and just overall

I understand what you're going through. Whats the reason for your wanting to break up? i understand, sometimes the situations get hard and complicated. You're not alone. You're a nice person and you do deserve the best for yourself. You definitely deserve to be loved, you've been loved and its a proof that you deserve to be loved. Why do you think that you don't deserve it? Relax yourself and think, you can also consider meditation and giving yourself some time to process and think about it. I'm sure the decision you'll make will be best for you and help you in the long run. Tell me more about it, I'm all ears

Yeah I know the feeling but the most important thing to realize is that even if you break up you still need to find a way how to keep loving yourself and taking care of yourself and once you do that the fear of being alone will disappear and you will be able to meet new people. It's entirely your choice but if you feel like you're no longer happy in your relationship and you want to end it then you should cause there's no good in keeping an nonworking relationship going. It will only bring you the feeling of misery and loneliness.

If you truly feel it is best to leave, then do so. Someone will love you again, and others do love you now. One day you will find that special someone. Someone who will light up your world, who will make you genuinely happy. It may take some time, but it will happen. So dont stress it now, find what you want in a relationship, work on yourself, do whats best for you. Make yourself happy first. Find new things you love. Learn more about yourself, and most of all, learn to accept and love yourself. Everything will be okay. I promise.

This a very common feeling/thought that most of us experience when thinking of breaking up with someone, or after actually making the choice. There are few people that are not scared of this. Our feelings often take over our common sense and it feels as if this is the truth. Maybe you can ask yourself why or how this actually could be the truth - that no one will ever love you again. Maybe you can go through each reason and go deeper into whether or not you think this is a legitimate, true statement. What do you think a person that knows you well would think about this statement/reason. How do you think they would react? Do you think they would agree and find it to be a true statement about yourself?
