Despite the relationship drama that has surrounded her love life with Dwyane Wade and his new baby mama Aja Metoyer, Gabrielle Union recently discussed the warning signs of a failed relationship. 

With the premiere of her new BET series, Being Mary Jane, airing Tuesday, Union was asked by The JasmineBrand about knowing when to let go of a significant other, an issue that her character struggles with in the show. 

"If the relationship starts to feel like a job could be a sign," she said. "A lot of times as women, we look at men as a carton of milk and we see the expiration date come and gone. It's spoiled and now it's curdled and it's damn near blue cheese and we're still like, 'No I can put it on my cereal, it's still good', I'll just stir it around and add some water.' It's done. Throw it away. It's gonna make you sick. We just have to recognize the obvious, obvious signs."

The interview was conducted before Wade confirmed having a secret child outside their relationship when they were on a break. Despite the baby news, Union has decided to stick by her man, as the two "continue to move forward."

Union recently took to her Twitter in a series of tweets to slam critics who have judged her relationship with Wade. 

"The goal is NOT perfection... The goal is to be whole."

"That "you complete me" mess is total crap... Work on YOURSELF. Become whole, healthy & happy & watch what happens #LoveAndLight."

"Workin on ME has gotten me MUCH further than obsessing/criticizing/judging other folks. U never lose when u work on yourself."
