There are various reasons that people end relationships but how does one know that ending the relationship is the best thing to happen? Does the good outweigh the bad? This is a very serious and critical question to ask before breaking up.
There are times that small things seem huge, and like the end of the relationship is inevitable.
This passes with time, maybe a day or even a few hours.
There are also times when hurtful or troublesome things continuously happen.
The pain does not let up.
Do both parties feel the same way about the relationship? When one person views the relationship as something different than what the other person believes it to be, there is a conflict.
For example, when he thinks the relationship is casual and they are free to date other people while she thinks that the relationship is serious and headed for the alter, there is heartbreak on the horizon.
When unsure, it is important to ask.
Is there any attraction left? Some may think that this is shallow but it is a very basic law of nature.
When one is not attracted to another, the relationship fizzles.
More often than not, when there is no attraction between the couple, there is a greater chance of an affair to occur.
Is there trust in the relationship? The old saying, "without trust, there is nothing," holds true.
Living in doubt is nerve-wrecking, tiring, and unhealthy.
It is also unfair and relationships in this day and age should be fair.
Anything less would be inadequate.
While a person sits worrying and being frustrated that the person they are in a relationship with is being deceitful, the self-esteem of the person who is being lied to diminishes.
Ending a relationship is not something that people look forward to doing.
Before ending a relationship, it is important to step back and look at the big picture before making a snap decision that could cause grief for a long time.
