Signs to leave a relationship are not always clear. It is not easy to walk away from someone you love and have been with for a long time.
There is no one-size-fits-all advice on when to leave a relationship. Every person has their own personal situation that they are dealing with, which could make the decision more complicated.
There are many different signs that a relationship is not working, but it can be hard to recognize them. This article provides a list of the most common signs that you may want to leave your relationship.
Before we go into those signs, let me ask us a few questions because I am sure, it will help us to understand where we are coming from and will also understand where we are going at the end of this article. Now my questions go this way;
– Are you happy with your partner?
Being happy with your partner does not only have to do with when you are collecting a gift from them. being happy is where you feel satisfied with who you are with and do not regret being with them. You need to know what you want in a relationship and who you want it with but never force it if it doesn’t happen. RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD BUT WHY?
– Do you feel like you can’t really be yourself around them?
Do you feel irritated whenever you are with them maybe because of the way they talk making you feel inferior or something or you just can’t stand them because of one thing or the other?
– Do they make you feel guilty for doing things without them?
Being in a relationship does not mean that you don’t have your life anymore. there are some things we just feel like doing on our own without including anyone but in the process of trying to be alone to fix something in your life, they make it look like you are the worst sinner that everyone is blaming.
Sometimes even when in a relationship and not in a relationship, we just feel like being on our own and not wanting anyone to come and disturbed us. it is a normal thing to never feel guilty about this as long as you don’t do it all the time, you need space to breathe.
– Do they constantly put down your hobbies and interests?
Being in a relationship with someone does not mean that you are not allowed to have a dream or to follow your dreams anymore. Be in a relationship with someone who respects and encourages you in whatever you have an interest in doing instead of making you feel less than yourself that you can’t do it.
– Have they cheated on you or been dishonest in any way?
You and your partner have to be satisfied with each other instead of looking for someone else outside your relationship. any relationship that is being full of dishonesty does not yield good fruit. if you are in a relationship and your partner is cheating on you now, what makes you think that he or she will change when you both finally get married? Think about it. You can check here for the signs that your partner is cheating on you
– Do they make all the decisions for both of you and refuse to compromise with your opinions or wishes?
A relationship has to do with two people and not one some with that, decision making suppose to be from the result of two people contribution. Any relationship that is one-sided does not have a happy ending excepted tolerance. you are supposed to be enjoying your partner and not tolerating. a relationship is about teamwork so if your partner is against teamwork and then decided to be taking decisions on his own at all times, well, you know what next to do.
However, below here are some signs that can help you decide whether it is time to move on or not so if you are feeling confused about what to do next in your relationship, here are some things to consider:
1) You feel like you don’t have any privacy anymore
2) You feel like you’re walking on eggshells around your partner
3) Your partner makes you feel bad about yourself
4) Your partner has done something illegal or dishonest
5) Your partner has been abusive physically, emotionally, mentally
What are the red flags in a relationship?
Relationships are an integral part of life. They help us grow, learn and become better people. Relationships also give us the opportunity to be vulnerable with someone else, which is a rare and special thing.
So it’s important to recognize the red flags in a relationship when they happen so we can take steps to fix them.
What are the red flags in a relationship?
1) The person is always angry or frustrated with you
2) The person starts arguments or fights with you
3) You don’t feel like they’re listening or understanding you
4) You don’t feel like they care about your feelings
5) They have lied to you about something important
Should I fight for my relationship?
I don’t know if it’s worth fighting for. I’m not sure that I want to go through all of the pain and hurt again.
This is a question that many people ask themselves when they are in a relationship and are considering whether or not to stay with their partner. The answer to this question will vary depending on the individual person, their circumstances, and how they feel about their partner.
The decision to stay or leave is a very personal one and should be made only after much thought and consideration.
It may be tempting to walk away from a relationship that has become difficult, but there are many reasons why you should fight for your relationship. How to save a relationship
It is important to recognize that fighting for your relationship does not mean that you are perfect or that you do not have any faults. It means that you want the best for both of you, and if there are things in your relationship that need to change, then it is worth it to try and make those changes.
“Please Help Me” were the outcry of a Nigerian Man Who also happens to be a Degree Holder as he Stands on Street to Look for Job, His Photo Goes Viral
The Nigerian man who claimed he is a graduate of political science is still on the lookout for a job, and he decided to take to the streets to sell himself.
Originally known by the name Cyprian Orvande Kerker, the man posted a photo showing when he held out a white cardboard sheet with his number and
qualifications.
In his tweet which has now gone viral, the man could be clearly seen appealing to people to help him get a job noting that he is a graduate of political science.
According to him, “Immediately after my graduation, I got a job with MTN as an adhoc staff. My role was to updating and upgrading of sim cards. It was a contract job which lasted for 45 days.”
“Immediately after my NYSC in February 2022, I relocated to Ibadan and worked as a sales representative. I later moved to Lagos where I’m currently based. I’m from Benue state I was born 22 october 1996. I’m self motivated, hardworking and flexible” he stated.
