There are a lot of signs that a relationship disaster is on the cards. How many are you currently seeing?
Body Language
What does your partner’s body language say? Do they avoid eye contact with you? Do they turn their body away from you when you’re talking? Do they roll their eyes and make other signs of contempt?
Gotta Go, Bye!
Are you having a hard time holding a phone conversation with your partner? Do they always seem to have a reason to hang up early? Are they leaving you high and dry when you text them?
Sex, What Sex?
A drop in sexual activity indicates that there is something wrong with your relationship. It means there’s a lack of intimacy – and what’s a relationship without intimacy? It can also indicate contempt – because who wants to have sex with someone they don’t respect anymore?
The Future… Doesn’t Exist
If your partner is hesitant to make any sort of commitment for future activities, it’s a sign that they don’t see you in their future. If they keep putting off buying plane tickets to your parents’ for Thanksgiving, it’s probably because the day after is going to be a very Black Friday for you, indeed.
Space
The “I need some space” line really does mean that you’re breaking up, no matter what the other person might tell you. They’re just looking to get far enough away so that when they really cut ties, they won’t be near the blast zone.
A Not-Quite-Hug
When you go to hug your sweetie, they pull that one-shoulder hug or the quickie-pat-on-the-back hug. If they’re not making full frontal contact, they’re trying to pull away from you.
You’re No Longer Mirroring Each Other
People who are in love mirror each other’s movements. If he takes a sip of his drink, she does too. They laugh at the same time. They reach for each other’s hands simultaneously. If you are about to be dumped, you’ll feel like you’re not synching up anymore.
You Get In Dumb, Dumb Fights
If you’re fighting over stupid things like whether the saltshaker goes in the spice cabinet or on top of the stove, you’re about to get dumped. Your partner may be pressing your buttons by doing all the things they know will annoy you in an attempt to get you to dump them first.
He’s Late… Again
If your partner has developed the habit of being late for everything, then it’s a sure sign that they’ve lost respect for you. If it happens once or twice, no problem. But if it’s happening nearly every time you’re supposed to meet up, you can be sure it’s intentional.
You Find A Secret Something
When my friend Arthur was going to dump his wife for a woman he met online, the first thing he did to prepare was to buy a pre-paid cell phone. Then his girlfriend could call him without his wife finding out her phone number on the monthly phone statement.
Whether it’s a phone or a bank account, if they’ve started something new without you, it’s a big sign that you’re about to be history.
They Dress Differently
Suddenly the girl who was content in jeans and t-shirts is wearing dresses and high heels. When people are looking for a change in their life, they often start with the areas that they can control like their physical appearance.
They may not have a new love in their life, but they’re dressing in a way to attract one!
Are You Doomed?
Don’t worry if you find one or two of these signs. They don’t always mean that your relationship is heading south.
Be sure to keep the lines of communication open with your partner – talking things out and being honest with each other will keep your relationship strong.
