9 questions to ask yourself before breaking up with your partner

Everyone’s been in a relationship wondering if they should leave their partner.

Or just hang on in the hope that things will get better eventually.

In the end, it comes down to asking yourself some important questions before making a final decision. Introspection and talking about the situation with yourself can help you make the right choice for your life.

HERE ARE 9 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE ENDING A RELATIONSHIP:

1. DO WE SHARE THE SAME PASSIONS AND GOALS FOR OUR FUTURE?

In any committed relationship, the discussion of the future will take place at some point. In most cases, two people headed in completely opposite directions won’t have much of a chance to stay together, so you need to ask yourself this question early on.

Two people may have different goals in life, but if you think your visions for the future don’t go well together, you may need to wait for someone who shares your passions more.

2. DO WE TALK MORE THAN WE PROFIT?

Relationships shouldn’t feel like a chore in your life; they should inspire you, uplift you, and make you feel alive in general. There are bound to be disagreements in a relationship, but if you spend most of your time arguing rather than enjoying life around your partner, this should be a red flag for you.

Stick with those who ignite the light in your soul, not those who put the brakes on your mind.

3. DO I REALLY LOVE HER, OR JUST THE PERSON I WANT HER TO BE?

Often times, we convince ourselves that people will change if we give them time and support, but honestly, people will only change if they really want to. Also, if you can’t love the person as they are right now, are you going to really love them at some point in the future after the other conditions have been met?

4. DOES THIS RELATIONSHIP BRING OUT THE BEST IN SELF?

The right person should encourage you, support you, and feel shared happiness when you reach a new goal or just move on your life path.
If the person is pulling you down, bringing out negative emotions in you, or not meeting your needs and wants, you really need to stop and ask yourself where your relationship is leading you, and if you would be better off alone during this. one moment.

5. DO I FEEL HAPPY OR UPSET FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME?

Of course, all relationships have their ups and downs, but it’s these hardships that make the relationship stronger. However, dark clouds shouldn’t completely obscure the sun, you should still feel the overall happiness in the relationship. According to Mark D. White, Ph.D., you should never stay in a relationship just because you feel like you “should” out of obligation: if you don’t feel happy, you have every right to express your feelings to your partner.

6. COULD I REGRET HIM THEN IF I DON’T END THE RELATIONSHIP TODAY?

Living with regrets will always leave a deeper wound than coming out of an unfulfilling relationship, even if that means you will have to stay single for a while. Stay true to your heart, and never stay in a relationship just because you are comfortable, or because you feel like you are giving up on the other.

7. DOES THE PERSON ADD VALUE TO MY LIFE?

Does your partner really improve your life, adding color and vibrancy, or does they make you feel drained and uninspired? If you start to see everything in black and white when you’re in a relationship, is it really worth sacrificing your happiness?

8. WOULD MY LIFE BE BETTER WITHOUT THIS PERSON?

This is really the important question, what would your life be like without him/her?  If you imagine yourself to be a happier, freer, and more peaceful person, you need to sit down with your partner and express your feelings. 

Breakups can cause temporary upheaval and emotional tidal wave in your life, but following your heart and clearing all the negativity in your life will make you feel much better.

9. SHOULD I SACRIFICE MORE THAN I SHOULD FOR THE RELATIONSHIP?

A relationship should never be a burden in your life. If so, you have to ask yourself what it brings to you, and what you have to sacrifice in order for the relationship to work. You can’t give so much in a relationship if you feel neglected, so you really have to ask yourself whether or not you feel satisfied in the relationship.
