I feel like this topic has already been created, but not sure, so please close if it has or is related to something but this is just something smaller!

I'm not sure what the signs are, but I would like to know from someone experienced or that has some idea of it before I get too into the relationship. xD; Also, I'm just curious.

Well, I feel like a lot of the time the signs are obvious. I always saw it coming, but it's hard for me to verbally explain in text what they are. You just get an over-all feeling of distance from your partner, and usually small things about the relationship change. Maybe they want to see you less, or for smaller amounts of time, maybe they don't text/call you as often anymore, don't try to hold your hand as much anymore, etc etc. Stuff like that?

when I saw her in the hallways, said hey with a smile cheerfully as usual, took her hand and she swung it away. true story.

0_O.. That's cold.
Maybe she didn't realize it was you and thought it was someone trying to mess with her. x_x

[Kanzen]

They don't ask questions about your day/life anymore, aren't as affectionate, make plans without you, less eye contact, etc. It's usually pretty obvious.

nop we were facing each other as I was walking. turns out he lost feelings for me but didn't want to say it in front of our friends so swung my hand away as she no longer liked me. then broke up with me on msn.

I also think that you'll know, as it is obvious, and be wary when you find yourself making excuses for him/her. :\

[se7en]

You'll know... things change and it just doesn't feel good...

[jaeka]

First time round I didn't have any signs. It was after one of our many petty arguments then my friend got involved and it all got worse. But I was like, oh okay, so my friend stuck her nose in and it got a bit out of hand, it won't effect us...
hour later I get a call "I think we should break up."
D:

we're back together now so <3

With my ex, it was really hard to explain. We had a sort of awkward experience before (about going further; he wanted to, I didn't, and it was an issue before which really upset me) and even though we didn't talk about it at the time, something just...changed. This was on a Friday. The whole weekend I had the feeling we were going to break up, even though I can't really describe it, I just knew we were, and then on Monday, we did.

Sigh...feels like my situation right now, I hope it's not true.

I've been getting those same "signs," from my boyfriend, xD. It's really bothersome and I'm trying to ignore it because he constantly reminds me that it's just from the stress that comes from school and work and such. I'm so blunt about it, I'm just like "Are you planning on breaking up with me?" but he tells me no, I believe him, lol..

We're just currently struggling to keep it together because school and work is keeping us both so busy

[plegend2007]

I think the most obvious sign is a lack of communication; and by that I mean, when the couple start to talk less and less with passing time. When talking to your s/o becomes a chore or duty rather than pleasure. Also, some of the above posters made some great points as well.

Overall, you just know. You might not want to admit it, but you just know.

[bonjour tristesse.]

Lack of communication, most definitely. Most of the times, everyone can tell that their s/o is about to break up with them. Just that in my opinion, most of us refuses to face it.

[danielluv]

Yes, lack of communication. completely.
and also lack of understanding and empathy from the other person. (whether or not they mean it that way, if you feel that's how you treated, something's going on)
giving excuses to not meet up ..
or asking to take a break...
stuff like that. I saw the signs before it happened. But then again I was the one to break it, I guess the signs got too much to handle so we ended up mutually ending it.

[LEE.YU]

lack of communication, less affection, excuses when you want to hang out... i think it'll be pretty obvious.

[handsomecupcakee]

Uhoh... 'lack of communication..'
These are happening to me..><"
I hope he doesnt want to break up..x-x

[MangoStar]

Its obvious. When they stop being affectionate, lack of communication etc. If you're in tune with those things you'll usually pick it up before they even break up with you.

[junkers]

There are no signs. Dont make assumptions. When you see other guy sticking into the hole, then thats the sign!

[chocopocky]

It's a lack of a bit of everything. You just feel something strange. Best thing to do is to confront it and hope that it is a misunderstanding.
