Hi my name is Reka Morvay. I'm a psychologist and I'm going to talk to you about when to give up in a relationship. Giving up in a relationship is a very serious decision and obviously it needs a lot of consideration on your part. However, there are some obvious signs that the relationship is troubled and perhaps you might be best to step out of the relationship. Such an example is a physically or emotionally abusive relationship. If you find that your partner hurts you physically or emotionally deliberately then it is time to step out of that relationship. Another thing to consider is how your relationship affects your everyday life. Can you lead a happy and productive life in your relationship or is your relationship getting between you and your work, you and your friends, you and your family, perhaps you and your children? If the answer is yes then it is time to take a long hard look at this relationship and why you are still in it and why it is still important for you.
