When to move on

Relationships don't end for nothing. There will be signs, such as:

1. You fight every single day and feel better when you're not with them. In fact, you probably don't even look forward to seeing them. Or maybe you're really keen to meet up but they make no effort.
   
2. There is a lack of trust. Trust is the basis of a relationship.
   
3. If you're always second choice.
   
4. You have absolutely nothing in common. This will impact you later on once the "lust" or "infatuation" at the beginning of the relationship dies down, especially when you go out as a couple, if you even go out together... because you know, they might be the type who stays at home 24/7.
   
5. They judge you for things that make you who you are. Whether it be your love for animals, the songs you play on piano when you are sad, or how you have to sleep with your comfort blanket every single night, when people make fun of these little things, it will hurt.
   
6. Your friends and family disapprove and also give you valid reasons.
   
7. They don't care about respecting your privacy and spill your relationship secrets to others, whether it be a close friend or a stranger, knowing you would be unhappy. When you tell others about your partners flaws, you not only give them an insight about what goes on in your relationship, but also change their impression of your partner.
   
8. You have completely different goals for the future and neither of you support each other. If you think their dreams of being a rockstar are ridiculous, and they don't have faith that you won't get bored of your 9-5 office job, you'll end up hurting each others' self esteem.
   
9. Thinking about your relationship doesn't make you happy. Instead, you might feel sad, guilty, or even ashamed.
   
10. When you keep saying "but we've been together for so long" to justify the relationship. You're not scared of losing them, you're just scared of change.
