When your relationship is over, there are some simple things you can do to start moving on
You’ve been in your relationship for quite some time. Things have changed recently, and you’re beginning to doubt that it’s going to last much longer. You’re not even sure how you got to this point! What happened?
Or maybe things have already ended and you’re trying to figure out what went wrong. You might be hoping to get back together with your ex. Or maybe you just want to figure out where things went sideways so you can be better prepared next time.
Either way, there may have been some signs.
Warning Signs
There are many warning signs that a relationship is breaking down. Think back over the last few months and you may recognize some of these signs:
- Unnecessary criticism. Your partner blames you or attacks your character.
- Contempt. Nearly everything your partner says is a complaint or an insult.
- Avoidance. Your partner has begun ignoring or avoiding you.
- Being defensive. You don’t listen to what your partner says for fear of being hurt or them lashing out at you again.
