    When is perfect time to break up.that is one of most difficult question.but there are the sign that should tell you it is time for break up.
    The road to a fulfilling, enduring relationship is
    almost always littered with a few attempts that
    turned out to be unfulfilling and unenduring.
    That’s what dating is all about: finding out if two
    people have the qualities and compatibility to
    sustain a relationship over the long haul.
    Sometimes you don’t have to question whether
    you have good reasons to —you just
    know it’s time. But other times you’re not so
    sure. You find yourself wondering, ‘should I break
    up with him (or her)?’ ‘Should I hang in there and
    give it a chance?’ or ‘Should I move on so I
    don’t squander precious time and energy?’
    What are the right reasons to break up with
    someone you once cared deeply about?
    You’re at a crossroads, trying to decide what to
    do, working hard at make sense in your own
    head about what you want. Feelings are our
    gauge of well-being. When we feel negative
    emotion—sad, discouraged, uptight, frustrated,
    angry, or dissatisfied— we can know
    instantaneously that something isn’t right. And
    when we feel joy, quiet calm, free, happy,
    content, and pleased or thrilled, we can also
    know instantaneously something is exactly right.
    The challenge in relationships—and in the task of
    knowing when to break up with someone—is that
    each day and with each interaction there is the
    potential for our feelings to shift up or down.
    That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the
    patterns in the relationship. If, over the course, of
    time the daily blips are repeated and repeated,
    and your negative feelings continue, then there’s
    a pattern you might want to be concerned with.
    Here are 12 clear reasons to break up with
    someone:
    1. You’re simply not happy.
    This is a great place to start. Someone who is
    dating the right person consistently enjoys the
    relationship and feels a general sense of
    happiness. It’s not that they wouldn’t argue or be
    upset with their partner occasionally; even the
    healthiest couples do that. And it’s not there
    wouldn’t be times when a person in a good
    relationship would get down or struggle
    emotionally at some level. But generally
    speaking, a person who is in the right
    relationship is going to be happy. So if you find
    yourself wondering whether you should break up,
    frequently, then that’s a fairly clear sign that this
    may not be the best person for you. And those
    are among the reasons to break up with your
    boyfriend or girlfriend.
    2.You’re doubting everything—big time.
    It’s natural and healthy to evaluate a relationship
    at critical steps, but don’t ignore those nagging
    concerns that are trying to tell you something. As
    a general rule, voices inside you are there for a
    purpose—and they might be encouraging you of
    the good reasons to break up. Sometimes,
    something within us is whispering (or even
    screaming) that we’re dating the wrong person,
    presenting the signs of a breaking relationship. If
    this is the case for you, then one of the worst
    things you can do is to ignore that voice. Give it
    free reign and let it direct you to the conclusion
    you may have already come to.
    3.You can’t figure out a way to work it out.
    One of the greatest reasons to break up is
    simple: you can’t come up with any other
    solution. As you’re wondering whether or not to
    break up — consider asking yourself another
    question: ‘Can you two work it out, and do you
    want to? Is there anything about this relationship
    that’s worth salvaging? Even if you’re still unsure
    about your commitment to the relationship, try to
    pursue healthy conflict resolution. Talk about
    your concerns, voice your needs, and apologize
    for your role in the current situation. Listen to
    your partner and respect how he/she is feelingIf
    you can resolve—or at least calmly address—
    conflict, you can better assess the future
    direction of your relationship. But if you can’t
    keep your cool? It might one of the surefire
    reasons to break up with someone.
    4. You don’t think you’ll regret it.
    One way how to know when to break up is to
    consider the consequences. Deep down, do you
    believe you’re giving up too quickly? Do you still
    believe, deep down, that he’s ‘ ’? One of
    the good reasons to break up with your boyfriend
    is to be very honest about how you feel toward
    him—and how you would feel without him.
    Remember, regret is not the same things as
    ‘feeling bad.’ Of course you’ll hate to hurt your
    partner’s feelings, and will be sad to end
    something you once hoped would last a lifetime.
    Regret, however, is painful disappointment in
    yourself for missing out on something that could
    have been good. If you don’t think you’ll think
    back and wish you made a different decision, you
    probably have one foot already out the door.
    5. You wonder about what else is out there.
    It’s normal to have occasional doubts and
    questions about the long-term prospects of your
    partnership, but don’t ignore the warning signs if
    those thoughts become increasingly frequent. It’s
    not always the case that a person is wrong
    because of some sort of character flaw or
    personal defect. One of the signs of a failing
    relationship is when you are dating one person
    but secretly wishing you were with somebody
    else. It could be that it’s an ex you’re still
    carrying a torch for. Or maybe it’s someone else
    in your life you wish you could be with.
