How do you know if you need space or a new relationship.

u will just know it when u have fallen out of love... u will be sad depressed n finding reasons to fight wit him or her and tht time u will knw it tht u need a new relationship...

my thoughts are....if your questioning the relationship, no matter how long you've been in it, then it's probably not going well and it just may be time to let go. but this is when you should really take time...alone....to weigh out the pro's & cons of what is in your best interest in the long run. the worst thing to do is to stay in a stale relationship because as time passes, so do your chances of really living your life to the fullest & finding that one true love and isn't that what we all really want! as hard as it seems sometimes you have to let go of someone you love or are questioning that love you've shared, even though you've been together for a while. sometimes couples think the longer they stay the better it will be.....not ! eventually, if you stay in a troubled relationship that your questioning..it turns into resentment and/or hatred and it ends any ways. maybe it is time you let the relationship cool down for a while, find new interest to replace the time spent with your partner and see what becomes of it. the worst thing that could happen, you might find a new " friend " and/or pick up a new talent or hobby at the same time ! hope this helps & good luck

If you're not happy with the relationship anymore and you feel like you want to be with someone you think you will be happier.
