No one in their right mind breaks up with a partner who makes them feel happy and secure. If a relationship serves you well, you'd likely want it for the rest of your life. That means you should be willing to call it quits if it doesn’t. You may love your man to bits, but if he doesn’t make your life any better, it’s time to end the relationship.
Here are signs you need to break up with him.
1. He Doesn't Prioritize You
A man who claims to love you has to prioritize you. He doesn't have an option. If he's not doing that, it's because he doesn't care about you. I understand he might have other important things in his life, but you are important too, and he has to acknowledge that.
If he continues to prioritize other people and things over you, you are not the woman of his dreams. He probably tells you that you are, but the truth is you're not. If you have spoken with him about this over and over and you can't see any improvement or effort, you don't have to wait on him forever.
You aren't asking for too much; you’re just asking him to treat you right. Sitting around hoping he’ll come around while he hasn't made the effort won't work. He’s not going to change. You need to break up with him right now because you deserve to be with someone who makes you the center of their world.
2. He Is Cheating on You
I understand that cheating isn't a dealbreaker for some people. But if it is a dealbreaker for you, why should you sit around and take it? You need to have your standards and your non-negotiables. If this man has cheated or is continuing to cheat, you don't have to go through that.
Don't condone a cheater by sitting back and watching. They won't stop because they know you will take it and won't do anything about it. Some men cheat and then throw money in your face, hoping that will make everything alright.
When he cheated the first time and you allowed him to get away with it, he learned he could do it again. He will cheat again and again as long as you continue to condone it. Taking back your power means calling the relationship quits.
3. He Abuses You Physically or Emotionally
You don't deserve any man to abuse you. He's supposed to treat you right and adore you. You didn't sign up for abuse. If a man abuses you, he has proven he doesn't deserve you. If you stay, the abuse will continue.
Abusers hardly ever change. A man who has abused you once will likely do it again. You need to break up right now to look out for yourself and protect yourself.
Staying tells him indirectly that his behavior is acceptable. This empowers him to continue. If a man abuses you, you have every right to leave immediately.
4. He Doesn't Respect You
How can a man love you if he doesn't respect you? It’s not possible. Disrespect is a huge sign that he doesn't love you. When you love someone, respecting them comes naturally. You don't want to disrespect them because you know it'll hurt them.
His disrespect is the evidence you need that you shouldn't be with him. Maybe it was good initially, but if he continuously disrespects you, he doesn't value you. You might think he's the best you could have, but you are wrong. There are many men out there who would love and respect you so much you’d think it’s too good to be true.
If he treats you like you don't matter, now is the time to break up. The longer you stay, the more you deny yourself the opportunity to experience something better with someone better.
5. He Isn't Proud of You
If a man is ashamed of you, you shouldn't be with him. When a man loves you, you become one of his biggest assets. He cherishes you and wants the whole world to know. He should want to brag about you.
If he isn't proud of you, he won't want to be seen with you. You'll be like a secret. Whatever you do will never match up to his standards. You shouldn't give him the power to determine your self-worth. Your value is in your hands.
Take yourself out of that situation. When you stay, you consent to his continuing to treat you that way. You have no idea how much another man would cherish you. You won't find that out as long as you’re in a relationship with someone who doesn't value you.
If a relationship isn't serving you well, it’s in your best interest to call it quits. Until you do, you won't have the opportunity to experience something beautiful. If he doesn't prioritize you, cheats, abuses you, disrespects you, or isn't proud of you, you need to break up now to be free from that trauma.
Now is the time to leave so you can heal and eventually meet someone deserving of you.
