Cupid’s Advice:
Whether you are a Hollywood star or not, love comes and goes just the same–and sometimes it’s for the better. It’s not always easy to see that a break-up is beneficial when it’s happening, but often times it ends up as a good thing. The love you shared as a couple has the potential to turn into a stable friendship if things go correctly:
1. Identity thief: This doesn’t necessarily mean a significant other stealing your credit card number. It could mean losing yourself in your relationship. If you get to a point where you feel you’ve taken on so much of your significant other’s qualities and interest over the course of your relationship, it may be time for a break or break-up. Choosing to step back from your relationship to be friends instead will allow you to rekindle your own interests before your forget what they were to begin with.

2. No spark: At the beginning of a relationship, the butterflies come easily because everything is new, but if you’re a few months in and it feels more like a few years, it may be time to turn this romantic relationship into a friendship. You two may enjoy each other’s company, but without a real spark, you’re headed for friendship bracelets rather than wedding bands.

3. Fundamental differences: In order to have a long lasting romantic relationship, certain things need to line up. You should like each other’s families, have similar priorities, want to live in the same region–basic, necessary things like that. If you want to lead an expensive lifestyle and your significant other pinches pennies at every turn, or you need to live in a city and your significant other wants to live in the country–those may be an early indicators that you two will be better as friends in the future.
