6. Threats of Break-up

Here is another big sign that most people overlook until it becomes a reality. If your partner has formed the habit of threatening quit the relationship or often expresses how regretful he or she is by dating you on the get-go, then have it in mind that your relationship is on a slide.

According to Susan Gacheru, a family coach, “overtones of threats and regrets are usually a red flag that what remains of the relationship is just fragments”. She went further to say that a partner may form this habit to gain advantage in arguments and key decisions in the relationship if they feel that you’re too scared to quit. “This evolves into a form of emotional abuse. Additionally, it could also be a sign that your partner has little commitment in you and hardly respects the relationship,” says Ms Gacheru.

7. Petty Fights and Nitpicking

According to Rachel, picking up unnecessary fights regularly is one of the ways spouses initiate a break-up. In this type of fights, you will seem not to be getting anything right; if you dress a certain way, he or she will come down hard on you on why you couldn’t dress another way, in a manner that almost compares you with another woman. The very things about you that he or she used to find alluring, he/she now finds irritating thus, picking petty fights over almost everything you do.

If your partner suddenly becomes 50 percent unlikely to notice anything you do to improve the relationship, according to Gottman Relationship Institute, just be aware that the relationship is possibly going down the drains. So you might as well wrap it up before he or she wraps you up instead.

If the thought of spending more time with you than necessary fills him or her with dread, then it might never work out after all. If your partner is in love with you and maybe wants something more, then you don’t need too much effort to make your partner particularly the man take the bold step of letting you into his or her future. In fact, the both of you ought to be excited any time the thought of living and sharing your life in future pops up.

So what if he or she is not? Well, you can’t force your partner to want to spend the rest of his or her lifetime with you, so avoid the relationship altogether.

9. He Pretends He Doesn’t Know You in Public

When the relationship started, he used to proudly take you to any place despite your look but suddenly stops being proud of you or stops letting people around meet you because he or she no longer think they will find you fit. There are absolutely no silver linings to be found in this sort of instance. If you approach your boyfriend or girlfriend at a bar, who happens to be chatting up a friend, and he greets you as if you have three heads and then continues with his conversation avoiding necessary introduction, you can rest assured that something is not okay. Sure, it’s a roundabout way for him or her to express his feelings, but avoiding it does not make any sense. Don’t wait until the “B” word comes knocking at your door; take a walk out of it in time.

10. When they Start Boxing You Out of the Plans

Does your partner plan without letting you in on any of it? Is there a “trip” scribbled in his plan for next weekend and he still hasn’t told you about it? Then you better get prepared because you’re about to get dumped. He used to tell you everything, and suddenly he starts doing a lot without bringing you into any of it. Okay, we know some people don’t like to say much, but it is necessary to say the important ones especially when your partner in question used to talk about things he or she wants to do. The one way out of this is to give him or her another chance to let you get on board. You can also disappear quickly for a few days and see if he or she misses you. If not, that partner is not worth keeping, so be on the move.
