There are many signs that can signal when a relationship is over. It is important to be aware of the different signals so that you can move on with your life into a positive direction.
You are thinking about other people
When you are in a healthy relationship, you usually want to be with the other person. You think about him or her. If you are starting to constantly think of other people and would prefer to be with them, then it is a sign that your relationship is no longer working. Certainly if you cheat on them and want to continue to do so, then you should move on and let the other person go instead of stringing them along.
The other person tells you it is over
Sadly a lot of people have to hear this again and again for them to believe it. It takes two people to make a relationship work. If the other person really does not have the feelings anymore then it is not fair to either of you to continue with the relationship. Some people will beg the other to stay in the relationship, but this can only start something bad as resentment often grows.
You do not have anything in common anymore
If you spend a lot of time away from your significant other and really do not mind at all, then the relationship might be over. If you are happier being on your own or with other people, then you are not getting from the relationship what you should be.
You treat each other like enemies
Your significant other should be your priority and the person you treat the best. If the relationship has degraded to the point that all you do is try to hurt each other, say mean things to each other, insult each other or worse, then the relationship may be better ended. It should be about love.
The love (or like) has left
One of the most significant factors is simply how you feel. If the love just isn’t there anymore then it might be a signal that it is over. Although love can change (i.e. from the passion of newlyweds to a more comfortable companion love) it still should remain love.
It is sad when a relationship is over, but many people hang on for the wrong reasons. Some of the above signs can be addressed and changed, however they are also common signals that the relationship has run its course.
