How would you identify a bad relationship and actually call it quits? We all know that love is not meant to be perfect, but still, there are relationship signals that just serve as a pointer to be worried about on if you are actually in the right relationship or not.

You’ve tried to stand back and assess exactly what isn’t right in it, yet, you can’t seem to be convinced enough to walk out. When you’re in the company of your loved one, you ought to feel energized not drained. This is an excellent indicator as to whether or not to keep him or her in your life.

It is a simple logic, and believe me, i have been there, we all have been there at one point or the other in our lives.

If you’re agonizing about whether or not to stay in a relationship, here are signs that can help you determine if it’s for you or not.

Follow these three steps as tips to get started:

1. Start being true to yourself

When life is loud and fast and nonstop, it’s easy to slide into the next month, year, and even decade with someone you’re not sure about. Take some time out to sit and ponder over how you’re feeling in the present relationship. Are you happy? Healthy? Enthusiastic about life? Or are you ill, moody, or depressed?

When you know how you are, you’ll know how best to proceed. You don’t have to figure out all the answers the first time you meditate, but the more you slow down and pay attention to how you’re feeling, the more authentic your life and your relationships will become.

2. Follow your emotions

Now that you’re getting in touch with your body and emotions, you can listen to what they’ve been trying to tell you. Listening to yourself will help you  “acknowledge the truth” about aligning with your true self. Sometimes how you feel can simply be noticed from the body and emotions, and if you are not happy in a relationship; your looks, confidence, energy level, etc. would prove it and spell it all out to people around you. When this happens, never underestimate the accuracy of your intuition, simply do the right thing, which is to follow your emotions and walk out.

3. Make up your mind to leave

One thing is to make up your mind that a relationship isn’t good for you, the next is to actually complete the process which is to leave. I have heard of situations where someone is in abusive relationship and has admitted it is a bad one, yet can’t summon enough courage to quit. You do not want to hear the aftermaths. It is mostly deadly than repairable! Better to quit a bad relationship than walk out in a marriage, married folks would advise. So darling, if you have counted your costs and you can sense some out of place-danger-signals, it is time to stop giving grace and actually think of chances a better relationship out there could offer you. How could you experience it except you give it a chance? Think about it and make your decision while you still can!!!
