Breakups

We all know getting dumped sucks! And, nothing is more heartbreaking than discovering the person you trusted and loved most in the world wants you out of their life. News like this can be devastating, especially when it appears unexpectedly. If only you'd known the breakup warning signs before hand, perhaps you could have stopped it from happening.

Certainly, there are many signs that show little relationship problems, but I'm going to reveal to you 5 telltale signs that you're about to get dumped in the very near future.

1) Your Significant Other Becomes Emotionally or Physically Distant

Them being Physically Distant occurs when they stop making time for you. They may all of a sudden avoid doing the usual couple pastimes that you do together, like watching your favorite TV shows, going out with friends, going out to dinner, etc. Then there's them being Emotionally Distant, this is a strong signal that your relationship is in jeopardy. For instance, have you noticed if your partner has changed the way they communicate with you, do they speak to you in a different tone or avoid eye contact? Are your conversations with them short sentences or quick answers? Do they avoid making plans to do things together? Things like this are definite telltale signals that their emotional ties to the relationship are beginning to unravel.

2) His/Her Daily Routine Changes

Another red flag that your relationship is in trouble is if your partner changes their schedule drastically so they spend less time with you and more time, let's say, at the office, barring a promotion at work of course which may cause them to work long hours. However, if that's not the case and they are spending more hours at work, then you might want to be concerned.

3) You and Your Partner Argue With Increasing or Decreasing Frequency

Nobody likes to argue constantly, but if you've noticed the arguments have disappeared completely this may mean your partner has begun to sever their emotional ties to the relationship. If they swiftly retreat from confrontation this is an indication they are either unbelievably discouraged with you or they've stopped caring all together.

4) Physical Intimacy Shows Steep Decline

Honestly, it's normal for the bedroom romance to change over time because of numerous circumstances, but if you find that the intimacy level in your relationship has dwindled immensely that means it's time to start suspecting the split.

This says a lot about the romantic bond between you. Intimate contact is a powerful way of connecting with your mate and when it begins to disappear it's usually an alarm there is something very wrong in the relationship.Withdrawing from intimate contact is an approach women use to keep an equal balance of power in the relationship. However, when men start withdrawing from intimate contact it generally means they've lost interest or are having an affair.

5) Your Partners Grooming Habits Begin to Change

If your partner has always taken pride in their appearance and you're now noticing they no longer spend time getting themselves ready and have started to let themselves go, this could be a sign you relationship is heading south, unless there are medical circumstances involved like depression setting in. If that's not the case, then they're trying to make themselves unattractive to you and you'll leave them alone. On the other hand, if your partner has always somewhat cared about their appearance but has stepped up the grooming process, you might want to be a little worried, because if they didn't try that hard in the beginning but are now, this could be an indication the relationship may be ending and they're looking for someone new.
