If you are experiencing several of the signs on this list, then you need to just give up. Staying in the relationship will only waste your time and make it harder to leave later.

1. You Always Think That Things Will Get Better
This is a clear sign that your relationship is having problems. Each time you have an argument or a dispute, you assume that things will change. You are desperate for your relationship to get better. Unfortunately, you cannot figure out a way to change things. Nothing you do seems to help.
2. You Keep Having the Same Arguments
If you seem to have the same arguments over and over again, you may need to end the relationship. In a healthy relationship, the partners can compromise and work through an argument. If you are truly incompatible with each other, then it may be impossible to compromise.
3. You Are Unhappy
A relationship is supposed to bring you happiness. There are always ups and downs, but you should generally feel satisfied with your relationship. If you are always unhappy, then it is a sign that something is seriously wrong.
4. You Daydream About a Different Future
If you are satisfied with your relationship, then all of your daydreams will be about a future with your partner. When you find yourself imagining what life would be like without them, this is a sign of a problem. Daydreaming about ending the relationship is a sign that you are deeply dissatisfied and need to leave.
5. Your Needs Are Unmet
We all have expectations and needs for our relationship. If your expectations are not met in your relationship, then the relationship is probably not the right one for you.
6. You Are Being Abused
Abuse is never something that you have to accept. If you are being physically, verbally or emotionally abused by your partner, it is time to move on. There is never an excuse for abuse. If you choose to stay, your partner will continue to break down your self-esteem and make you feel like you deserve the abuse. No one deserves abuse. If your relationship is abusive, leave and never return.
7. You Are Unable to Grow
Over time, your needs, goals and ambitions will naturally start to change. You will grow and develop into the new you. If you are unable to grow as a person or a couple, then your relationship is not working for you. You have to be able to grow if you want to handle the challenges that life has in store for you.
8. You Keep Breaking Up
Think about the happiest couples you know. Do they constantly break up and get back together? A happy relationship rarely involves breaking up a lot. If you are constantly getting back together, then something is inherently wrong in the relationship.
9. Your Relationship Makes You a Worse Person
A good relationship helps you grow as a person. You want to be kinder, smarter and more talented because you love your partner. If your partner brings out the worst in you, then you need to end the relationship. Your relationship should be your source of strength instead of a source of frustration.
