Get ahead before that woman or man dumps you like a hot coal by learning all the signs when someone wants to breakup with you.
Madeleine Knight gives
the all important signs that things are over in a relationship. These
signs cannot be ignored because if it is, you stand to be surprised and
embarrassed out of the relationship. These are your giant,
bullfighting-sized red flags. Get the hell out of there when you notice
these.
1) Her laugh starts to grate on you
That belly laugh you always thought was
slightly manly but contagious now sounds like Janice from Friends.
Every time it happens you have a strong visual of Eeyore from Winnie the
Pooh or the hyenas from the Lion King. Ain't nobody got time for those
animations floating around in their brain.
2) You'd rather go out with your mates than her
Once upon a time, all you wanted was
one-on-one time. You hung on her every word and would have loved to be
stranded on a desert
island with her. Now you recognise all of her stories are on re-run and
if you were in Tom Hanks' situation in Castaway you'd much rather have
Wilson the football as your friend than her. "Whenever she suggested
hanging out, just the two of us, I would pretend I had promised friends
to meet up as a group, then desperately call everyone to try and find
some!" says Andrew, 35.
3) The way she eats starts to annoy you
"Conversation had totally dried up
at the dinner table and I started to focus on her chewing," said David,
28. "It was like it was on loud speaker and totally repulsed me." You
may have once wanted to lick that spaghetti sauce she slurped into her
mouth and all over her face right off but now you just don't tell her
it's even there. Because you don't give a shit.
4) Your dreams are far too obvious
Your anxiety about your relationship situation affects your sleep. Duncan, 35, says, "I
used to wake up in sweats after dreaming I was on a plane that had lost
it's engine. As the plane went down I looked out the window and saw
things flying past the window: other women from my past, a ticking alarm
clock, my mother shouting 'What are you doing?!'.. You don't need to
call Mystic Meg to interpret that."
5) You start to think you don't want your children to look like her
You've had discussions about children in the past but these days the prospect makes you feel nauseous."My
ex named our children-to-be Victor and Hugo (she really didn't
recognise the weirdness of that combination..) I used to join in baby
name convos but nearing the end of the relationship I would zone out
thinking 'If my children had your nose, I think I would top myself,'" admits Sam, 29.
6) You can openly admit to yourself you're just too scared of her reaction
You've seen how she shouts at the
waiters when they don't remember to bring her salad dressing "on the
side" and how she thought the extra onions came diced not sliced.
Basically you don't want to be a diced sliced side onion when she finds
out you're offskis. The fact you are scared about being an onion in the
first place is not the sign of a healthy relationship. If this is what
is stopping you, you need to man up and face the music. Unless you can't
win her in an arm wrestle – then we can't help.
7) Se*x feels like a chore
When she gives you her come to bed
eyes, you literally look everywhere else rather than return the gaze.
But when she is physically on top of you, summoning up your truncheon
with a furious wrist-shake, it's impossible to avoid. If you're lying
back and thinking of England – it's not your hormones – it's time to get
rid.
8) You daydream about relationships with other people
There are mixed opinions on whether
this is a natural thing to do even in a happy and stable relationship.
Occasionally one might wonder "what if things were different" but if
your answer to that question is "they would be better" then it ceases to
be wondering and becomes yearning. John, 34, says, "When I was with
Philippa* I would see random women in the street and play out what a
relationship with them would be like in my head. It would make me resent
my girlfriend of the time even more – that she was holding me back from
these idyllic fictional relationships. We were way past our sell-by
date."
9) She's miserable - all the time
If you start to notice her comments
become more and more pessimistic, she is never hopeful or enthusiastic,
rarely smiles, doesn't want to do new things – this could be a telltale
sign that you're making her as unhappy as she is making you. "It
turned out my girfriend hadn't quite plucked up the courage to leave me.
She was miserable and in turn making me miserable. Maybe this was a
subconsious thing so I would break up with her..." Relationships are supposed to make your life better and everyday pessimism can drive you into the ground.
