Abusive Partner Giving Signs to End Relationship - Are You Ready to Let Go?

The conversations are becoming increasingly difficult to have with an abusive partner. It is clear that you want to end the relationship or maybe he or she wants to but someone isn’t letting go. 

Do not take periodic gestures of kindness or a pleasant moment as signs an abuser or yourself want to stay. Abuse is occurring in the relationship and the longer you stay, the more emotionally and physically damaging it will be to your mind, body and spirit. The following signs are evident that a partner no longer wants to be in a relationship.

1. Your partner no longer wants to spend time with you.

If your partner starts making excuses not to spend time with you, it's a sign that they may be considering on breaking up with you. If they used to be all over you and now they can't even stand to be in the same room as you, it's a bad sign.

2. Your partner is suddenly very critical of you.

If your partner suddenly starts nitpicking everything you do and pointing out all of your flaws, it's a sign that they're no longer happy in the relationship. This may be their way of trying to justify breaking up with you.

3. Your partner doesn't want to talk about the future.

If your partner starts avoiding conversations about the future, it's a sign that they're not sure they want to be with you long-term. If they used to talk about your future together and now they don't even want to discuss it, it's time to start worrying.

4. Your partner is cheating on you.

If your partner is suddenly being secretive and spending more time away from you, it's possible that they're cheating on you. This is a huge sign that the relationship is over and you should get out as soon as possible.

5. Your partner breaks up with you.

If your partner actually breaks up with you, then it's pretty clear that they don't want to be in a committed relationship with you anymore. This is the most definitive sign that it's time to move on.

The screaming matches, kicking, fighting, shoving, name-calling, silent treatment, withdrawal of sex, financial and/or spiritual abuse most likely has increased because he or she is handling the break up like a child. The abusive partner wants out and doesn’t know how to communicate or agree that’s what’s best for the both of you. Therefore, either he or she resorts to fights. Plan your next moves before one of you all end up in the hospital, jail, or worse at the cemetery.
