10 Damn Good Reasons To Walk Away

Women aren’t quitters, especially when it comes to those we care about and our relationships with them.

We’ll fight till the end to make it work, but what happens when you wake up one day and the only thought in your mind is, ‘I’m done’?

What happens when being in your relationship leaves you feeling exhausted and completely drained?

When do you know it’s time to let go? When is the right time to walk away? Here are some compelling reasons he might no longer deserve your time and love.

You’re not happy

Regardless of any other factors, if you’re not truly happy in your relationship and nothing seems to fix it, it’s time to move on.

Remember, your happiness matters. If you’re constantly giving parts of yourself to make others happy but end up miserable, they’re not worth your effort.

No one deserves your happiness more than you do.

Your friends can’t listen anymore

You’ve been struggling in your relationship for what feels like forever.

You’ve sought help from friends and family, but they’ve reached their limit listening to it.

They’ve given up on your relationship, hoping you’ll do the same. What’s holding you back from doing it?

You cry more than you laugh

Being in a relationship should bring you joy, not sadness or pain.

Having someone by your side, someone you chose to walk through life with, is what a relationship is about.

But if that person makes you cry instead of lifting you up and making you happy, it’s time to say, ‘I’m done’.

You feel constantly anxious

You’re constantly on edge, always looking over your shoulder, lacking trust, and feeling like something’s wrong even when it’s not.

You’re continually worried about his reaction to something you did, afraid he’ll start another argument. You find yourself apologizing for things you shouldn’t.

No one has the right to impact your mental health and stress you out to the point of losing yourself. Remember, you deserve better than living in constant fear.

Your future goals don’t align

The most crucial part of having a future in a relationship is sharing the same vision.

If one of you isn’t interested in marriage or kids while the other dreams of a family, there’s little chance of a future together.

If one of you gives up on dreams to make the other happy, resentment and regret will eventually surface and harm the relationship.

It’s exhausting you

It’s not just emotionally draining; it saps your energy and strength as well.

It might even drain you financially if you’re the one covering bills and dates. Soon, it will affect your ability to work, concentrate, and sleep.

You constantly feel utterly exhausted—tired of his half-hearted love, tired of being ignored, tired of being hurt. It’s time to prioritize yourself and leave him behind.

He is abusive

There are countless forms of abuse, and none are acceptable.

If you sense he might be controlling, manipulative, verbally or emotionally abusive, leave immediately. Abuse isn’t always physical.

He brings out your worst side

He seems to know just how to provoke you, making you lose your cool in seconds when you’ve always been calm.

He brings out anger and emotions you didn’t know you could feel. The negativity is slowly poisoning you, changing who you are.

Relationships should bring out the best in us, offering support and being each other’s biggest fans.

Bringing out the worst in each other is a clear sign of a toxic relationship—one you should definitely exit.

He tries to put you down

He compares you to others, saying they are more attractive, smarter, or funnier.

This is his way of feeling better about himself by making you question your worth. He’ll belittle everything you do for him, for your relationship, or any success you achieve.

No matter how much effort you put in, it will never be enough. Is that type of man worth your energy?

Is that type of man worth your love? Absolutely not!

Loyalty is missing

Loyalty is often considered the most important quality in relationships.

Without trust and loyalty, there is no genuine love. If he doesn’t make you feel like you’re the only one, if he ignores your feelings and wishes, it’s time to let him go.

True love requires commitment, loyalty, and trust. Love without these elements is just pain disguised in pretty wrapping.
