Breaking up is hard to do. And it can be hard to tell if it's time to cut the cord from your significant other. Need help knowing when it's your turn? Here are 10 signs that it needs to be done.
1. He doesn’t ask about your day. “How was your day?” These four words carry so much weight, and if he doesn’t ask you what your day was like or how you’re doing, then he doesn't care and he's gotta go.
2. He doesn’t pay for anything. It doesn’t matter if you’re paying for a $10 movie ticket or a $1 candy bar, he never opens his wallet. If you’re at a restaurant, you go halfsies. Every time.
3. You’re always the one asking to hang out. If you don’t ask him to hang out, then the two of you will not be seeing each other. That’s a problem.
4. Future plans are not a thing. He never plans events for the future nor does he even talk about the future. If there’s a concert in two months, he has a hard time committing to it. He’ll say yes for now, but he can’t make any promises.
5. He doesn’t care about your interests—only his own. You write, but he doesn’t read your words. You sing, but he doesn’t listen to your voice. You play a sport, but he doesn’t come to any of your games. Ignorance and selfishness, a fatal duo.
6. He doesn’t care if you and his friends get along or not. Well, it’s not like he invites you to hang out with him and his friends anyway, so what does it matter if you and his crew aren’t pals?
7. Your text conversations are all one-sided. When you text him, he takes a really long time to respond or in some cases just doesn’t respond at all. By saying nothing, he’s saying everything.
8. He has shown interest in other girls. You catch him frequently checking out other girls or just getting way too comfortable with his “girl” friends.
9. Your family and friends are not a fan. Though your family and friends are a third party and may not know the full details of your relationship, take what they say into consideration. If nearly everyone you know is expressing concern, then maybe it’s time to end things.
10. You feel lonelier being in a relationship than you would being single. He’s not as committed to you as you are to him, and though you put him before everything else in your life, he doesn’t do the same for you.
Overall, just know your worth and never stay in a relationship that makes you unhappy or one where you’re not being treated right. Break-ups are hard, but they’re also not the worst thing that can happen to you. Just stay positive and remember that there are other fish in the sea, fish that will want to know how your day went.
