“Everything in life comes with an expiry date,” quotes the cliched saying that every broken heart has heard at one point of time or the other. Still when it comes to real life and relationships, we often tend to stick to relationships even though we know that their time has come. Sometimes we are afraid of hurting the other person, whereas sometimes things are just so unpredictable that they scare you. However, there comes a time when you know that you have had enough and it’s time for you now to pull the string, make the tough call and move on. And how do you know that this time has come? If you are wondering over it, the following points might help.

5. You’re not allowed to be in touch with your friends

Being protective is nice. Being possessive is not. And there is a fine line between being protective and being possessive. Your boyfriend calling you up when you are travelling late at night is being protective; calling up every few minutes when you are out for a movie with your friends is not. Similarly, your girlfriend pressurizing you to stop hanging out with your friends is not cool. Your partner needs to trust you enough to know that you will never cheat on him/her. Unless that trust is gained (which takes time and patience, even more than usual if it has been broken once), your relationship can’t survive for long.

6. You are always putting your partner’s needs before yours

It is okay to order Chinese food because your partner wants to eat it, even when you want to eat Italian food. Adjusting is extremely important in any relationship, but you need to ensure that you are not a pushover. If every important decision is solely based on what your partner wants then it is a sign of an unhealthy relationship and a sign that things might not stay good for long. So either you learn to put your foot down when required or learn to let go of the relationship because there are chances that you might end up feeling suppressed if things run the same.
