When To Break Up

edlaine 25 June 2007 Relationships 15 views No Comment  Print This Post

No relationship is perfect — that is given. We can’t prevent obstacles from happening; it’s normal in relationships. But what if it gets too far? Are you going to choose between martyrdom and freedom? Here are some signs of an unhealthy relationship.

Physically hurting you. Nobody deserves to be hit for any reason. If your boyfriend inflicts any physical pain upon you, break up with him. Abusive relationships never work.

Trashing your self-esteem. This ranges from saying that you’re good for nothing and that no one would want to go out with you, to not giving you compliments or calling you names. Trashing your self-esteem is just as bad as physical pain and can sometimes be more damaging.

Cheating on you. In relationships, cheating is a big no-no. If your guy is a player or has cheated on you before, then it is likely to happen again.

Forgetting special dates. If he forgets your anniversary, shame on him. And shame on you for putting up with it.

Emotionally blackmailing you. Do you find the line, “If you love me, then you’ll do it,” familiar? If he has the nerve to make threats or blackmails you with suicide, distance yourself from him.

Getting overly jealous. Seeing your guy get jealous can sometimes be cute and flattering but it can affect your relationship enormously. It should not get to him being overly possessive to the point of forbidding you to go out with your friends or constantly asking where you are.

If most of these signs show up in your relationship, it is best to break up or distance yourself from your partner. If symptoms like these are tolerated, it will worsen and eventually spin out of control.

Most women tend to disregard these signs and have regretted doing so. Just because you “love” the guy, it doesn’t mean you have to submit yourself to him. Think of yourself first.
