Signs your relationship is over

There is a saying that it is better to be happily unmarried than to be unhappily married. Marriages nowadays just do not last as long as they used to for varying reasons. We are not going to look at those reasons now as what we will be looking at is some of the signs that the relationship is over.
Women are more emotional and will cling on to the last drop, whereas men will not want to share their possessions so will hold on to a dead relationship.
So, what are some of the signs that the relationship is over?

• If you have not shared a bed in over two years and there are no other reasons such as a sick child or parent who lives with you and needs constant supervision, or one spouse is ill and cannot perform certain marital duties. So you should know then that it is definitely over if you have gone over five years!
• You do not communicate often with each other and when you do, it is always the same person who is initiating a conversation. There is no such thing as a one-sided conversation or relationship. It takes two to tango.
• If you are the only one who is making any effort in the relationship to make the peace, to offer  suggestions to try to work things out. You are flogging a dead horse, just bury it!
• If your partner does not share any information with you and may only do so reluctantly if you ask, then, the relationship is over.
• If you lead separate lives as a couple and do your own thing or when you both go out it is either because you were invited out as a couple and you are trying to save face or you may have begged him to take you out and he obliged just to appease you then I beg you please, take your dignity in your hand and walk away. He is really not into you and it does not say much about your self-esteem  if the other person is only obliging you when you do things together. It is really not worth it.
• If you feel lonely although you are married, again, the relationship is over.
• If your partner goes out of his/her away to avoid you then they are really not interested in a reconciliation with you.
• If you are the only one who is interested in the relationship or wants things to go back the way it used to be, then, you are flying solo.
• If you go out of your way to get your partner's attention and is still being ignored, do yourself a favour and stop doing it.
• If your communications mostly end up in quarrels or even fights then you really do not belong together. 

The list can go even further and more intense but I will stop here. I will say though that if you can identify with any one of the above then your relationship is over.
If you can relate to three or more of the above, aside from the fact that you have low self-esteem and need help, you definitely need to move on.
No-one wants to be where they are not wanted, so for your own health and subsequent happiness, I urge you to move on with your life. It is pointless holding on to something that does not exist.
There is still some time to get at least some amount of happiness but not in your present situation.
