The break up of a romance can be really painful. If it’s ever happened to you, later, as you think back on the relationship, you will probably realize that the signs were there all along though you didn’t see them at the time. Don’t forget those signs because you can use them to avoid future break ups or maybe to get together with someone you’ve already split up with.

Signs that You May be Breaking Up

One of these signs may be that you and your partner have less physical contact. Not just sex, although if one of you does lose interest in sex, this is one good sign of an impending break up. Remember that in any relationship there will be times when you don’t have much sex and other times when you do. This is just a normal, natural rhythm of the relationship.

What I mean is when you hardly ever engage in any contact at all. For example, if your partner inexplicably does not seem to want to hold your hand any more, it’s a sure sign that a split could be on its way. Similarly if he or she doesn’t cuddle up when you are watching a movie like they always used to, or if other physical signs of affection (outside of the bedroom) are suddenly absent.

This problem may even go a stage further such as if you notice that your partner seems to feel uncomfortable with you touching them. If this happens, then you really must talk to them about what’s happening. However, if your partner flinches when you touch them, don’t assume that this automatically signals a break up. There are lots of things that can make someone not want to be touched at certain times.

For example, maybe their thoughts were miles away and you startled them with your touch. If you aren’t usually very outwardly affectionate, they might take the touch as a sign that you want to become intimate, and maybe they aren’t in the mood just at the moment. Their moving away was a signal that they didn’t want sex just then. Again, it doesn’t have to mean you are breaking up.

Another possibility is that maybe they just aren’t feeling great. So it doesn’t have to mean a break up or even that there is anything wrong with your relationship at all. Watch him or her carefully for a bit and see if this behavior is just an occasional instance or perhaps brought on only in certain circumstances or if they always seem that way of late.

Another sure sign of problems is if you catch your partner lying, even if those lies aren’t really important ones. If the lie is just a little, harmless one, well why would he/she have told it at all? One small lie might lead to bigger, more serious ones later on. Even so, this doesn’t have to mean a break up has to happen, or at least not yet. People do lie for good reason sometimes, such as a surprise party, or some other harmless secret for reasons of fun. It doesn’t have to mean they are scheming about breaking up with you. So be observant but not paranoid!
