It’s a hard pill to swallow when a relationship has run its course. However, each mate should accept that the relationship has ended and be willing to move on with his or her life. We do our best to overlook the obvious in place of the positives that are slowly becoming the negatives, which ultimately results in a very one-sided relationship. Both of you are doing things to push the other mate away, instead of just saying “it’s over.” Listed below are nine signs that are clear indicators that the relationship is coming to an end, or even worse — that it’s over.
- Gut feeling. Everything within you is telling and showing you that it’s over, so why are you second guessing yourself? Always, always, always trust your gut instinct, as it rarely steers you wrong.
- New friends. If things aren’t going well in your relationship and out of nowhere you or your mate start flirting with other people and now you have new male and female friends. Unfortunately, cheating will only make matters worse than they already are, so it’s definitely time for each of you to part ways!
- Disrespect. If you argued in the past about normal relationship issues (that’s one thing), but now he or she disrespects you and sometimes in front of other people, well that’s something completely different. This is a clear sign that the relationship is on its last leg. No one deserves to be treated this way, especially in front of other people.
- Constant fighting/bickering. When he or she starts picking fights or bickering for any and every reason, it’s usually a sign that the end is near, especially if you are experiencing any of the other signs on this list. At this point, the only thing on his or her mind is getting you out of the picture at any cost.
- In the beginning, one of you were so attentive to their mate’s every wish or desire in making them feel loved or cared for. There were endless text messages, calls and emails, but now … nothing. You are now making all the plans, along with initiating all the calls, texts and emails because your mate doesn’t care anymore. This is also a surefire indicator that the relationship is headed south.
- When we becomes me. He or she no longer includes you in anything that has a direct attachment to them, but instead the mate acts like they are a single man or woman. When he or she starts acting this way, this is a sure sign to run for the hills and please take your heart with you, as you don’t exist to him or her anymore.
- Body language. You can never go wrong with body language — good or bad. The sad thing about this sign, is that it can definitely tell when you’re not into your mate. There are no more kisses, hugs, hand holding, smiles, touching, etc. Absolutely, no intimacy exists in the relationship anymore, which is also another obvious sign that the honeymoon is over. Why stick around and be unhappy and unloved?
- Your friends and family despise him or her. He or she was the perfect lady or gentleman when you first started dating and your family and friends had nothing but great things to say. Now, you are in an awkward position because your mate is disclosing very hateful or disrespectful things about you to your friends and family. When this happens and your family and friends start disliking your mate, this is probably the best time for you to jump on the bandwagon and cut all ties with him or her.
- Daydreaming about someone else. When you start daydreaming about another man or woman or perhaps you’re wondering how to connect with the new man or woman, your relationship is pretty much over. At this point, you are emotionally detaching yourself from your mate.
Sometimes, you don’t have to wait around to hear your mate tell you that “it’s over,”but instead you can read the signs. Why stick around to fight a losing battle? Sometimes the best fighting mechanism is to simply walk away. At the end of the day, we all deserve a mate who will love, respect, appreciate, and most importantly, value us.
