Marriage Articles | August 31, 2009

A guide listing the top 5 warning signs of a breakup and what you can do if your relationship is in trouble.

When you get that feeling that an eminent breakup is coming it can be very easy to panic. It is better however to exercise restraint and tackle the situation in a calm manner. Look for these 5 warning signs of a breakup before jumping to any wild conclusions and go from there.

1. Picking Fights - I am in no way arguing that everything should be just perfect in your relationship. Conflict is healthy and can be very constructive to the relationship. With that said if you discover that your partner has suddenly become increasingly argumentative about everything than that qualifies as one of the warning signs of a breakup.

2. Forgetting to Call/Text - Remember when you first got together and your phone would ring all day long with your sweetie calling just to say "I Love You"? Your text-message inbox would be flooded with all sorts of cute "Hugs and Kisses" or "XOXO" messages. Now it seems your sweetheart has forgotten to call you to let you know when they are running late and never seems to reply to your text-messages anymore. Keep an eye for these other signs to give you a heads up about where your relationship is going.

3. Changing Their Appearance - A huge indicator that your relationship is going south is major changes in your partner's appearance. If they've got a new haircut, began to lose weight, dyed their hair or began buying unfamiliar clothes to suggest "I'm available" this should be noted. There is never anything wrong with being a little self absorbed, but if these changes are accompanied by any of these other warnings signs of a breakup, than you may find yourself single very soon.

4. Criticizing - If you feel like you've been put under a microscope and your sweetie becomes less tolerable of just about everything you do from how you clean to how you drive; then be ready to take a ride in the dump truck. Over criticizing is a strong sign that your relationships days are nearing an end.

5. Losing Sexual Interest - Now, you may not have been a couple of rabbits when you first got together, but if your sex life is leaving either of you feeling unsatisfied than this is a huge red flag. A relationship can be easily broken over the knee of an unsatisfying sex life. If you are having a hard time sexually engaging your partner you need to find the root of the issue. While we all get comfortable with each other and have less sex as we settle into the relationship, lengthy dry spells lasting weeks or months is one of the telltale warning signs of a breakup.
