How do you know when it's time to end relationship?

The cold, hard truth is that almost half of all the marriages in the US end up in divorce. The reason for these range from money troubles and infidelity to privacy issues, children from previous relationships and interfering exes.

Watching your marriage disintegrate may be one of the most hurtful experiences in the world, but that is something that you will probably have to go through in your lifetime. However, getting to know when to end a relationship and there is no saving it is not an easy feat. It takes a lot of self-awareness, clear-headedness, and patience to know if you have gone past the point of no return.

If your marriage has been in the shambles for a while now and you are trying to comprehend whether you should try to save it or close this chapter of your life with a divorce, then you are on the right page.

Here are some signs that can help you to know when to end a relationship.

1. You don’t trust each other any more.

Trust is one of the most important parts of any relationship and when you lose that, it’s almost certainly time to end the relationship. The signs your relationship has gone through this is simple — you find yourself questioning the other person’s motives, abilities and reasons all the time. Everything from why she’s acting so nice to you, to how much you trust her to take something that is important to you and respect it.

2. You realize you have different values.

We all have our own values that are important to us — security, freedom, a conservative family, a liberal family, an open marriage. Whatever your values are, that’s fine, but when they begin to rub uncomfortably against your significant other, it might be an early warning sign all is not right in paradise and it might be time to end the relationship.

3. You no longer have any fun.

Relationships are supposed to be fun, and joyous, and if you’ve lost that from the relationship, it might be time to end the relationship if you find yourself unable to retrieve and reawaken the sense of fun you no doubt once shared with your significant other. Days have become dull, every attempt at excitement or some happiness-inducing activity is met with malaise or a general distaste for something that breaks you out of your routine. Nothing kills so much as endless, anodyne routine, and that’s the same with relationships.

4. You can’t see a future with him or her.

The most important point of being in a relationship is the idea of creating a future together, shaping and designing your life you are actively choosing to share with your significant other. If you cannot imagine a future with this person, then it brings about the question about why you are in the relationship to begin with and why you’re choosing to remain in a situation with which you have little emotional investment.

5. You can’t get excited about the idea of marrying this person.

Marriage isn’t for everyone and that’s okay, but a way to assess whether or not it might be time to end the relationship, is to look to a possible future and imagine yourself getting married to your current partner. Not just the idea of marriage, but the whole shindig. The physical act of marriage. Chances are if you’re at the end of your relationship’s path, the idea of marrying this person and consigning yourself to potentially years of marriage with him or her sends a cold shiver down your spine and makes you feel absolutely terrified.

6. You Fight On Every Trivial Thing

Sadly, there comes the point in many relationships where love is gone, and every tiny, little thing that your partner does frustrates you. All the nicest things that you once had to say about your spouse have entirely vanished, and nitpicking over tiny details is how you two, spend your time together. Every relationship has fights and arguments, but you are at the stage where all you do is just fight. Moreover, you do not fight fair. Your attacks have become highly personal, and you do not care if they might really hurt your partner.

7. You Do Not Communicate

Communication is paramount for every healthy relationship, and when you start to communicate less with your spouse, the relationship begins to die down. You start to have less and less meaningful conversations. If you and your partner mostly talk about the mundane things in life, then it is a sign that your relationship is heading towards troubled waters. In a successful marriage, partners share their dreams, aspirations, fears, and problems with their partner without hesitation. Also, when the communication dies in a marriage, there is also little or perhaps no hope for saving it.

So, these are the signs that can help you decide whether there is still hope for your marriage or when to end your relationship with dignity and grace.
