We know Valentines’ Day is for lovers to celebrate their love. But then, if you’re a couple who is on-the-rocks, you do not want to spend the day of love either fighting or not talking to each other. So, before this happens, you might as well know the signs if your’re relationship is on breaking point, or you’re just both stressed from everything that is around you.
1. You stop relationship-building behaviors. Small gestures such kissing yourself goodbye or holding hands while walking, to texting each other is not done anymore. These gestures build up your relationship, no matter how long you have been together. After these gestures are stopped, you just resent each other and you both don’t have the initiative to build your relationships.
2. You don’t (even at least try) to understand each other. The girl feels her boy does not understand her at all---and vice versa. There may be times that you are just forced to just understand him/her, when in fact, you shouldn’t be. Thus, this will follow the stopping of intimacy and communication.
3. You start punishing each other. Ever heard or done the “He never does this for me, so I won’t this for him”? This may be normal if this is done rarely. But almost everyday? Resentment is here and you want to take revenge just because you realized he has never done something for you the way you want it to be.
4. You fight less. Believe it or not, you fight less, but not because you have fixed everything, but because you don’t care enough for your partner anymore that you get tired of fixing things up. You are convinced that the relationship won’t work anymore, and that you’re tired of everything---and the same goes for him.
5. You have already think about it for a long time. When you’re determined to to break it all up, time to tell him about it. You realize you don’t want to prolong the agony of not talking to each other and are living like roomates. You just don’t want to get involved with your partner anymore and based on the abovementioned, it might not work out anymore. In other words, time to tell him it’s over. Make sure bith of you agree with it.
These may be just five signs, but these are important signs so as not to prolong that dog-and-cat-fight relationship. Save both yourselves the agony, and it might be better to spend the Valentines alone than with each other----bickering and fighting.
