The reason for a breakup is not always a sudden event, betrayal or lies. A decrease in attraction is a long process that many notice too late.

Signs of a deteriorating relationship can be identified in advance. Signs that it is time to end a relationship accumulate unnoticed over months and even years.

The partners are gradually moving away, and it will be difficult or even impossible to restore the lost sincerity. There are signals that indicate an inevitable breakup:

Small quarrels that bring a storm

Scandals over an unwashed glass develop into accusations, discontent and recollections of past unpleasant situations or problems in life together.

If all small quarrels turn into a real war, it means that unresolved issues have accumulated.

Such a couple is used to putting off solving problems for later, so any little thing becomes a catalyst. This is the most common reason leading to an inevitable breakup.

Nearby but not together

Previously, partners spent all their free time together. They walked in the park, watched movies, and even cooked or brushed their teeth at the same time, just to be close. Now, lovers began to meet briefly, and in the evenings, they began to go home, this is an important signal.

If a couple or one of the couple wants to spend time alone rather than with their other half, then this indicates that the relationship will soon end.

Irritability

If stupid jokes, behavior, tone of voice drive you crazy, then you shouldn’t ignore this important sign.

At the beginning of a relationship, people look at each other through a veil of passion and do not notice the flaws. Then comes the stage where everything good fades into the background and the flaws come to light.

It turns out that the partner is not ideal and has irritating traits. You can try to accept them, but if these moments affect the emotional state, will a person be able to live with this all his life?

You are not online

At first, the lovers called and wrote messages to each other dozens of times a day. Now they can not communicate for several days, and not feel anxious. All this is one of the signs of a possible deterioration in relations.

Of course, if the pause is pre-arranged, for example, due to a slump at work or urgent matters, then this is in no way connected with a loss of interest. It’s a different matter if everything started suddenly and without warning.

Lack of caring instinct

The beginning of any close relationship is accompanied by a desire to take care of the partner. To visit and bring medicine if the other half is sick or to cover with a blanket if she fell asleep in a chair. All these are signs of strong empathy and an internal desire to care.

If the previous emotions are replaced by irritation and lack of help and empathy, then it is worth thinking. This signal indicates that the relationship is going the wrong way. You should think carefully - is it possible to change something and is there a desire to do it?

No partner in plans

Frequent verbal expressions where the word "We" is not present, saving money in a separate account in secret from the other half, planning a vacation without him (her) - all these are harbingers of the fact that it is no longer comfortable to be together. This is a serious sign that the connection between partners is fading.
