When a client comes to me for coaching, \u2018How to find love and make a relationship grow\u2019 aren\u2019t the only kinds of relationship advice they seek. When to call it quits is (unfortunately) also a necessary topic to explore.<\/p>\n

Knowing how long to stay and when to go is a statement of self-respect and personal limits. You do have to know yourself well and be uncompromising in your personal accountability. That\u2019s foundational to any relationship advice I offer.<\/em><\/p>\n

When to call it quits is undoubtedly one of the most difficult decisions you may ever have to make in a relationship. No one enters into a relationship predicting or hoping it will end. However, there is a high likelihood is that you will go through a lot of dates, relationships, and heartaches<\/a> en route to finding true love<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For marriage-minded people<\/a>, knowing when to end a relationship that isn\u2019t in your best interest is essential. Your quest is to be in a relationship that encourages both of you to be your best and for both of you to constantly grow as a couple.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy when you\u2019re starting out with someone to seek relationship advice. When to call it quits, however, isn\u2019t a topic you\u2019re likely to ask about unless you\u2019re at a quandary with your current relationship. You\u2019re consumed with your infatuation and all the possibilities you see with this person. How are you supposed to know, then, when it\u2019s time to throw in the towel and move on?<\/p>\n

No two people are alike, and no two relationships are alike. You\u2019ll therefore have to be very honest with yourself and your partner about how the following guidelines apply to your relationship.<\/p>\n

There are a couple situations that are so contrary to what a healthy relationship is about that they should be automatic deal-breakers.<\/p>\n

If there is abuse in the relationship, you need to get out. And you both need to get help<\/a>. The dangers of staying outnumber any benefits. And one of the biggest dangers is that you will become desensitized to the abuse. Then you won\u2019t recognize it for what it is, possibly until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

The other deal-breaker is addiction. Regardless of who has the addiction, it can\u2019t survive without codependency<\/a>, enabling, and denial. The person with the addiction needs professional help<\/a>, and anyone staying with the addict needs help, too. Is that really how you want to embark on finding forever love?<\/p>\n

Other signs that it might be time to throw in the towel may not be so obvious. This is especially true if you\u2019ve been in a relationship for a long time, as every relationship naturally goes through changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this relationship advice \u2014 when to call it quits. <\/em>Do you recognize yourself, your partner, and\/or your relationship in any of these signs that you should move on?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
