It's true that most relationships require constant work and dedication. But the fact is, not all relationships will lead to a walk down the aisle. In some cases, the earlier we call it quits, the better. The reason is that some of these relationships will damage one mentally, emotionally, and even physically.
There are warning signs to look out for, though. Once you see these warning signs and you notice your mate is not likely to make the necessary changes, it's best to call it quits.

Here is a list of these signs:

He or she is overly controlling.

When two people enter into a relationship, they are coming in as two individuals from different walks of life, with their own ways of doing things.
If the person you are with is not willing to make any compromise, but instead insists on doing things their own way without regard to your feelings, If they always want to control what you do, who you are with, where you go, and every aspect of your life. Then it might be a sign that such a person is a control freak.
Abuse of Substances
This is a No! No! in any relationship.
An individual that abuses drugs is on a self-destruction mission. The person lacks self-control and acts on impulse. You can never tell how such a person will react. Nor can you tell if you are dealing with the real person or the chemicals he's abusing. If you are entangled with such a person in any way, the tendency is that they will destroy you along with themselves.


Serious anger issues

Who else is tired of reading stories of men beating their wives to death and, even in recent times, women physically abusing their husbands? Did it just start out of the blue on a particular day? No! There are signs. Warning signals If he's always critical of people, he always shouts at the people around him, especially his subordinates. That's how he'll eventually treat you. If he gets angry over every little thing and verbally and even physically abuses you and others around him, And in the case of others, they hit the wall and throw objects around the house. How long do you think it will be before he starts throwing you around the house? So, the advice is don't overlook these signs. They are a sure sign of trouble ahead. Think twice. A single but living soul is better than a married but dead corpse.


Improper Jealous

A bible proverb says "jealousy is rottenness to the bones". (Proverbs 14:30)
Some find a jealous partner cute, and some say it's even a sign of love and affection. However, inappropriate jealousy is a negative immature trait. But when a mate tends to allow jealousy to cloud his judgement, starts going through your messages, call logs, and social media handles, wanting to know what you've been up to, or even starts sniffing you, baselessly and continuously accusing you of cheating without any concrete reason to do so, then you ought to know that such a mate might be suffering from low self-esteem, and they might have deep-seated problems that need to be sorted out personally. They definitely do not trust you. You don't want to continue being with such a person.

Rudeness to subordinates

If you have just met a person, they will be nice and courteous to you. But don't get carried away. Watch out and pay attention to people they consider subordinate or inferior to them. That is how they will eventually treat you and your relatives.
So how does your mate treat the Uber driver? The waiter? His secretary? driver? How does he treat his own parents? The way he treats these people is how he will treat you and the people around you later on.


Warnings by people around you

Love at times, is truly blind. You want to see only the best in the person you are dating. That might create blindspots for you. Therefore, when well-meaning people around you, friends, colleagues, parents, and cousins constantly warn you and even hold you back from spending time with the person you are dating, that might be a signal for you too to step back and ask yourself "what are you missing?" What exactly is everyone else seeing that I am not?"
The answer might reveal hard, but not to be ignored facts.


The relationship is not defined...

Neither is it heading anywhere after months or even years of being together. There must be a goal or a purpose. Most of the time, the ideal goal is marriage. But if, after months of being together, there's still no label on the relationship, you can't tell if you guys are dating/spooning or canoodling. Or whatever it is called nowadays. Then it might be time to stop wasting each other's time.
