How to know when it's to move on in a relationship

Most of my readers have been in relationships that give us little or no satisfaction. However, we ignore the handwriting on the wall and stay on long after the relationship should have been called off. This causes a lot of pain to both parties involved. An unknown author once said, “There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.”
Below are some signs that it is time to move on in a relationship.

When your partner causes you physical and/or emotional pain.
When one’s partner causes you physical or emotional pain, this is a sure sign that it is time to move on, no matter how much s/he tries to make up for it later on. Verbal, physical and emotional abuse is an indicator that the abuser needs to take care of his/her mental health.

When you keep on replaying happy memories of the relationship.
When you live in the past more than in the present in your relationship, this is a danger signal. It shows that subconsciously, you are not happy about the state of affairs in the relationship. One should revel in the current state of affairs in the relationship, not live in a self-created reality of how things are in the union.

When your core values differ.
In every successful union, both partners have similar core values and outlook on life. But when the two partners cannot agree on even the simplest of matters, this is a sure sign that there will be no harmony in the relationship. It is time for both parties to go their separate ways.

When you expect the other person to change.
In a relationship, you should be accepting of the other person. But when there is a flaw you cannot accept in your partner, and wish him/her to change, this is a sign that all is not well in the union.
There is no need to remain stuck in a pseudo-relationship that is clearly leading nowhere. With these signs listed above, you can know whether your relationship has hit the rocks, take the bull by the horns and move on!
