Is there a relationship break up about to happen?

Is there a break up about to happen?

Use this check list to identify the probability of the two of you breaking up.

  • Don’t contact each other as often. Did you go from calling each other every day, down to maybe once a week?
  • And, returning calls and emails is no longer a priority?
  • Are either of you (or both) very often in a bad mood or on edge.
  • Are you or your partner very sensitive now?
  • Lost the need for those romantic ideas?
  • Almost like you are spoiling for an argument, a reason to fight and perhaps break up?
  • Are you secretive. Suddenly you or your partner don’t want to say where they had lunch, or who they were talking on the phone to, etc. Is the phone suddenly off limits for you to answer?
  • Don’t want to plan anything together in the future. Is it hard to plan anything together, even attending a concert, game tickets, anything beyond day-to-day? 
  • Love and romantic idea settings don’t mean so much to you anymore?
  •  Would rather be with friends than spend time together.  Is it a relief to spend time apart?
  • Don’t want to talk.  Answers with "yes" or "no" answers instead of having a dialog.
  • Would rather watch mindless TV together rather than listen to music or talk.
  • Friends start asking what’s wrong. Friends begin to notice tension or a distance between you.
  • Are you critical and concentrate on your partner’s faults. Senses that something is just not right in the relationship.
  • Never suspects a thing. Sometimes there is no warning if one partner doesn’t want the other to know that they are leaving the relationship until the last minute.

If you are agreeing with the above statements then there is something wrong somewhere in your relationship.   You have a choice.  If you are not married already you can start working to repair the damage already there or you can cut the connection and start to look for someone else. 

If the relationship is over then maybe it would be worth looking at what is happening and what is next. You can discover yourself and your dating pattern using this inexpensive book to help build the right relationship
