How To Know If You Should Leave Him, Based On His Zodiac Sign
You know what you need to do.
weheartit Is it really time to end your relationship or do you just want the makeup/breakup drama?
There are times when it’s clear that it’s time for a relationship to end. You and your partner no longer communicate well, there doesn't seem to be much love between you, infidelity or abuse are involved and there’s no way to repair the damage that has been done.
It may seem obvious to you that it's time for you to leave him. However, there are other times when it’s not the time to end things, but to look at everything that the relationship has, and what it needs to be whole and healthy again.
Just like us, our relationships change; if they don’t, they become stale and stagnant. We want to feel safe yet energized by them, not as if they’re holding us down and keeping us from being our best selves.
There are times when a breakup is premature. When you or your partner are in the heat of the moment and you say or do something mean and hurtful, it may seem as if you’ve gone too far and that there’s no coming back from it. But after you’ve cooled down, you can see that your fight was only a small moment and that you can come back from it.
Sometimes it’s crucial that you try to save your relationship even if, ultimately, it’s unsavable— times when leaving him isn't the best option.
If you consider breaking up with your partner and something just doesn't seem right, it may be that your inner voice is telling you to look at your relationship with a dispassionate eye and think about what it is that you really want.
Will you have regrets about ending your relationship sometime down the line or will you know in your heart that it was the right thing to do? Here’s how to know if you should leave him and whether or not it’s time to end your relationship, based on your zodiac sign.

You shouldn't leave him just because you're curious that there may be someone better out there because it's highly unlikely there is. How will you find someone who is as fun, adventurous, and with such a positive outlook in life? He may be super competitive but he challenges you to be a better person and he encourages you to aim higher.

If you leave him will you ever find anyone as compassionate as he is? Will you ever find a man as comfortable with emotions as he is?

Maybe instead of leaving him, you just need to have confidence enough to share the spotlight with him.
