How do you know when being in love is enough, even when you feel like the relationship has become superficial and there are a lot of times where you don't particularly like each other (I know things aren't all roses all the time?)
How do you know that its better to part ways amicably, even though the love is still there, because the relationship is essentially over, nothing more than habit, and you need to allow both people to open up to new opportunities? Please don't say "you just know" I am going back and forth. |

There's a song called Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough. It sounds like you already have your answer. because the relationship is essentially over, nothing more than habit If that is truly how it is then why would you settle for that just for love? Speaking from experience love can turn to resentment in a heartbeat in conditions like that.

When the relationship is pretty much over, and there are times you don't even like each other -- but you still love him/her, it's probably time to call it quits.
If you're basically just friends, (rarely intimate) and you've just become a habit, and at times dread even seeing the other person, it's time to say goodbye. If you find yourself attracted to others, but you don't act on it because you don't want to cheat -- but yet you really don't feel you're in a 'relationship' then it's time to hit the road. It's best to break up while you're still friendly than wait until you have a horrible fight, that ends the friendship forever.  Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee

If you feel that the relationship is coming to an end, it's over. You can love some one, but they still might not be the right person for you. Sometimes we get comfortable with those we love, but there is no spark or connection left. It's best to end it in those situations before things get worse and you begin to resent each other.
Best of luck on whatever you decided.

I agree with what people here have said. Love isn't always enough, because there are different kinds of love and if all you have left is friendship-type of love then it's not enough for you to stay together, there needs to be romantic and more than that for a relationship to have any kind of fire.

Love is a decision!!!
Not so much an emotion. If there is nothing there! Then move on. |

I agree with others - it is clear from your post that the r/s is over. Re-read your post; everything is clearcut in it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
