If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 799-7233 at or visit The Hotline.

1. You've Sought Advice

This one should be really easy. If you’re reading this article, you’re already half way out the door. When you begin to look for validation to break up, it’s time to go.

2.) You’re Eye Starts to Wander

Okay, so everyone fantasizes sometimes. Even in a deeply committed relationship. But, if you’re constantly thinking about someone else, it is so over.

3.) I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me

It isn't just a Demi Lovato song. If you miss you girlfriend/boyfriend when they’re not around, but can’t wait to get away when you’re together, that’s a good indication that you’re only in the relationship, to be in a relationship.

4.) Everything is Forced

From conversations to tolerating your guy or girl’s friends, everything that the two of you do is more than just a compromise on your part. You don’t seem to enjoy anything that the other person wants to do and you’re trying to remember why you began dating. Guess what? It’s time to break up.

5.) Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Doesn't Trust You

This really should be self-explanatory, but for so many it isn't  Jealousy or distrust is not a sign of affection; it’s a sign to get out. 

6.) Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Makes Rules

From what you wear to what you do when he or she isn't with you. Seriously? Do you want a parent or a partner? Making rules for one another is equally ridiculous.

7.) You or He/She Wants to Take A Break

Everyone needs autonomy, so I’m not talking about you or him/her wanting some time alone. I’m talking about an extended time apart. If you’ve thought that “taking a break” would be a great idea, it’s time to take a break up … you’ll be okay all by yourself.
