Dear Ask Ashlee,
When do you know it’s time to call it quits in a relationship? My boyfriend and I have been together since high school and I love him so much, but there is a huge part of me that feels like I have outgrown him. We don’t like doing the same things together anymore; he hangs out with a group of his friends that I just don’t like being around and I feel like the more I work on myself and elevate in my life the more distant we become with one another. Is this my sign? Is it time for me to call it quits?

Dear Growing in DC,
So, here’s the thing, if you feel like this relationship has run its course, there are several questions you will want to ask yourself and your partner. Are you both still invested in the relationship? Are you both still committed to growing and evolving together and individually? Are your emotional and well-being needs being met? If you can answer those questions and be honest in relaying the answers to your boyfriend, then you will know the direction you two need to head in. Letting go is hard, but staying in a situation that is harming your growth as a woman is more harmful to you than you probably realize. I hope this helps!
Love & Light,
Ash
