Leaving someone whom you have loved and respected for so long seems like a hard choice to make. But as they say, after the storm comes a rainbow. Divorcing your husband or wife might seem like a hard choice to make, knowing that there are so many unanswered questions- What will people think? Can I live all by myself and the one question you are afraid to ask yourself- Will I ever find love again? Today, we are here to tell you why it is the best decision to leave your significant other if you are experiencing any of the following. After all, we are born to be treated the way be deserve- with respect.

1.There is no more sexual intercourse.

One of the big red flags is that you and your significant other are not making love any more. According to health experts, if you are having sex for less than 10 times a year, there is lost intimacy in your relationship. This is when you know it’s time to move out. It is not just sex, but even if there is lack of intimacy such as kissing or hugging, you better pack your bag now.

2. There are no words left.

Relationships are not just about physical intimacy but about how well you understand each other through conversation. When you and your significant other are having a conversation and there is absolutely no words just silence- and this silence precedes for days and days, then it is time you walk out that door.

3. They are there but not they are not there

When you attend parties or gathering with your partner, does it even feel like they are your partner? If it does, he/she/they are the no but if they ignore you the entire time and not acknowledge your presence, it’s time to walk out the door. Sometimes you feel the distance between you and your partner is increasing by the day, you don’t even feel heard, you don’t fight anymore or you feel upset over the fond times you have had as couple, knowing you can’t have them anymore. These are unhealthy signs in a relationship.

4.Your gut is screaming

Are you having a constant though that keeps asking you whether your happy in your relationship? Or whether you want to b with your partner or no? In a healthy relationship, this question never occurs to any of the partners. If you’re gut is making you question your relationship then maybe it’s time to get out.

5.You are thinking of other people

Usually when you are in a unhealthy relationship and can’t get out of it, the first thing that comes to mind is to find someone who can fill that void. This might lead you to cheat on your partner creating more complications that the ones already existing. Neither of you want this guilt or to b hurt. Before you end up taking decisions you might regret, leave the relationship itself.

When you are in doubt or having problems, usually we go to our partners for help. If you find yourself not doing that and going to talk to friends instead, you don’t seem to find any sort of compatibility with your partner.

6.It is over

If your partner is unwilling to work on the relationship after having a discussion, then I am sorry, but the relationship is over. So call your lawyer and get out.
