hello i was wondering is there any signs we should all watch for to see if are girlfriends/boyfriends are going to dump us? Besides them being distanced and stuff. i was just wondering so i could watch for these signs if there is any!! THANKS

Heres a few,

 

Reduced physical contact,

Making excuses not to see you,

Any talk about "having a break" for a while,

Not being pro-active about contacting you.

 

I am sure there are many others that members have had experiences with.

Forget about signs and enjoy your time with him. (Remember that some people can be so deceptive that they would give off no signs in any case).

My thoughts are that if you think something is wrong, then have an honest and open discussion with the person

Wow - I couldn't imagine being in a relationship watching for SIGNS to see if they're going to break up with me...that would just ruin it for me. Anyway, if they're showing signs, like they don't want to see you, don't call you, break routine things, become distant, whatever...don't watch for it - don't even worry about it...cause you will know something is wrong when it happens.

For me, there were a few signs that were pretty glaring in retrospect. The most noticeable was the reduced physical contact. I literally did everything physical to her (kissing, massaging, hugs, etc). Also, before I drove up to visit her, I noticed she wasn't calling me anymore. She was always too tired to talk up until the point where we hadn't talked on the phone for 4 days.

 

If you do see these signs, I really think you should just talk about it. Like hawk said, open honest communication is the best solution. These "signs" are simply a manifestation of emotional detachment (or someone in the process of).

 

I believe that open communication and commitment can fix almost anything in a relationship. My ex did not. ;-)

 

Take care

Wanting to do stuff without you and with others is a pretty good sign, but as others have said the whole reduced physical contact thing - wether it's sexual or just contact is a pretty good one - my ex described it as feeling like I had become her "big brother".
