Knowing when to break up

Do you feel like you’ve given your relationship your all, but it’s not working? Or you grew apart? Then it’s probably time to consider ending the relationship.

Breaking up with your partner is never easy, but sometimes you have to do it. Sometimes we stay in unhappy relationships because ending it is such a tough decision, and can cause a lot of emotional stress and practical problems. If you’re putting it off, even though you feel it’s the right thing to do, you’re not the only one.

When is it time to break up?

It’s tough to know if it’s really time to break up with your partner. Here are a few signs that it’s time to break up and move on:​​​

  • One of you cheated on the other and you both realise it’s over.
  • You’ve lost interest in spending time with your partner.
  • Your relationship has changed a lot since you first started being together, and you don’t like the way things are going.
  • You fight a lot with your partner. These fights keep happening even though you’ve tried talking out the underlying problems properly.
  • You find it hard to be yourself in the relationship.
  • You’ve started keeping secrets from your partner or have discovered that your partner is keeping secrets from you.
  • You and your partner find yourselves having to say ‘sorry’ too often.
  • It’s been a long time since you said ‘I love you’ to each other.
  • You haven’t had sex in a long time.
  • You lack the energy, drive, or motivation to make up to your partner.

These are just a few indicators. The strongest of them all is feeling there’s something wrong with your relationship.

Relationships always have their ups and downs. It can be worth working hard with your partner to try to improve the situation. Sometimes the problems aren’t really about you and your partner, but about outside circumstances that are putting a strain on your relationship – things like money worries, trouble at work, a lost job, or arguments with family.

Yes, you can come out of the other side of a bad patch feeling closer than ever. But that doesn’t mean that you and/or your partner should spend years of your lives feeling unhappy all the time. So sometimes a break-up is the best option.

      Hi Jenny,

      If you feel that you want to end a relationship you need to begin by making sure your reasons are clear. Then find a good time to talk to your partner about these especu=ially if you feel the reasons that have led you to this decisioncannot be rsolved. It is important you do it in person since you have been together with this person for a while. Expect that he wmay not accept this decision and so you need to be clear, firm but not really cruel. Lastly, think before hand about how your relationship will change and prepare for that change.

If you are not able to talk to each other it maybe time to consider a break up. Have you tried to reach out to your partner to resolve the issues?

It is important to maintain open and honest communication between partner. This communication ensures you can address any issues without having to hurt each other or the relationship. You need to talk with your partner, talk about how you have both handled differences in the past and agree on how to do it better in future.

      Hi Emma, So sorry about this. Cheating causes a rift between partners especially when partners are unable to resolve the issues.

      Hi Caren, Condoms are one option for preventing Pregnancy you can consider using. Safe days can be unreliable for preventing pregnancy. You can however consider other methods. It maybe important to begin by getting tested for HIV together if you haven’t already since only condoms can prevent both Sexually Transmitted Infections and pregnancy. However, if you are not ready for this and you are unable to agree on how to proceed it may be time to break up.

    The couples of today have forgotten the importance of the intimate time they spend together before drifting off to bed(Pillow talk)
    Talking with your partner at this time each wrapped up in each others time when hormone are firing is essential as people are more agreeable at the time,instead of starting a conversation on matters relationship at okward times is distasteful.This moment is also a build up to good sex and sexual gratifications as each is able to set the mood for sex instead of rushing into it half cocked leaving each frustrated.If a partner is however abusive you simply need to remind each other why you fell in love in the first place,do that kinky stuff you loved ,bring back the roaring flames of passion and in no time no one will remember why you are fighting in the first place.Thats my take,remind each other what matters most.Not anything else in the world but each other.

      Hi there, so sorry about this. No one really deserves this, but it appears he no longer wants to be in a relationship with you. You could consider talking with him about how to end the relationship and move forward. You also need to agree on how he will take care of the children. The other way is to go the legal route, where he will be compelled by the law to take care of the children. We wish you well.

      Hey Phillo, we are not a dating service and for this reason we are not able to help you meet someone.

    We fight alot I and my partner because of very small issues that do not warrant fighting. Does this mean we are done our relationship cannot be fixed? Please help.

    1. Hi there, sorry about this…

      Hi there, sorry about this. All relationships have problems from time to time including fights. It is however how the partners choose to address their differences when they arise that makes the difference. On the other hand, fighting or arguing very frequently, may indicate deep seated dissatisfaction in the relationship. It’s for this reason, important for partners to talk and get to know the real source of the many fights and then address the identified issues. Also, because you will always see things differently some of the time, it is important to establish some norms on how to address the differences when they occur to ensure that partners don’t end up hurting each other. Open and honest communication can help to address such issues without hurting each other.

    1. Hey Ascar, a relationship…

      Hey Ascar, a relationship can recover after a partner cheats. It however depends on whether both partners are willing to make it work, the person who cheated should be remorseful, ask for forgiveness and commit to the relationship. The person who was cheated on should also be willing to forgive. It may take sometime to rebuild the trust but if partners are committed to each other they can restore their relationship. Be honest with your partner, share with them your concerns and fears.

