If every day is a challenge, it's not worth it anymore. Sure, all relationships have their off days, but you shouldn't feel like you're in a battle every single day. If you're putting more energy into fighting to keep it together with your partner than anything else, it's probably time to call it quits.

Reliability is key to a healthy relationship. If you're dating someone that you can't rely on, what's the point? If they're not there for you when you need them, whether that's helping you with normal everyday tasks or helping you through a rough time personally, they're not worth it.

There's nothing worse than the person you love disappointing you time after time. Does your partner have a wandering eye or regularly cancel plans on you? If so, they don't care about you. You deserve someone who is there for you no matter what.

Having someone care about you is exactly what you need in a great relationship, but caring too much is also a problem. Partners who are way too possessive are also not worth it. At first, it might be cute how much they care, but if they're being over-possessive, that could be dangerous. They shouldn't need to know your every move or control your decisions. A relationship should be all about trust.

Your friends definitely have an opinion on your relationship, and sometimes, they can be exactly right about it. An outsider's perspective is often super telling. If your friends think your relationship is unhealthy, they're probably right. If they're your real friends, they care about you and just want you to be happy.

Your relationship and partner should be one of the happiest things in your life. If you find yourself happier when you're not around that person, or the relationship has turned you into someone who is bitter or jealous, then it's not worth fighting for anymore.
