People say some outrageous things to the people they love. On reflection, it’s never a good move, yet you are so close that you don’t mind telling the truth. Although the facts are important, the truth does hurt and couples break up as a result. On again, off again, on again, off again – the merry-go-round keeps turning and you’re at its center. As you age, the realization that you can’t wait forever hits home. Whether it’s a breakup or you’re on a break, it’s important to know so that you can move on with your life. Here are the signs it may not be temporary.
Life Happened
And not in the “our lives just aren’t compatible at the moment” sort of way. Yes, working nights while your partner goes in during the day means there isn’t much time for romance. In this case, taking a break may be the injection you need to refuel the relationship and get back on track. However, it’s different if life is passing you by and you’re both unhappy. Sure, a salvage job is possible, but you have to be proactive and see the signs early. Those that don’t end up resenting their other half, and that’s when it’s breakup city.
It Wasn’t The Heat Of The Moment
Plenty of couples have argued and then stormed out in a huff. It happens that often that it’s practically clichéd. Sometimes, people say things they regret and this is a sign that the relationship is on the rocks, yet not finished. When someone sits you down and asks to talk, it’s a little different. Sadly, it means they have thought about what they are saying and intend every word. It’s calculated and a clear sign that they want a fresh start. Sorry to break the news, but it’s over.
You Want To See Other People
Thoughts can get into your head, but your imagination is different than acting it out in real life. Wanting to get a bit of “strange” is a clear warning that you are unhappy. The same goes for your partner too, not that they’ll admit it out loud. Yes, it may be a huge mistake and only cement the fact that you love your ex more than anyone in the world. In that case, check this link for tips and advice. If you feel nothing but excitement, you’re moving onto a new chapter in your life.
There Is Radio Silence
When couples break up, there is an inevitable transition period. After spending weeks, months or even years talking every day, it’s difficult to stop. Continuing to interact never helps, but it feels like the right thing to do at the time. Honestly, it’s an indicator that you’re not ready to give up that person. Radio silence implies something different. The fact that you don’t want to talk is almost a sign that you are happy to be free. As a rule, free people never want to go back.
So, are you just on a break or is this the real thing?