      Hi Chelsea, it is important for partners to talk about sex. Partners need to talk about what they like, this will help partners to find a good balance for their relationship. If one partner needs to introduce something new or different, they still need to talk to their partner and see id they are willing to try it out. If you are unwilling to try out something new, let your partner know who should also respect your choice. If your partner insists on something that makes you uncomfortable and is unwilling to let it go, you may have to consider breaking up.

      Hey Pesh, people will cheat for various reasons unique to them. Cheating has negative effects in a relationship, we agree. However, partners can still make a relationship work after a cheating incident if they want to and choose to. The person cheated on needs to be willing to forgive the person who cheated who should also be willing to take responsibility of their actions, seek forgiveness and commit to the relationship. In some cases however cheating may mean the end of a relationship. Check out this article;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/love-relationships/relationship-problems/why-do-people-cheat

      Hi, first violence is not allowed in any situation in a relationship and also this was not your fault. It appears that you talked about it but this did not address the issues and this maybe why you are still afraid that this may happen again. If you are unable to trust that your partner will keep their word, talk to them and have them reassure you of their commitment to you, the relationship and that this won’t happen again. If you are consistently worried about what they may or may not do, you need to think about whether this is the relationship you want to be in. Take sometime, think about it and then make an informed decision on how move forward.

      Dear Elaine, so sorry about all this. You need to ask yourself what you want moving forward? While you have children together, you can choose the path of co-parenting to ensure that you don’t live in an unhappy marriage for the rest of your life seeing that your children are still young. The other options is for you both to work on mending your relationship and trust. Take sometime and consider all your options before making an informed choice. All the best.

      Hi there, sorry about this. Did you plan together about this pregnancy or it just happened? It appears that your partner was not prepared for this and this has caused a strain in your relationship. It is important that you find a good time and talk about both the pregnancy moving forward as well as what is happening in your relationship and what has brought about the changes you have seen.

    I’ve been dating this girl for about two months now. Everything has been perfect, we clicked since the first day we met, communication is great and we meet often plus I make sure I take her out often too. However recently I realized that she lied to me we were to meet but she gave an excuse of going to meet her uncle who stays in town, but I realized she dint go there. When I ask where she was she gets so confrontational and says I don’t trust her. Is that a red flag?

    1. Hey Fabian, it is…

      Hey Fabian, it is challenging to determine what really happened and whether she cheated on you. All you can do is to seek to find out what really happened without accusing her of cheating. The only way to address this and resolve it is to talk about it. Communication is important in any relationship especially when it comes to resolving problems. All couples have problems but is is how a couple chooses to resolve the issues makes the difference. Have a look at the following articles for more information;-

    1. Hi Jane, all you can do at…

      Hi Jane, all you can do at this time is to try and reach out to him and talk about the baby you are going to have together. You need to agree on how he can participate in raising this child. You may not have a lot of control over how they behave but you can try talk with him about the cheating and drinking that you have observed. More importantly, you need to think about the future of your relationship with him and decide if you wish to keep the relationship or not. Remember, the more partners he has the higher the chances you will also be exposed to the risk of getting infected with a Sexually Transmitted Infection.

    1. Hi Ime, first, there is…

      Hi Ime, first, there is nothing wrong with you. It appears your partner is experiencing premature ejaculation. This is caused by a number of reasons including fear, anxiety or even stress. Anxiety that one will not perform can make them ejaculate much earlier or stress from either the relationship or work could also affect how soon they ejaculate. In younger men, it could be the result of sexual inexperience, as one gets older however and also gains more experience they become better at controlling their ejaculation. There are a few things your partner can do to overcome Premature ejaculation, see the following article;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/making-love/sex-problems-how-to-overcome-them/how-to-overcome-premature-ejaculation  Overcoming this will take practice and time. Try support your partner during this period. On the other hand, it is completely normal for men to have what is called a refractory period, where it cannot get hard after ejaculation. Honestly, your body is just telling you that it needs some time. There is no real way to change it or make it happen less, so just try to work with your body. If you are really hoping to have more sex, then take the time to recharge and focus on your partner. This is a good time to focus on them and give them pleasure. You will become hard again in no time and continue.

      Hello Jame, thank you for reaching out to us. It is great that you had a conversation with her. If the situation still persists, you may decide to have another conversation with her. However, you may have to set boundaries for yourself within this relationship. If you are repeatedly disrespected, at what point do you decide that you cannot take anymore. This is something you might have to have at the back of your mind while you have this conversation.

      Hello Blessing, we are sorry you are going through such a hard time. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Explain how their actions are affecting you and the relationship. Try not to be confrontational because that would put them on the defensive and the resulting conversation would not be productive.  Be ready to listen to their fears and feelings and respond to them as well.

    1. Hi Caroline, thank you for…

      Hi Caroline, thank you for reaching out to us. We are so sorry to hear that you are going through such a hard time. Relationships go through ups and downs, this is normal. If you do not feel that you are ready to break up then the two of you need to sit down and talk out the issues you feel you might have. Find common ground, you may have given up on one aspect, but you can find other things to hold on to. Love sometimes means fighting for each other.

      Hi Abdulrasheed, it is okay not to be ready for the breakup. Take all the time you need and leave when you feel you are ready.
