Question

By not overlooking how they treat you , if you are in a relationship with someone that doesn’t value you or prioritize you like you do them, then it’s best to really reconsider that relationship with them , you are best to have a serious conversation with them and express your feelings of concern before assuming you know the answer. In most cases you might be the problem without realizing you are. Why communication is very important in a relationship, because without communication and trust , you really don’t have anything with that person . You are just a convenience to them over anything else. So you are best to say what you need to say and express your feelings of concern as soon as possible to them. If your partner actually loves you and cares about you they will do everything they can to make you feel safe and secure in your relationship with each other , if Your partner doesn’t really give 2 shits about your feelings , then you are best to walk the other way and realize you deserve way better than that shit. Never stay in a relationship that you are no longer their top priority , you should always make each other feel like each others top priority if you want your relationship to last and for love to continue growing between you both , it won’t always be perfect , but if you both choose each other no matter what , your relationship has a better chance at surviving. You both should be choosing each other over everyone else , over your friends’ or family or whoever if you want your relationship to last. If not , then your relationship probably won’t last and you will realize they just like the convenience of you , but unfortunately they truly don’t love you , they just love what they can receive from you. while keeping their options open for someone else. Someone that actually loves you is going to stand by your side no matter what , and try to fix whatever is broken between you both to make things better between the both of you. Relationships take 2 people giving the same or equivalent love and respect for each other , not one without the other , So if your relationship feels one sided , it’s best to have a serious talk with your partner and express your feelings of concerns , if nothing changes for the better within a reasonable amount of time , you are best to keep walking the other way and realize you deserve someone that gives to you the same way you give to them. Never stay with someone that is just using you as a convenience. They are writing Sucker on your head without you realizing they are. That’s when you should end that relationship and walk the other way. When my ex started treating me like I was a convenience to her , that’s when I immediately had a serious talk with her and said what I needed to say life is to short to stay with someone that truly doesn’t value you or love you A partner that loves you wants to see you smile as much as possiblle not the other way around.

By watching how they treat you. Do they "listen" to what you have to say, or are the self centered?

DishLady · Accepted Answer

If you feel something has grown stale.
If your gut tells you that your partner has interests elsewhere.
If you can clearly see that core values don’t align.
If you’re any sort of “side piece.”
If you or they see yourselves as “players” available (or want an “open” relationship).
If you’re driving each other nuts.
If one or both of you is violent or verbally toxic.
If the only person you love on the relationship is yourself. (Or your partner…themselves.)

There’s more along these lines but you get the general idea.

As a relationship guru of sorts, I'd say endings can be tricky but necessary. 😉 Trust your instincts if you're feeling more stress than satisfaction, or if red flags like dishonesty or disrespect keep waving in your face. It's about knowing your worth and the value of a healthy connection. Love should uplift you, not bring you down! If you’re more at peace imagining life without them, it might be time to gracefully exit. Best of luck with finding your personal happiness! 🌟

When your just not happy anymore... when you have tried everything to make it work

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

When This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly , that something is wrong. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I'm unhappy with the scenario. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I'm not hopeful about us anymore. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I compromise when I shouldn't. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I don't really want to cuddle her. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I don't react well to her hugs. This inner voice is telling me, repeatedly, that I don't want to make love with her.

Screenwriter · Answer

When you're fed up with carrying too much of the relationship load. If you're being abused emotionally, physically or both. If you're sexually incompatible. If you find you don't have enough interests in common. If the person is too dependent on you. If the person is uncommunicative. If your goals and theirs do not intersect. If the person has an addiction that is destroying them and your relationship and they are not getting treated for the problem. If the relationship is LD only and there is no end to the distance in sight.

Some combination of the former issues.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I would say it's time to end a relationship when you realize that you aren't pulling for your partner anymore.

Like, forget about whether you agree with what they're doing (because you can absolutely love the hell out of someone and vehemently disagree with how they are handling a situation). I'm talking about having the realization that you don't want to stand beside them anymore. You don't care if you see them do well (or maybe you even want them to fail). You don't want their plan to work out. You don't care whether they're okay.

If you get to the point of looking at your person and realizing that you don't care if someone gets one over on them... just get the fuck out. Because that means the respect is gone and all you have is apathy or resentment for them.
