Is a
Breakup Near?
by
Nancy Fagan, M.S., ExpertDatingAdvice.com
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 men 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.
