How do you know when a relationship is over?

Before you give up, maybe change up the routine in which you do things. Many people get so used to someone, and doing the same thing that they dont even notice the other person anymore. So try something new. If you have a specific night you go out, make it a different one. Go somewhere you have Never been before. Do you surprise eachother anymore? Try that. Have you gone anywhere on a trip recently? or just overnight to somewhere? Anything to change what you are used to. If after all that is said and done. Then you should have a talk about where the relationship is going, and see what you should do.

depends. do you really want to continue with whatever broke you up? usually when things are over it's best to leave it like that.

It could be the age difference also. When you have to wonder if it is over then usually it is or either on it's way to being over. You two need to find out what is pulling you apart and why no more happiness in the marriage. Talk, talk and talk more that is the key to getting to the problem. .

if you really love each other no it isnt time to end it. Me and My gf are going through a simuliar phase. Fights are expected in a realtionship. There are two people involved and two different views. SO you can expect fights. Me and My gf usually have at least one fight everyday. Manly this is my fault because I am under a lot of stress due to being so far in debt and working so many hours. I take a lot of it out on her although I dont mean to. My gf is going through the stage of life where she is making a lot of deciesions ( whatever that means I am not sure just what some mutual friends have told me) Therefore she gets upset at me alot. LOL But before the night is over we make sure everything is fine between us.   Good Luck I hop everything works out/

At the point you realized that relationship was "bad".  The moment you admitted the truth to yourself, is a great time to end the relationship.  Only you know what is really happening in your relationships, so only you can decide when is the right point to end the relationship.

You just end it. It really doesn´t matter why, the point is: you don´t want it anymore and it´s enough. Break up with the person, cry and be sad the time you need and then, be happy again :-)

When you no longer feel the need to be with that person or when only one of the partners is trying

Holy crap.  You are still in the process of "breaking up".  Finish it.

If there is no communication it will not last.  YOu only been with him for 8 months  I would move on.  That would be the easy way out but no one likes the easy way.  Most likely you will go on for few more month or until the point you say enough is enough.

It doesn't sound to me like you ever wanted in the relationship to begin with. Your first feeling is usually the right one. So i would just contact him and tell him that you understand that the relationship is over and that it is probably for the best, but you would like to try to go back to the way things were before you started dating. It is not possible for some people but for a select few it works. Besides you said the sex wasn't great anyway and that is the only difference between a relationship and a friendship.

Depends...\nWhy have they stopped talking to you?\nIf it's something you've done, then eat humble pie, appologise and tell them you love them.\n\nIf you haven't done anything wrong (and you are REALLY sure you haven't) then tell them you love them and you will be here for them if they need you. Then you give them space.\n\nIf they still don't talk to you, then you have to accept that the relationship is over and move on with your life.

These two persons have two traits:  they are individuals but they are also a couple.  Thus they have two views, one as individuals other as a couple.  When they still have a view as a couple (no matter how small or dirty or awful this view is) they can say it is not over yet, if they only remain the view as individuals... then the relationship is over...\n\nNow, you mention 'know' and 'realise' this is the main problem because generally neither as individuals nor as a couple it is easy to realise if it is over.  \n\nYou have to play out your individual part which mean separate for a while... then think and meditate... so that you can find that 'SOMETHING' that keeps you together... if you meditate but just don't find that something then you'll 'realise' and then 'know' that it is all over.

Relax, all relationships go through phases.  Take some time to figure out if there is something in your life or relationship that is bothering you and needs to be dealt with.  If it isn't that then talk to your doctor as this could also be a health matter.  Some times it is just that you have hit a stale patch in your relationship and with a little work and time you will get past it.

My advice too you man is too accept that you 2 are finished and move on! go out with friends and do stuff you know? dont listen to any love songs cuz it will remind you of her! dont sob over this too much! yeah 20 months is a hella long time too date and break up like that! but you have to move on and not look back!

i dont know its time to know if your in love, its time to know and realize that  your relationship is over. He has no respect for you if he treats you like trash, cheats on you, as well as yell at you... ditch the loser, find a new boyfriend....\n\nvote for me for best answer

Time to move on. If you two can't converse then it is over.○
