How to know when its time to break up?

How do you know when its time to break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend when there is no major incident like cheating or whatever?

When u feel no connection or attraction towards them
When you kiss or have sex and you feel no spark. That's when you know.when you no longer talk to eachother and spend time away from each other alot then you should consider breaking up

It's just one of those things you just know, everything begins to feel different. The connect isn't there, you no longer talk much any more and if you do it's always forced. When you don't really want to be around them much. It's like, you know what makes you happy and what makes you feel good. A relationship is meant to do that, even if there are struggles you know that it will turn out okay in the end. If you even question breaking up, then well, I think the spark you have with someone is just gone out. If you're thinking about breaking up, your heart is probably no longer in it no matter how much you do care for the other person.

It's not that I've been thinking about breaking up with her, its just recently shes been OVERLY attached and I try to speak to her about it but she gets offended and thinks I hate her and shit. And I have been feeling a little different recently but this has happened a few times and its passed, she makes me happy but when I don't reply to her after like 10 minutes shes phoning me complaining and its getting pretty annoying, I'm probably better to add we are with each other every single day and I'm starting to feel the effects of that. I've suggested that we take 2/3 days of not seeing each other and see if that helps matters. And as to the first reply to the post, saying you dont find them attractive anymore, I still find her very attractive, so I'm not sure what the fuck is going on.

I should probably add that the thought of her not being in my life anymore hurts and I done research about it etc and apparantly "there is something else in life bothering me and I just think its her" hmmm.

Just think for a second, how do you feel about her? Do you still have feelings for her despite all the complications or are you afraid of being single? The part of being in a relationship is working out and accepting all your problems and flaws and finding a way to be together.

I'm not afraid of being single, I'm afraid of not being with her. I feel like me and her have gone too far to end now over something that I may be over thinking about. I know for a fact she is crazy about me and I don't mean to sound big headed when I say that, but I know how much I mean to her and it makes me feel happy that I mean so much to her. I guess only time will tell!

You'll know when its time to break up. its just a feeling that you get. you'll feel empty like there's just nothing there anymore.

I don't know how to explain it. You just sort of know. The spark is missing and won't come back no matter how much you try to rekindle it. You just don't care for them as much as you used to. You feel him/her distancing for you and vice versa. You become more like friends than lover. Your relationship feels like it's falling into a routine. etc

Was easy for me, because I found out my gf cheated on me.:(

Well, judging by the question, right now. My only real girlfriend (aside from my current one) for a few months I broke up with because I simply didn't feel any more love between us. If you're in a relationship, and you no longer feel like it's good, or that you like it, why be in it?

Nothing bad has to happen to warrant a break-up, if you don't feel happy with the person, that's reason enough.
