But you dont want to leave the right relationship over a misunderstanding or temporary argument, either.
Theres still a chance that it could work out in the end.
Youre both willing to put effort into the relationship.

You both need to make a commitment to bettering yourself for the good of the relationship.
If one of you wants out, then it doesnt matter how badly the other tries to fix things.
It takes two people to keep a relationship together.
One wont cut it.
This is the first time youve thought about a breakup.
You havent been waiting for the perfect moment to leave them.
You havent felt disrespected or ignored by this person before.
The urge to breakup is a new one.
And the problem youre facing is fixable.
Its something you’re able to get past if youre given enough time.
They havent irreparably broken your trust or crossed a firm, unforgivable boundary.
Theres room for reconciliation.
This person makes you feel happy, safe, and respected.
Theyre a good person.
They want whats best for you.
They try their hardest to make you happy and you do the same.
Even though things have been rough between you lately, you still consider them a trusted friend and supporter.
Deep down, you still want to give them a chance.
You think they deserve it.
Youre able to have clear, open communication with each other.
Youre able to speak to each other about the issue without getting into a screaming match.
you’re able to talk about your feelings without feeling judged.
Youre not overly defensive or stubborn about the role you each played in the problem.
You believe that they are going to make the changes theyre promising to make.
They dont have a bad habit of promising you the world, then going back on that promise.
They dont have a history of lying to your face, telling you what you want to hear.
You believe them when they say theyre going to make changes.
You trust that theyre being genuine when they say they love you and want to make this work.
You want to be with them and only them.
You shouldnt stay with them because you feel like it would be heartless to leave.
You shouldnt stay because you feel like its expected of you.
But if your gut tells you the relationship is wrong, save them some time and go now.