    Regardless, reasons to break up with someone
    include if you are constantly (or even frequently)
    wishing you were dating a different person, then
    that’s a sure-fire sign that your current
    relationship is not all it should be.6. You don’t feel good about yourself.
    Sure, everyone will have doubts and insecurities,
    and they may even deal with some bigger
    questions about themselves. But the time they
    spend with their partner will make them feel
    better about themselves, not worse. In contrast, if
    your partner exacerbates your self doubts and
    undermines your confidence, then that’s a major
    red flag that this is not a good person for you to
    be in a relationship with. You want someone who
    affirms and celebrates the great things about you,
    not someone who wrecks your self confidence
    and torpedoes your every attempt at growth.
    Reasons to break up with someone might derive
    from a very pivotal part of yourself that is, well,
    unhappy.
    7. Your friends are encouraging you to end it.
    Truth be told, you’re not just wondering about
    reasons to break up with your boyfriend in your
    head, but you’re seeking the help of your besties.
    If the people you trust and are closest to feel
    that you’ve found a good catch and therefore
    encourage the relationship, that’s a good sign
    that you two may belong together. On the other
    hand, if the people who love you the most are
    begging you to get away from someone, then
    that person’s probably not the one for you. Of
    course, sometimes your friends and family may
    choose someone for you who isn’t a great
    match. In these cases, it’s not always wise to
    follow their advice. But if they are the people you
    trust the most and who know you best, and they
    are urging you to get out of your current
    relationship, then you owe it to yourself to give
    their advice a serious listen.
    8. The cons outweigh the pros.
    A cost-benefit analysis can be helpful in
    situations other than at the office. Sit down for a
    few minutes and write down the advantages of
    continuing to date the person you are with. Then
    list the disadvantages. What are the good
    reasons to break up? The bad ones? When you
    compare the lists, you might determine that the
    reasons to stay together are more compelling
    than the reasons to break up. But if the opposite
    appears to be the case, that’s how you know it’s
    time to call time on the relationship.
    9. Your partner’s emotional health is suspect.
    No quality is more essential to the success of a
    relationship than emotional health. If the person
    you’re dating is self-absorbed, paranoid, overly
    defensive, easily angered, or anything else that
    indicates an emotional health deficit, that’s one
    of the strongest reasons to break up with
    someone. To be in a healthy relationship, you
    need two people who are fully functioning and
    ready to commit on every level. When one half of
    your twosome isn’t up for the challenge, it’s not
    worth the effort. After all, attitude speaks
    volume. Does your partner consistently
    demonstrate honesty, integrity, trustworthiness,
    and responsibility? If so, that’s a sign of strong
    character. If not, look out. The tendency toward
    deceitfulness and dishonesty has a way of
    spilling over into many areas of life.
    10. Your values differ.
    If you’re wondering about good reasons to break
    up, here’s a big one: your perspective on life
    doesn’t match, in any way. Values are the
    principles that guide the way we live and make
    decisions. The list of values is nearly endless:
    honesty, generosity, volunteerism, animal rights,
    compassion toward the poor, and so on. If you
    and your partner differ radically on any one major
    value — or several less significant ones —
    conflict is inevitable.If you are deeply spiritual
    and your partner has little interest in spiritual
    matters, the two of you are sure to encounter a
    barrier that separates you. When this happens,
    you will experience intense frustration and
    disappointment.
    11. You don’t communicate well.
    Intimacy for two people requires the sharing of
    their deepest feelings, thoughts, dreams, and
    fears. If you and your partner have a significantly
    different level of desire for heartfelt
    communication, the relationship will surely suffer.
    As one of the most common reasons to break
    up, inability to be on the same page—and take
    the ebbs and flows that will naturally come—can
    sever your bond. In solid relationships, two
    people learn to manage their conflicts thoroughly
    and efficiently so that harmony prevails most of
    the time. Relationships fall apart when conflicts
    occur and seldom, if ever, get resolved.
    12. You’re lying to yourself.
    We’ve all been there: we know something is true,
    but we just can’t bring ourselves to see it or
    admit it. Maybe you don’t want to believe
    something negative about your partner, or you
    want to ignore the fact that all you two ever do is
    argue when you’re together. Whatever the actual
    issue, one of the signs of a breaking relationship
    is when you are working hard to deny facts about
    your relationship that you know to be true. Like
    what? The gut feeling that he’s simply not right
    for you. That’s one of the most important
    reasons to break up with your boyfriend.
