Ending a friendship, business, or romantic relationship is never easy as it is difficult to determine when to let go. There are emotions, doubts, and uncertainties that make the decision a very complicated one. But the wisest thing to do is end the relationship, rather than letting something toxic draw you in. Now let us discuss some common indications that help one understand that it is time to move to the next level.

The Constant Rollercoaster

Do you ever get the impression that your relationship is a roller coaster ride? Of course, a relationship is not always smooth and can have its highs and lows but if you are constantly miserable, then it is worth examining.

This is a mere list of symptoms. If you feel anxious, sad, or frustrated most of the time, it could be a sign of a problem. In a relationship, there should be stability, not just a chance to be strong emotionally.

Let's compare the relationship to a roller coaster ride because it has ups and downs. Yes, you love the ride and it gives you the ultimate thrilling experience but also makes you feel dizzy and confused. Perhaps it is high time you got off the ride. In this case, the positive aspects of the relationship are joy and stability. The negative aspects are distress and confusion. If it is the latter, the best thing might be to end the relationship.

Unresolved Issues And Lack Of Effort

As with any other relationship, there will always be conflicts and issues. The question here is how they are dealt with. If you realize that issues are consistently minimized, never addressed, or addressed in the worst way possible, this may be a sign that it is time to end the relationship.

Love can only work if both individuals are keen and willing to work through problems and difficulties in the relationship. Are both of you trying to solve the conflicts and change the relationship? Or do discourses of issues lead to an argument that is not solved for a long time?

If the latter is true, it may be time to end the relationship since it is not worth the stress. If the two parties are unable or unwilling to deal with the problems in such a situation, the relationship can be a source of constant irritation and dissatisfaction.

Loss Of Respect And Trust

The foundation of any relationship may be built on respect and trust. And if these elements are wearing away, it’s a problem. Lack of respect and trust in relationships results in betrayal and resentment. This often leads to negative interaction and the resultant formation of a toxic relationship with little or no positive social contact. Assess the amount of respect and trust in the given relationship.

If you are always wondering whether your partner has malign intentions or if they are disrespecting you, then you might be in an abusive relationship. We often intellectually question the things that they say or do. These are signs that suggest that you need to end the relationship. Love which is characterized by compromise of respect and trust is psychologically unhealthy as well as disappointing.

Final Thoughts

Breaking up is one of the most difficult decisions in a person’s life and should not be taken lightly. The outlined signs, emotional instability, issues that have not been resolved, and loss of respect and trust are crucial in the assessment. It can be argued that even the best relationships have ups and downs. However, the constant presence of these negative patterns may indicate it is high time for a breakup. Take the necessary self-inventory and check whether this relationship is beneficial for you or not.

If you find it is more detrimental than beneficial then it might be time to end the relationship. Don’t confuse this notion of ‘release’ with ‘failure’. On the contrary, the best decision is to cut your losses and walk away. It is not easy to end the relationship but it is a process that leads to happiness and success. Follow your intuition because if it is right, then it will feel right. On some occasions, it is better to end the relationship and move on to something better for the benefit of both individuals.
