Signs of an upcoming break-up

By Staff

Break up in any relationship is heart breaking. No one wishes to break apart if he/she is in such a sweet relationship. But, of course, always there are chances of break ups at any point of time in your relationship and you can sense it easily if you observe every change of mood of your partner, closely.

Relationships are chancy, complicated, and at times confusing. However, despite the hassle and frustration, many people wish to bond with someone. If your relationship is good, you likely do not fear a breakup. Still, breakups do happen when someone least expect and seemingly without warning. Unsurprisingly, couples will fight. Some people realize that bickering and disagreements are unavoidable, and work to improve the relationship.

Hence, they cannot handle the ups and downs of courting. To avoid being caught off guard, it is essential to recognize the signs that precede a breakup. There are situations in which a breakup can be easily predicted. For example, a partner who repeatedly cheats, enduring verbal or physical abuse, is simply growing apart. There are many signs of a forthcoming breakup. The trouble lies when people choose to overlook the facts. Breakups are painful. Nonetheless, the breakup is less traumatic if you recognize a partner"s lost of interest beforehand. Here are few signs to help you discern when a relationship is reaching its end.

The first sign is that your partner may seem reserved and detached. Being unable to connect with your partner is a key sign that he or she is losing interest. Talking less, disappearing acts, and avoiding any type of affection should raise red flags. Of course, some people are not as vocal as others. Furthermore, some people are less affectionate. However, if the relationship began with your partner spending a lot of time with you, it is natural to be a little suspicious if the behavior ends completely. As relationships mature, couples tend to cuddle less and have shorter conversations. Still, partners that go from one extreme to the other without reasonable cause are likely losing interest.

If he or she is never available to pick your phone call. An unreachable partner is reason for concern. While some people have insecurities, and a tendency to bug their partner throughout the day, never being able to catch a partner at home or work may indicate an upcoming breakup. If your partner"s cell phone always goes into voice mail, he or she is probably trying to send you a subtle message, it shows lack of interest.

Another important sign is fighting about little insignificant matters. If you and your partner begin to fight constantly about every stupid matter, the relationship may be nearing the end. Unhappy couples have a habit of exploding over little issues often. It is their way of masking the real issue, and facing the fact that they no longer want to be together. Similarly, if your partner is constantly picking fights and blowing small matters out of proportion, maybe he or she is attempting to push you toward a breakup.

Remember you are at the brim of a breakup if your partner constantly criticizes and complains. If your partner is becoming bored with your looks, personality, and so forth, he or she may try and change you. For the most part, your partner is not happy in the relationship. Perhaps he or she complains about your weight, clothes, hair, style, make-up, etc. In a nutshell, nothing you do will ever be right. When you do not measure up to their level of perfection, they will likely end the relationship, and place the blame on you.
