Signs that Your Relationship is Finished

It’s difficult to handle the ending of a relationship. This is particularly true when one partner just can’t accept that it’s over. There are usually signs that a relationship is coming to an end but these can, many times, be overlooked or ignored. Instead, the relationship drags on with the couple hoping that things are going to improve. A lot of couples stay together just because they fear being alone or don’t know what lies ahead for them. The truth is that if you’re getting more irritated with your partner and you just don’t feel any passion any more, things are probably over.

There are signs that the end of a relationship is near. These include:

• Finding ways to avoid each other: If either of you have changed something in your schedule so you can be away from home while the other one is there, you’re probably tired of the relationship.
• You don’t talk anymore: It takes a lot of effort to have even the shortest conversation and then, you end up arguing.
• You rarely have sex: It’s particularly telling when you either don’t have sex at all, or it happens so rarely because you both have to force it.
• Cute habits are annoying now: Things you used to find endearing irritate you now.
• You wonder why you’re with this person: You don’t know why you ever found them attractive.

If you recognize any of these signs, your relationship is in trouble. However, you should still try to talk things over together. It may be that the situation isn’t totally hopeless. Discuss whether or not things can be fixed. Try to figure out why the distance began, and talk about whether or not counseling can help. Have this talk away from home, though, so there’s less chance of a confrontation.

Keep in mind that if you choose to try again, it has to be a completely new start. The old problems must be left in the past and not brought up again. You need to forgive each other for letting things get so bad between you and take it slow in rebuilding your connection. Bring spontaneity back into your relationship. This can put some fun and excitement back.

Relationships aren’t easy and both partners must be dedicated to making them work. However, there are times when nothing can be done to fix a broken relationship. If this is true in your case, you still have to talk with each other. Keep in mind that no matter what’s going on to ruin things, there was a reason you were initially attracted to each other and fell in love. It’s important to remember that even though you’re breaking up. Don’t feel that the next relationship is doomed simply because this one didn’t work out.

Last of all, try to part on good terms. A bad break up is much harder to get over and can cause trust issues in future relationships. Don’t let that happen to you .
