Relationships can be complicated for a million different reasons. But one thing we're pretty sure of is that your relationship should last only if you really want it to, and you really like the person you're dating. It sounds clear and simple. But for some reason, a lot of people start relationships for other reasons. And those bad relationships last for years. Here are 10 signs to help you know it's time to break up.
You just wish you had a boyfriend
I don't care which one it is, as long as it's there. This is probably the biggest reason why people get into unpromising relationships. When you are convinced that you need to date, you easily fall for an unnecessary and empty relationship. Out of desperation you are willing to date whoever comes along. A candidate like that is not likely to make you happy. You know, an affair isn't the only thing worth living for. And if you're in a relationship just to be in it, get out of it right away. And enjoy yourself and your life.
♪ You're too embarrassed to say no ♪
This guy has been courting you for months, if not years. It sounds like he really likes you, and everyone around you says you're a great couple. And apparently, you're the only one who thinks you're not really a couple at all. Yes, you like him, but only as a friend. And you give in to the pressure of public opinion and guilt. Because he's trying so hard… No! Just remember, you shouldn't go out with someone just because he's nice and likes you. Being in a relationship like this you will soon hate the guy and you will break his heart.
You want someone to make you jealous
This often happens when you want to prove something to your ex, or to your nemesis who you hate. But, trust us, it's a very bad idea to date someone to make the other person jealous or envious. It's better to take care of yourself and stop trying to prove something to someone.
You don't want to be the only girl without a date in your company
Here's another one of the most common and stupid reasons many people start unnecessary relationships. All your girlfriends are already dating guys and your train is still running late. You get nervous and get on the first train that comes along, without even looking at which station it goes to. Wait, don't do that! Better enjoy your "single" status while you can.
You start seeing someone else to get over a painful breakup
You just broke up with someone close to you and you need a quick distraction to make it hurt less. Trust us, starting a new relationship is not an option. And it never helps. Not to mention the endless selfishness of your partner. Breaking up is hard and unpleasant, but you have to get over it and draw the appropriate conclusions. Alone or with friends. But definitely not a new boyfriend.
You want to get material gain out of this relationship
You want him to buy you a drink at a cafe, movie tickets, and, finally, a Chanel backpack for your birthday? If that's all you want from him, welcome to the club of mercenary bitches. No, we're strongly against that kind of relationship. Gifts are good, of course, but using the other person just for them is not good. Unless, of course, you're madly in love with him, and his fat purse (or his parents' purse) is just a nice addition.
You go out with him because your parents like him
No, no, no, no! Only go out with someone you like! Point . Don't be influenced by anyone. Even if it is your mother. After all, she's not the one to cuddle, kiss, etc.
You go out with him because everyone wants him (and you got him)
All the girls squeak in delight at the sight of this guy. You're lucky you're the best-looking man in the world to have his eye on you. But is he lucky? He's a cool guy, but you shouldn't date him just because he's popular? Or maybe he does not miss a single skirt (while you are away)… Listen to yourself, do you even need him, or do you want to prove something to someone else??
You date him because you are used to it
You've been dating for, say, almost a year. During this time, you've thoroughly studied each other's habits, given lots of nice gifts and said lots of nice words. But now something's wrong. The relationship is exhausted and you are insanely bored. ♪ You can't feel your heart skipping and butterflies fluttering in your stomach ♪… Maybe you just don't love him anymore? If that's the case, why continue the relationship??
You're dating him because you want to get away from your parents
Often girls start dating guys older than themselves, just because they want to start a life of their own. It's hard to advise, because if the family is dysfunctional, then move out of your parents – the best solution. But if the guy who's supposed to help you start a new life isn't your true love, it's better to break up with him. Trading a piece of shit for a piece of shit isn't the answer.
