Are you stuck in a relationship that feels like a rollercoaster ride that just won’t stop?
You’ve tried, you’ve waited, and you’ve hoped for better days.
Yet, despite your best efforts, things don’t seem to be improving.
You may start to wonder, “Are there signs out there that it’s time to let go?”
While I can’t promise you shooting stars or cosmic billboards with neon letters saying “Let go now!”, I can certainly help you decode some everyday signs that the universe might be hinting it’s time to move on.
It’s more about listening to your inner voice and reading the room that life has built around you.
7 Signs The Universe Wants You To Let Go of Someone
1. You’re constantly emotionally exhausted
First off, relationships should be a source of joy, not constant anxiety or sadness.
I get it, every relationship has its highs and lows, and it’s natural to have periods of stress and conflict.
However, if you find yourself constantly feeling emotionally drained, then it’s not normal!
If every interaction seems to be more of a battle than a loving conversation, the universe might be telling you it’s time to let go.
Love should make you feel invigorated, inspired, and alive.
It should be a source of strength, not a constant drain on your energy.
Emotional exhaustion is more than just feeling tired.
It’s a state of chronic emotional and mental fatigue.
It’s the sense that you’re ‘running on empty’, struggling to find the energy or enthusiasm for things that you used to enjoy.
In fact, it could also manifest in physical symptoms, such as headaches, insomnia, or a weakened immune system.
A good relationship won’t do this to you.
2. They hinder your personal growth
Personal growth is a core part of being human.
We’re always learning, always evolving, and ideally, the person you’re with should foster that growth, not hinder it.
When you’re in a healthy relationship, you inspire each other to become better versions of yourselves.
But what if it’s the opposite?
What if you find yourself stuck in the same patterns, the same conflicts, or the same unfulfilled dreams?
This could be a sign from the universe that you’re in a growth-stagnant relationship.
Imagine you’ve been dreaming about starting your own business, but every time you bring it up, your partner dismisses it as a ‘pipe dream’ or mocks you for it.
This constant negativity can quench your spirit and make you question your own potential.
3. You’re persistently incompatible
Let me use a jigsaw puzzle as an example.
You’ve got two pieces, and you’re trying to fit them together.
You push, you twist, you turn, but no matter what you do, they just don’t fit.
That’s kind of what persistent incompatibility in a relationship feels like.
Now, I’m not saying you and your partner have to be identical.
Differences can actually spice things up.
You might be a morning person, and they’re a night owl.
You love rock music; they’re all about jazz.
That’s cool.
These differences can make your relationship interesting and fun.
But what if the differences go deeper?
Like, you want kids, but your partner doesn’t.
Or, you’re all about saving for a house, but they’re spending every dime on the latest gadgets.
Or perhaps your idea of a great weekend is a quiet night in, but they want to party till dawn.
These are differences that can cause real problems in your relationship and marriage if you get married.
And it’s not just about interests or lifestyle.
Maybe you believe in open and honest communication, but they’re constantly keeping things from you.
Or you value loyalty, but they’re always flirting with others.
These are fundamental value differences and can’t be ignored if you want a happy relationship.
So, what’s the universe telling you here?
Simply put, if you’re spending more time arguing about these differences than enjoying each other’s company, it might be a sign.
If you’re constantly feeling like you’re trying to jam those puzzle pieces together, it may be the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, these pieces might belong to different puzzles.”
4. Your partner always disrespects you
I don’t know about you, but for me, respect isn’t a bonus in a relationship; it’s a requirement.
It’s as essential as love itself.
So when disrespect becomes a regular occurrence, it’s a sign that the relationship is not serving your best interests.
The universe communicates through feelings and experiences.
If you’re constantly feeling disrespected, the universe is sending you a clear message.
It’s signaling that you’re in a situation that’s not aligned with your worth and dignity.
Let me get more specific.
Maybe your partner constantly belittles your achievements.
Instead of celebrating with you, they downplay your success or even mock you.
Or perhaps they invade your privacy, reading your texts or emails without your consent.
These actions show a lack of respect for your accomplishments and personal space.
Another sign of disrespect is if your partner consistently invalidates your feelings.
You express that you’re upset about something they did.
Instead of acknowledging your feelings and apologizing, they dismiss you, saying you’re overreacting or too sensitive.
This kind of behavior not only disrespects your feelings but also undermines your trust in your own emotions.
When these instances of disrespect become a pattern, it’s like the universe is waving a red flag, urging you to reassess the relationship.
It’s a sign that it might be time to let go, to step away from a situation that doesn’t honor your worth.
5. There are more tears than laughter
As I wrote earlier, every relationship has its ups and downs.
But if you’re spending more time wiping away tears than sharing laughter, it’s a sign the scale is tipped the wrong way.
Life is too short for constant sorrow.
6. You’re happier alone
It’s normal to crave some ‘me-time’ every now and then.
Having your own space to unwind, pursue hobbies, or enjoy some quiet is healthy, even when you’re in a relationship.
As a married woman with two kids, I cherish my ‘me-time’ such that I stay awake at night and wake up earlier before others to enjoy some ‘me-time.’
But if you’re finding that your alone time brings more joy than when you’re with your partner, it’s a sign that something is wrong.
You shouldn’t be happier alone than with the person you love.
This disconnect is a strong indication that your relationship isn’t as healthy as it should be.
7. You don’t trust them
Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship.
If you find yourself constantly doubting your partner’s words, actions, or intentions, and you are always hesitant to share your thoughts and feelings with them, it means that you don’t trust them, and I don’t see how your relationship can flourish under such circumstances.
These signs aren’t absolutes, but they can certainly guide you in understanding your feelings and situation better.
Letting go is never easy, but sometimes it’s necessary for your well-being and personal growth.
The universe has a funny way of working things out.
Sometimes, letting go is hard, but it opens up space for something or someone even more wonderful to enter your life.
Always be kind to yourself, and remember, you are stronger than you think, and you’re never alone.
