Let\u2019s be honest, you\u00a0usually<\/em>\u00a0know when your relationship is going badly. But what\u2019s harder to recognise is if your partner is unhappy. Sometimes the relationship is ticking along totally fine – or at least, you think it is – but something has changed in your partner\u2019s mind. They\u2019re just not happy anymore. You\u2019re 100% their type on paper but something\u2019s off. And nobody wants to be blindsided by a break up. But if the relationship\u00a0seems<\/em>\u00a0ok, how do you know that one might be coming your way?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Luckily, if you keep your eyes open, there are usually some signs that things have changed. “There are definitely some signs that your partner is thinking of a break up that you can be aware of,” relationship therapist\u00a0Aimee Hartstein\u00a0tells Cosmopolitan UK. And while some of them you might expect, there are others that come as more of surprise. So here\u2019s what you need to look out for\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. They\u2019re just not available<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one is a no-brainer – you can sense when someone is ignoring you. And there\u2019s normally a reason why they are. \u201cIf you find that the person is much less available than they used to be, something may be going on,\u201d Aimee says. \u201cDid you two used to have much more contact? Do they not return your calls and texts in the same timely manner that they used to?\u201d If they\u2019re not available and seem distant when you\u2019re around them, then something\u2019s shifted and they don\u2019t want you to know about it… yet.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u00a02. They\u2019re seeking out other people<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAnother sign is that they\u2019re going out on their own with friends much more than normal,\u201d Aimee says. \u201cThey might be reaching out to people to talk and try to decide if a break up is the right thing for them to do.\u201d Make sure that you\u2019re just not being paranoid with this one, because it\u2019s always important for people to get time with their friends. But you can totally see that they\u2019d be looking for advice if they\u2019re thinking about a break-up. So file being shady with their phone as another sign, because if they\u2019re talking to other people about it then they\u2019re not going to want you to see what\u2019s on their mind.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

3. They\u2019re moody<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being in a bad a mood with you can be a sign that someone\u2019s feeling really guilty. \u201cAlso, are they suddenly moody, upset, or irritable?\u201d Aimee asks. \u201cThat one can obviously mean many things, but when someone is considering a break up, they are often upset and\/or withdrawn.\u201d If you feel like you just can\u2019t do anything right in their eyes, you may need to ask them what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. They\u2019re accusing you of not being interested anymore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Projection, much? Breaking up with someone isn\u2019t fun, so it\u2019s not unusual for someone to try to put it all on you. Either they act like such a d*ck that they hope you\u2019ll break up with them or they just start accusing you of not caring enough. It\u2019s really hurtful and just makes a bad situation worse, but it happens all the time. Because, you know, grown ups.<\/p>\n

5. They\u2019ve stopped making future plans<\/strong><\/p>\n

One way you can tell that they\u2019re not thinking you\u2019re going to last long is if they stop discussing the future. And we\u2019re not even talking marriage, babies, career future \u2014 they\u2019re going to stop talking about trips you want to go on or concerts you were planning on going to. Being super vague about what\u2019s coming up often means that the future feels like a blank slate to them, which is not a good sign for your relationship.<\/p>\n

Now look, just because they\u2019re\u00a0thinking about a breakup\u00a0doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s going to happen. \u201cIf you have reason to believe your partner is pulling away and might be thinking about breaking up, the best thing to do is to sit down and have a talk with them,\u201d Aimee says. \u201cThey likely have lots of stuff on their mind and it would be helpful for both of you if you two could discuss it together.\u201d So if you recognise the signs, make sure you say something – it could save your relationship.<\/p>\n
