The answer to this question tells if you are happy in your relationship

You have those couples that are made for each other. Everything fits, everything is steaming, and everything is joyfully beautiful. But, you also have those couples that are the opposite of all these things. And yet they stay together. Do you sometimes think should I stay or should I go? There is one question that will give you the answer.
If you've been in a relationship for a while, then all sorts of things can happen. You're in a huge rut that pulls all the fun out of your relationship, there's a difference in conviction that you just can't resolve, a dip between the sheets doesn't feel quite right, or maybe you're pondering that slip-up of yours or the other person's that you're trying to smooth over. Hey, where people have relationships, these kinds of things happen sometimes. Nothing strange about that. But what if you're in a relationship where you might as well put a stop to it? And more importantly: how do you tease that out of yourself?
Relationship therapist Ronica Arnold Brandson explains to Oprah Mag that people are often eager to stay in relationships that don't make them happy. This can be due to the fear of being alone, but also because someone is afraid of rejection. In any case, it's clear that fear is a bad advisor in this case, because that's why people linger longer or even never leave each other. Do you doubt your relationship and don't want to stay longer than necessary?
The question to ask yourself is:
If today is my last day, am I in the relationship I want to be in?
Yes, that's a tough question to think about. The nice thing is that you don't have to immediately end your relationship if the answer is ‘no’. Because it could very well be that you are absolutely with the person you want to be with, but that things just need a little sprucing up here and there. That means work to be done. But if the doubt about the person is also present, then you do have something serious to think about.
