Not all
relationships are guaranteed to last...even if you think they are
perfect. All you can do is keep an eye on your behaviors as well as
his to recognize-and fix-problem areas as soon as you see them. The
longer you wait to address them, the more difficult they will be to
repair.
Research
shows that the majority (96 percent) of breakups are initiated by
women. Although this statistic may seem comforting, for the women who
have been dumped, it is anything but.
In
retrospect, most people realize that the signs were there all along,
but chose to ignore them. The most significant sign was a "gut"
feeling that something was wrong. A person's gut is never wrong, its
purpose is for protection. So, whatever you feel it telling you, you
need to listen, even if your partner denies it.
Other common signs include the following:
Visiting
dating Web sites;
Not
marry you within three years of dating;
Being
secretive;
Needing
more time and space away from you;
Forgetting important dates;
Behaviors do not follow words
Continued friendship with ex partners
A change
in routine;
Picking
fights about insignificant things;
Spending
less time together;
Going
out with friends more;
Not
expressing love as often;
A sudden
burst of devotion of love (this is usually a guilt response to an
upcoming breakup).
