Is a Breakup Near?
Not all relationships are guaranteed to last...even
if you think they are perfect. All you can do is
keep an eye on your behaviors as well as his to
recognize-and fix-problem areas as soon as you see
them. The longer you wait to address them, the more
difficult they will be to repair.
Research shows that the majority (96 percent) of
breakups are initiated by women. Although this
statistic may seem comforting, for the women who
have been dumped, it is anything but.
In retrospect, most people realize that the
signs were there all along, but chose to ignore
them. The most significant sign was a 'gut' feeling
that something was wrong. A person's gut is never
wrong, its purpose is for protection. So, whatever
you feel it telling you, you need to listen, even
if your partner denies it.
Other common signs include the following:
- Visiting dating Web sites;
- Not marry you within three years of
dating;
- Being secretive;
- Needing more time and space away from
you;
- Forgetting important dates;
- Behaviors do not follow words
- Continued friendship with ex partners
- A change in routine;
- Picking fights about insignificant
things;
- Spending less time together;
- Going out with friends more;
- Not expressing love as often;
- A sudden burst of devotion of love (this is
usually a guilt response to an upcoming
breakup).
Understanding the unspoken is key to knowing how
strong a relationship is.
