10 Tips You Should Consider To Know If You Are To Quit Your Relationship by chunny01(m): 8:49pm On Jul 22, 2014

1. He takes you for granted
"The honeymoon period always ends," says Sloan. "but when they take you for granted and become complacent, it’s time to end the relationship.

"Things like the gradual loss of manners or declining personal hygiene means they don't see you as special any more and if they've stopped making an effort, maybe it's time to shake things up."

2. He is immature
"Young at heart wears thin when all they want to do is play computer games and watch TV all the time. Worst still is if they are a mummy's boy or daddy's little girl.

"Seeing them like a child will not help turn on the romance and it's time to re-evaluate if you're at the same life stage."

3. There's no compromise.
"Relationships are all about compromise and you might need to occasionally make sacrifices for your loved one but it’s a two way street. If you're doing all the giving and they are doing all the taking, things need to change.

"If they expect to always get their own way but never accommodate your wishes, it's a sign that they care more about themselves than they care about you or that they're oblivious to your needs."

4. He makes you unhappy
Kind of a biggie. "When a relationship is nearer the end you find yourself arguing more and more. The little things begin to dominate your thoughts and disrespectful behaviour creeps in.

"Whether they're cheating (or worse), if you feel miserable more often than not and there's less fun than fighting, it's time to cut the cord and make a fresh start."

5. He doesn’t want to make a commitment
"If you're ready for marriage but they are happy with the way things are, it's clear that you want different things in life and are moving in opposite directions.

"If you have very different goals it can put a huge strain on a relationship and leave you wondering if there's more heartache than it's worth. Maybe it's time to find someone who shares the same values."

6. He has stopped being intimate
"If you're having sex less or it's dried up completely, things are obviously not working in the relationship and if intimacy is non- existent it can leave you feeling unattractive and unloved.

"Communication is important to ensure that bedroom problems are not a disguised health issue, but if they have just gone off sex, maybe the relationship has passed its sell by date."

7. He is controlling or possessive
"If you find your partner is constantly telling you what to wear or not wear, or getting in between you and your friends and generally being overbearing with their opinions, it's time to take a step back.

"A happy life is not about letting your partner always get their way and never doing what you want. If the control escalates to disrespect, belittling or aggression it's time to get out and quickly."

8. You don't trust him (or vice versa)
"Trust is a fundamental factor in a healthy happy relationship. If you suspect your partner of getting up to no good or find yourself checking his phone, it's time to re- evaluate.

"There'sobviously a reason you doubt them and you need to figure out why and ask yourself if you can live like this indefinitely. If you can't, close the door and don't look back."

9. He is involving you with the wrong crowd
"If you partner is an addict or mixing with characters you normally wouldn't mix with, it's time to ask yourself how you got into this situation in the first place.

"It's time to reconsider if you would have chosen your partner if you'd been feeling grounded, strong, happy and powerful. If the answer is no, then it's time to move on."

10. It is only physical
"Your partner may be able to make you feel wonderful during sex, but if they only want to spend time with you with your clothes off, rather than spending time meeting your friends and getting to know the real you, then the relationship probably has no substance to it.

"It's time to look for something more meaningful with someone else."
