Maybe you think you're just going through a rough patch, or you've recently had a big argument with your mate. Regardless, if that little voice in your head is hinting that maybe you'd be better off without him, then perhaps you should listen up. Obviously, there are clear-cut signs that it's time to kick him to the curb, like cheating, substance abuse or other serious issues. But there are also a few more subtle ways that let you know it's time to consider breaking up. First, take a look at the way you fight. When arguments get meaner - using profanity and other words to try to hurt one another - or become more public, like fighting in front of friends, then it's time to consider some time off. If you notice your man spending a lot of time on the computer, particularly when he thinks you're not around, or texting and checking his phone messages excessively, then he might be up to no good. Conversely, if you find yourself hunting around his Internet history or checking who's been calling and texting his phone, then it's obvious you have some suspicions about him that need to be addressed.

Next, take a look at how you look. Are you making less of an effort - or none at all - to look pretty and alluring? If neither of you have any desire to be sexy for one another, then it's time to examine why. When you're out with your friends, do you put your guy down? If you find yourself asking friends about his jerky behavior or their opinion about your guy, then ask yourself why. Instead of looking for reassurance from friends, you should try discussing your relationship with your mate instead.
