5 questions to ask before breaking up

According to the experts, there are five significant questions you should ask yourself before any breakup.

1) Has there been a major change in my life?: If you've been laid off or if you have moved to a new city without desirable results, you can feel like the world is crashing down around you. With that comes a sense of a loss of control. The negative feelings you have towards your situation can be transferred and for once, you finally think you can get a sense back of control by determining the course of your relationship. Trouble is it normally doesn't improve your sense of being.

2) What's my happiness ratio? If you are happy or content in the relationship most of the time, you may want to stick it out. If not, move on.

3) Is he or she abusive? If this person constantly makes you feel bad mentally, emotionally or physically, let it go.

4) Have I expressed my frustration? Look, no human is a mindreader. Therefore, you have to tell them when you feel something is not going well in the relationship.

5) Am I willing to work at it? If you both don't want the relationship to succeed and work towards that goal, it may be time to let it go.

All these questions are good barometers for whether to leave a relationship.
