Signs of a Failing Relationship

Timothy Scheiman
It doesn't matter what kind of relationship you are involved in, the signs are the same when it begins to fall apart. It just may be your partner or yourself that is giving the signs but when you recognize them you must prepare yourself for a breakup. Eventually it will happen. Lets just face it the guy who wrote the book He's Just Not That Into You knew what he was talking about. He has his list of signs and I have mine. This article is to inform you so you know when you see these signs you have a problem in your relationship.

First thing you need to remember if your relationship has cooled its not really anyone's fault. You can't force someone to love you or care about you. If they want to leave than you need to let them go. Don't get me wrong I am not supporting divorce. This is something you need to find out before you say yes and walk down that isle. While the relationship is not in the marriage stage is the time to make sure this person is the right one. Even than its difficult cause people will be people and not everyone feels strong about marriage. If your not sure than longer engagements should be the order of the day. This way either party can back out if they need to. Its better to do it than than years down the road.

First sign they spend less time with you than they used to. If your boyfriend would rather hang out with his friends than spend some time with you than this relationship is on the way out. I am not saying he needs to spend every night with you. If you find it harder and harder to get together and spending less time on the phone you might want to take a second look at your relationship.

Second sign they rarely call and even if they do you spend less time on the phone than you used to. This is perfect example of someone just not into you. Cause if he or she was they would want to be near you. You can rationalize it any way you like but they must want to be close to you or this relationship is on the skids.

Third sign is you argue a lot. Every relationship has disagreements but when its all the time than you know you have a problem. When you start arguing over spending time, activities, or whatever than it should be a sign to you that they are just not that into you. Lets face you cannot say you care about someone and not care what they think or feel.

Fourth sign is they disappear and you have difficulty tracking them down. They don't call and you have not seen them in a few days. This is sure sign there is someone else and they are just not into you.

Fifth sign they complain of being too tired. You want to spend time with them but they are too tired or end up saying they are going to bed. They just don't want to hurt your feelings but they just don't want to be with you. They would rather sugar coat the problem than deal with it. They don't have the nerve to break it off or are putting it off.

Sixth sign is they start finding fault with things you do or say. They might be wanting to pick a fight so you will break up with them. Some people will not break it off but will make it so you will break it off. Whether its their way of passing the guilt off or not no one knows. This is a sign that they don't care about you as much as you think they do.

All the excuses for why they are acting the way they do can be summed up in the fact they just don't care about you as much as you think. Its time to end it and move on. It will hurt but its better to act now than to regret it later.
