If your partner doesn't seem to care when you're miserable, it's time to leave. Ditto if you feel that you're the only one putting effort into the relationship.

Takes less than a minute. Keeps 7 Cups free for someone else.

Actually it's hard to lay down a set points to tell when it's over..it something that only you or your partner can feel. It's when you realize the things or qualities about your relationship and your partner, that once made you happy are not doing so anymore. When our flaws or differences become more prominent. When you realize you are more in love with the memories rather than the person itself. When the pile of unsaid words just keeps growing up,. When you prefer to stay silent than to talk..even if it;s just about your day, when silence becomes awkward...basically..when you start asking yourself if it's over..IT IS

When you both have lost its spark and when you both realizes that you have been disagreeing a lot and couldn't find any solutions but to just pretend that everything is fine because it is easier that way.

There can be several different signs when you should know it is time to break up with someone. For instance, if your boyfriend or girlfriend is being violent and abusive, it is best to leave before things get worse. Also if you aren't happy than you should really ask yourself why your still in this relationship, your happiness comes first.

if you don't feel special to that person any more, or if you think you would both be happier separated, if you don't feel that excitement like you did at the start or you don't feel like you have any feelings towards them.

When you feel like you've grown apart and want different things as well as when you don't feel the love or the connection you two have had before

It is a hard thing to know when to break up with someone, sometimes there are clear cut lines- such as when they are harming themselves, harming others, or harming you. And even then it does not make it easy to break up with someone. If they are making you feel bad about yourself, or pressuring you to do something that you do not want to do or know is wrong- it is probably time to have a serious talk, and if you cannot come to a compromise, or they keep doing it when you ask them not to- then it is time to break up with them. And sometimes the lines are blurry- you still love the person, but they are not fulfilling your needs (love, support, time, attention) or you feel you cannot give them what they need. This does not mean that you or them are bad people, it just means that you have grown apart as people/lovers/friends/what have you. I have been in the same situation, where I loved my partner but we could no longer give each other what we needed. I hope this helps.

i would say its time to break up with someone when you are no longer happy with the relationship. This could be the result of numerous things, however if you feel like you're being treated poorly or you don't have any spark... (which would make you unhappy) i feel this is when you should terminate the relationship.

If you feel like you don't see the future with the current partner, you don't see yourselves together as a family, you don't feel the passion, the unquestioned love for him/her, maybe it's time to let that relationship go. Don't be together just because you get used to it.

Ending a relationship is never easy, even when you know it's the right thing to do. First, though, you have to be sure that it's the right choice by seeing if the tell-tale signs apply to you. So what are some of the signs-
1)Consider if there's something you have been reluctant to accept about your partner.
2)Think about your own issues. You may discover that you want to break up because you don't want to face certain issues in yourself, like insecurity or fear of abandonment, but they are sure to turn up in any relationship you're in.
3)See if you're only in the relationship because you don't want to hurt your partner's feelings.
4)See if you're just in the relationship because you're afraid of being alone.
5)Be willing to accept that maybe you're just not that into your partner anymore. Or, maybe they're just not all that into you.

You know it's time when there is no longer any passion between you and your hearts no longer beat on the same frequency. Being with them is a tiring task and their cute habits no longer amuse you.

we know its time to break up when the relationship has taken up everything that you are made of....has changed you mentally.....when one is over powering the other and making out a totally new person.... we may never know in certain cases till it is pointed out by a third party....being who you are when you are with your person is the best thing ever ...loosing that will automatically lead to problems...... peace of mind is the only thing that can help a person deal life in any situation.... in life there can never actually be a break up... things will always remain a part of your life ...your priorities change .....thats life

When you start thinking things like this. If you aren't happy in a relationship, it's better to just end it than let it drag you down. Try making things exciting again if you want to, but if that fails, it's better to just break up.

Remember that a healthy relationship has benefits to both partners! If you feel like the costs outweigh the benefits for you, you should consider whether this relationship is having a good impact on your mental/physical health. It's normal to have problems, disagreements, and to go through rough patches. But do you see a potential, realistic bright future? Do you have some common goals? Is your partner receptive to this future and goals? Ask yourself whether you and your partner can communicate efficiently; if this is not case, ask yourself whether it's possible to change that. If not, perhaps the relationship isn't very very viable. If your partner has a tendency to disregard your feelings and your thoughts, maybe the relationship isn't very viable. If you feel like there is a persistent tension between you that resists all attempts to fix it, then perhaps the relationship is doing more wrong than good. And finally, do you see yourself being in the present situation for one more year? Two, five, ten years? This can help you decide whether staying in a relationship is worth it or not.

When all you ever think is about the painful things. When every time you look at him, all you feel is pain. When everything isn't the way it used to be for you anymore.

This is a very relative question which has not eact answer. The best thing to do is to analyze whatever happened that made you think like this in the first place and discuss what you're going through with your partner or with someone close to you.
