Danny R. Gibson, LMFT: I often say there are a couple things we need to look at sometimes after or during when we’re ending a relationship. We need to look at our self in a lot of ways.
Do we like the person we’ve become in the relationship? Do you think you are a worse person than when you are alone? Then perhaps you need to move on. When you feel that there’s some sort of inequality in the relationship. You’re always the one that’s planning dinners, organizing dates, always reaching out, asking questions, that you do all the heavy lifting in the relationship.
There’s a time you start re-evaluating if this is the type of relationship that is working out for me. Look if you’re in a relationship and doing all the work, then what’s the point/ you’re supposed to be in a relationship. If you feel like you don’t love the person, then that’s pretty easy. I don’t love you anymore.
It may be time we need to move on. We realize we may love the person, but not like them and we have to ask ourselves if that’s a type of relationship that we want to stay in or not. Look at the scale, if other negatives outweigh the positives. If there are more negatives than positives in your relationship; it may be a sign for you to move on with your life.
