A relationship is done when one cheats or has become verbally, mentally or physically abusive. It's not normal or healthy to stay in a relationship that brings you down constantly.

Finding a partner or spouse that will treat you with the respect that you deserve is an ideal outline for any relationship.

What if I'm not in an abusive relationship? There are other grounds to end a relationship but all of the reasons will come from the inside. Do you feel accepted, understood and loved? These should be the things that come up when brainstorming whether you like/love your partner/spouse or not and are you ready to end this relationship? Ending a relationship because your not in love any more is understandable. This doesn't make you a bad person, in fact when you have determined you no longer love you partner/spouse, telling them immediately is always for the better.

In any case, whether your relationship has turned into an abusive or lacking love relationship, it's always in your best interest to get out as soon as you can and be honest with your partner/spouse and yourself. Life is very sort and wasting your time with the wrong person can be very harmful for you mentally, emotionally and physically. You can always find a reason why the relationship should end, the bottom line though is how you feel inside and can the issue be solved to mend your relationship? Honestly, only you can answer this question for yourself.
