Most women are blessed with an instinctive sense that comes to life in the nick of time. It’s the red flag that’s raised in your mind, warning you that something is wrong or is about to go wrong. When it comes to love and relationships, this sixth sense is sometimes the most reliable way to figure whether or not you’re making a sound decision. A majority of us have had ‘broken relationships,’ and whether it’s the one with your dad, the death of a loved one or your pet, or the romantic relationship you’re trying to save that really has no romance left – it’s a painful situation to deal with. There’s nothing that comes quite close to the hurt caused by knowing that there are cracks in a relationship that you can’t, or are too tired to repair. It’s distressing because as humans, we tend to depend on certain bonds and connections as a source of survival.
Having said that, it is important to understand that after you’ve given a relationship your all and things still aren’t even falling into place, learning to let go is crucial. The sooner you are able to do this, the sooner you will set yourself free from all the weight and burden that comes with such relationships.
Are you in a relationship that seems irreparable? Are you sure you don’t want to try just ‘one more time?’ Here are 3 definite signs that it’s time to let go…
1. You’ve Lost Trust
Cliché but true, once you lose trust in a person, a relationship or a situation, there is very little that can be done to keep your boat afloat.
2. It’s Damaging, Tiring and Depressing You
Any relationship that drains you and takes up all your mental space needs to go. Any good relationship should add value to your life and be your source of strength and happiness. If it’s weighing you down, it’s time to say goodbye.
3. The Effort Is One-Sided
Every relationship is a two way street. It’s essential that whoever you’re trying to mend your relationship with also sees the need to fix it and works in line with you. Effort is always appreciated and it takes much of that to save a relationship.
