A love break up is almost always painful. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. But a breakup can be beneficial if you pay attention. For example, it’s much easier to see the warning signs. This can be particularly helpful in potentially getting back together again sometime down the road.
So what are some typical warning signs that a love break up is on the horizon?
One sure sign is the lack of physical contact. By physical contact, I’m referring not only to sex, but also to those little intimacies such as kissing and cuddling, holding hands and appreciating the presence of your partner. If your partner suddenly stops putting his arm over your shoulder, or you stop suddenly stop giving him a peck on the cheek as leaves for work, these are warning signs of trouble in the relationship.
A second sign to be on the watch for is lying. Catching your partner in a lie, even a small and harmless one, is often a sign of bigger problems.
So look back on your relationship and look for the signs that you might have overlooked. Do this without looking for fault, but looking for an understanding of what went wrong. Maybe next time you can catch it early and work through the problem before it becomes insurmountable.
