Hey guys, I've been dating this guy for a year, and I'm starting to think that it's time to let go of this relationship. What were the signs that made you think you need to let go of your past relationships?

You fight too much. You don't love the person. They are not kind to you. It just doesn't feel right.

That's a problem, especially if one of you is being totally reasonable and the other is being totally unreasonable. Personally I don't want to be with a person I can't reason with. We don't have to agree on everything but we have to be able to talk about things.

You need to let go when all you wanted from that person is to win over an argument or prove to him that he's wrong all the time. Relationship is a give and take process. Whenever you think that . . everything he's telling you is not true or if you always assume he is lying. . well then you need to let go. Everything falls to how you trust the person/guy and how you always believe in him. Based from my past two year relationship. . . i noticed that there is no open communication nbetween the two of us and there is no RESPECT and TRUST in the relationship already like what I am trying to point out above. Bestbalckgirl, think of it a million times,one best thing is to pray before making a decision. Pray that everything will fall in its place where both of you will be happy and satisfied with the decision. God Bless!!

Women have a sick sense when certain things are wrong and usually your first feeling is the right one.If something seems too wrong and out of place then maybe some investigation is needed.

Signs to let go of your "would-be" boyfriend are: 1. Attitude change. -If he has an attitude change that is negative towards you, then this could be a sign for many other things like: cheating, fell in love with someone else, insecurity, stress from something else that he is taking out on you, etc. 2. No more romance. -Most of the time relationships go bad because men think they don't need to be romantic because they already nailed you. 3. Bad Communication. -Another sign of being in a relationship that is falling downwards is not being able to talk and communicate with each other.If you can't go a week or a few days without arguing, then maybe its time you move on to brighter waters. 4. Secrets Here....Secrets There... - One of the greatest problem causers in relationships are secrets and unknown details. Keeping dirty secrets only get aired out later on and then cause mistrust and doubts.You know what they say, if you can't trust someone then you can't be with them. I would add on to this list but, I don't want to be rambling and taking up space. I hope this helps you to know this knowledge more than it has helped me or certain others I know. Men have proved to be the best players in this world because they have got women to have kids and still play them and leave them without good cause. Forgive me if I'm a little aggressive in this area but, I have been in enough relationships to know that some either you are moving on up or trashing on out. That's what you tell a man that disappoints you .Tell yourself that you deserve to be happy and find someone better.

Remember that when things don't work, it doesn't mean they're broken. sometimes you might feel that things are going how you imagined or fantasized to be but it doesn't mean it's going nowhere. give time for things to show their color. even the ugly duckling didn't show any beauty at first. hang on to it, if you think its worth that wait.

For me, a very good sign to let go of a relationship is when you feel that you not growing anymore I mean you not happy with the way both of you handles the relationship, when both of focus on seeing whats wrong with one another and trying to fix every now then each others mess and lastly if you're not comfortable with the relationship then I guess its about time to let go.

Well, I was in a bad relationship for two yrs... It was good for the first yr then he got comfortable and showed me his true colors... He started becoming very possessive, demanding, aggressive, he was cheating and consistently lying... It was overbearing and I don't like anyone trying to control me... But, you can also be bored and no longer interested in the person... So there are many sighs to say it's time to let it go...You have to determine when it's enough for you!!!

I was in a relationship for about 7 months when I finally decided to let my guy go. I dont know your situation, but with him, lets just say I should have let him go long before I did. For one, I always caught him in lies. He would always tell me he was hanging out with his friends, but when I was talking to his friends, they had no idea what I was talking about saying he was never with them. Or another time, he was acting really suspisious about not wanting to hang out with me alot and when I got on his myspace, I found messages from this girl planning a place to meet up. She even said in one message "woulnt your girlfriend be mad" and he messages back "she doesnt have to know". It was a very hurtful relationship, especially because I could never find it in me to let him go. I always told myself he would change. But he never did. If your relationship is anything like this, I definatly think its time to let him go. Hope this helped =] -Clair