Below are the Reactions from Twitter users
@Smart2471 said:
“Jah bless brother! We are in to it together and I am also a graduate too.”
@Hallabernard14 reacted:
“God will grant all your heart desires bro. Stay strong and don’t give up.”
The truth is that everyone wants to have a long term relationship that will last for them but it is just a few that research on how and what they need to do in other for their relationship to last.
A long term relationship does not just last because it’s called a long term relationship, it last only when you and your partner want it to last.
If you want to know a secret, the secret is that when you say to your partner that you need a long term relationship with her or him, that is when obstacles will really come into the relationship.
These obstacles may be from the area of unfriendly friends who are jealous of your relationship with that guy or lady or that your aunt who just want to ensure that you are married to the guy or girl whom the family already arranged for you since before your birth or when you were both kids due to family bond or business expansion etc.
So when you are in a long term relationship, you just don’t go back and lie down and sleep and still expect that everything will still work as when you guys both started newly.
A new relationship is always very sweet and breathtaking but your relationship cannot remain that way forever that is why you really have to work on making things right and your partner doing so on the other hand.
To have a long term relationship that lasts;
1 You have to be self-discipline: Yeah, Self-discipline first, you cannot offer what you don’t carry, just like going to apply to work in a bakery shop yet you don’t have any idea about baking or customer representative guidelines, you now apply for the job. That’s a job without experience, in that kind of job what do they do?
They will, first of all, ensure that you study the basics, and then later you will start studying the advanced steps gradually as you go.
So it goes with a relationship. You cannot make your long term relationship last even for 3 years if you don’t discipline yourself.
2 Communication: Having a daily conversation with your partner will help you to know when he or she is okay and when she is okay.
You can only get to know your partner through communication. To express how you feel to your partner or to reciprocal on your partner’s love expression is also through communication.
So, ensure that communication is never lacking in your relationship from morning tonight.
3 Unresolved Issues: Leaving issues unresolved till the next day is a very bad idea. No grudges should be left till the next day that’s if only you value and respect that relationship and you want it to result in a long term relationship.
Note: There is no perfect relationship, and since there is no perfect relationship, it means that there is no long term relationship that does not encounter disagreement and misunderstanding.
But what matters most is how you handle yours determines the future of that relationship if it will still be a long term relationship or if it will change to a short-term relationship. The decision is yours.
4 Forgiveness: The only way an unresolved issue can be settled is when you start having a forgiving heart.
Knowing that you are not perfect and likewise your partner, will help you to understand that whatever happened be it your fault or your partner’s fault is because he or she is not perfect.
Only a forgiven heart will help you not be a judge or turn your relationship into a court.
5 Reschedule your daily activities: well I guess this one is self-explanatory, No matter what you do or where you work, always try to find at least five minutes of your time for your partner.
It may not be during office working hours but you can always find 5-10minutes to talk on the phone on your way to launch from the office.
Anyhow, you want to do it, do it. Just ensure that your schedule for the day can at least allow you to text him or her at least “I miss you”
6 Spend time together: Anytime I give this suggestion as one of the ways to help your relationship, some people do ask me this question “what about those in a long distance relationship that for many years, you do not see your spouse”.
Then I always say, there are no distances in the realm of relationships. When you love someone, you find means of spending time with the person using any format.
The truth is that you don’t have to be with your partner first to first before you can spend time with him or her.
If you want your long term relationship to still stay strong and safe, you need to do a lot, and some of those things you can do if physical distance is the problem are;
i. Video calls, there are Facebook messenger calls, WhatsApp Calls, Skype, direct phone, etc. Those are some social media you can use to always communicate and also be seeing your partner.
If truth be told, Video calls help to bring back around 70,80% of your love, romance with your spouse.
It brings back those good memories about you and your spouse to you even if you wanted to avoid it.
ii. Frequent chatting: Although video calls are more effective but still frequent chatting still helps especially for those who enjoy chatting to calls.
If he or she is not online, invite to come over, make an appointment with your partner by setting a particular time for when you two will like to have time together.
Is just like inviting her out for a date, but since you two are not together right there, you can use the chat or video calls as a means of having a good time together.
7 Do crazy things together: Nothing makes a home fun and loving like seeing two grown-up partners playing together like kids.
Being a straightforward guy or lady will not help your relationship, because no lady likes a boring guy.
Every lady wants to be with a man who knows what it takes to make her happy.
How will you feel seeing a smile on the first of your partner almost every day knowing that you are the source of that happiness that is reflecting on his face?
I guess you will feel great and happy yourself. So if you are a fun absent person, try fixing that before changing your date into a long-term relationship.
Although it hurts seeing someone that you love so much walking away from you all in the name of breaking up. But it is better to have a broken relationship than to have a broken marriage.
Yes the relationship was heading somewhere and you could feel it, but along the line, it didn’t work again, then what next?
You don’t have to break down because for that long term relationship to break up, they must be a reason, and which is, “It is either one of the ones listed above or that the relationship was not meant to be.
