It takes a strong person to leave a good relationship

I need to give props to a friend of mine who recently broke up with her boyfriend because, while she was happy, she wasn’t ecstatic. She had fun with the guy, but it was clear something was missing even though she couldn’t put her finger on it. Rather than let the relationship drag on for months or even years, she decided it was best for her (and him) to end it and move on. It takes a lot of guts to leave a good, albeit not great, relationship. She could have held on longer and enjoyed his company while she secretly searched for someone else. But no, she took the high road to avoid stringing him along until she found a better match.

I think stories like this are a great reminder that it’s better to be single than it is to be in a bad or “just ok” relationship. If your friends and family ask you how things are going with your BF/GF and your answer is “ok” or “fine” it may be a sign you’ve gotten complacent. It’s either time to shake things up or consider a more significant change.
