The Relationship Breakup
It’s just a part of adult life. Breakups happen. Sometimes the breakup happens out of the blue, just when you least expect it, but more often there are tell-tale signs that a breakup is on the horizon, if not imminent. This is just as well because avoiding a breakup is a whole lot easier than trying to repair a relationship after the breakup has happened.
It depends on how good the relationship was and how much you want to save it. So, how do you avoid the breakup? What are the signs to look out for?
If you think a breakup is about to happen then have a look at these signs, if you recognise yourself in these situations then, maybe, you can fix the breakup before it happens.
Criticising
Well, lets begin. Has your partner started criticising you, is even the small things annoying them? When love is in the air we see nothing wrong in our partners, they can do or say anything and we would be hard pushed to find fault with them. The more the criticisms, the closer the breakup.
Fighting
For the same reason, fighting, especially if it’s frequent and over trivial things, is a sure sign you’re losing your connection with each other. Small disagreements are normal in any relationship, but fighting is a different story. They’re either hoping you’ll get tired of the fighting and initiate the breakup, or they’re really finding all these faults with you, which is just as bad.
Changes
Is your partner changing in front of your eyes? Have they changed their appearance significantly? Have they changed their views on things in general? Have their habits, like when they arrive home, changed? Have all these changes happened suddenly? If they have, then look out for the talk, “It’s me, It’s not you!”
Communication
Has communication dwindled, do you discuss things a lot less than you used to? Has the highlight of the evening become watching the TV or DVD, in separate chairs? Oops, the affection and closeness is dwindling too.
Sex
Is sex becoming less frequent, less passionate, a healthy sex life can make a relationship, a poor one can break it. It’s normal to have less sex after the initial ‘honeymoon period’ as you become more settled, but weeks or months between sexual contact, unless for a medical reason, is a sure sign of diminishing interest and a breakup.
Types of Relationships
Breakups can be harsh but they’ll hurt less if you see the breakup coming, but the real bonus is, if you spot it quickly enough, you can take steps to avoid the breakup altogether.
Types of relationships can give you a clue as well.
