![]() I recently read that states that most people in long-term relationships think about breaking up for a really long time before they actually go through with it. I have to admit, this kind of freaked me out. Who wants to date someone who’s secretly considering ending things? Um, no one, that’s who. If you’re worried that your boyfriend (or girlfriend) may be feeling this way and is just unwilling to end the relationship, I’ve put together some things you should be looking out for. While I don’t want you girls getting crazy over this list (if one thing applies to your BF, please don’t assume it’s over), it’s important to realize that there are some tell-tale signs to watch for if you’re worried about your relationship ending. Take a look at these 8 signs that your boyfriend may want to break up with you. Then, please, talk to him. My boy friend and I we don’t have any fight just a little miscommunication. But he was really sick. He called me say he is gling to hospital and he waa admit to ICU for couple days. He text me back and call me, he say he was miss and love me. After i talk to him next day I never heard again almost a week. So i dont know if he was in bad condition or ignoring. If she were to change my mind about breaking up with her, I would want her to perhaps behave a little better, fix some problems and most of all fix 'our' problems. So I would say that both of you try to fix what's wrong with your relationship. Don't tear a house down because a lightbulb is broken, change the lightbulb instead.

Hi Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 and a half years and when I first met him he was so sweet and funny and loving. But now its terrible Every time I talk to him about things he just sits there an watches cartoons and he just stopped listening to me and doing things with me.

It is a rocky relationship for sure plus now I’m expecting. I could probably reply to many of the topics of this site with my version of what I’ve been going through. Anyway, if he was already acting obnoxious for no real reason to you, why would you buy him such a big item such as a vehicle? Was he talking to you when you brought up the idea? Wanted to be touched then until the deal went through?? Something is definitely up with your guy. Having a real talk about what is going on is definitely needed. I hope within the month of this post that you two were able to figure out what’s lacking/missing in the relationship. Im sorry, i know its hard to lose someone we love. Especially a partner we commit to because after 2 years you think of your future and imagine it that way with them. But honestly you need to feel the pain of the break up and accept it. Some men can use a woman and even if she is the most amazing woman in the world, after a while they just get tired of us. I know its hard but it gets easier with time. Remember that there are people out there who will appreciate all you do for them. Stay strong 🙂. « Previous 1 Is there anything quite as frustrating watching a friend in a relationship that’s clearly in free-fall? You know damn good and well that he or she needs to detach themselves from the emotional barnacle that is their significant other, but for whatever reason they’re absolutely determined to ride that sucker into the ground? Now imagine how your friends feel when they’re watching you holding on to that toxic relationship for dear life. Whether you genuinely can’t see the toll that your failing coupledom is taking on your life or you simply can’t believe that you could sometimes you find that you’re an emotional Slim Pickens, riding the A-bomb of their love straight into the Russian steppes that is your relationship and bringing nothing but devastation in your wake. We can still make this work!' Hey, if that sounds like you, don’t beat yourself up. We’ve all been there. I’ve had one particularly toxic relationship in college that endured for two years between when I realized it needed to end and when I finally broke it off. But when I finally did The only way I can think to describe it is akin to the day I quit the worst job I ever had – doing tech-support for a notable cell-phone company. I was absolutely convinced that the job was draining the life out of me and after one particularly trying day that involved a bomb-threat, I finally stood up, threw down my headset, told my supervisor that he could kiss my ass and I was giving my notice and walked out the door. The feeling of freedom that overcame me, like I had just shrugged off a massive weight that I hadn’t realized I was carrying almost set me to tears. Breaking up with my toxic girlfriend? Kinda like that only better. If I had known then what I know now, I would never have waited so long especially since I would have been able to recognized the signs that it was long past time to break up. Of course, sometimes it’s easy to mis-read the signs. Just as there’s nothing as soul-killing as being stuck in a relationship gone bad, you don’t want to make the mistake of ending a perfectly healthy relationship just because you mistook the usual ups and downs of every relationship. So let’s look at five signs that it’s time to break up and when it’s not. #5: Your Lives Are Going In Different Directions One of the best parts of a relationship is building your future together. In an ideal world, this person is your partner-in-crime, the person who you know you’re going to love even when the two of you are broken down and decrepit and you’re having to change their adult diapers. Over time however, you realize that you both have incredibly divergent ideas of what your future entails. You’re excited to pick out the names of your future children but she’s realizing that she doesn’t want kids. You’re a driven, ambitious professional and he can’t be bothered to look for work because he’s needs the time to “work on his music”. Or “write his novel.” Or any number of excuses. They seemed plausible – even charming – when you first started but now you’re worried that you’ve tethered yourself to a slacker who’s going to be holding you back. It needn’t be as dramatic as fights over having children or how many. It could be as simple as where the two of you will live, or your where you are with your careers. Where are the two of you going to live: the big city? A house in the middle of nowhere? Are you willing – or able, for that matter – to pull up stakes if your significant other gets an offer for her dream job that requires moving across the country? Or worse: half-way around the globe? Everyone’s familiar with the idea that opposites attract, but in reality, if you’re too different, it’s going to end up being a massive strain on your relationship. As much as you may even genuinely love each other, the cold hard fact is that sometimes being in love just isn’t enough to make a relationship work. When It’s Not: The younger you are, the easier it is to be flexible. The life you imagine for yourself – especially when you’re still in college or fresh out in the world – isn’t necessarily the one that you’ll actually want, or even end up in. In fact, there will be plenty of times that you’ll find that your expectations and dreams have changed and you’re holding onto those old dreams out of habit or nostalgia. Before you pull the trigger, you need to take some time to think about just how firmly you’re committed to your current life and whether you’re willing to make some sacrifices in the name of your relationship. #4: You’re A Different Person When You’re With Them One of the earliest signs that my college relationship had gone bad came during the summer before I graduated. By necessity, our relationship was temporarily; we lived a good 3000 miles away from each other, so we wouldn’t be seeing much of each other until the fall rolled back around. Since this was before the days of Skype, ubiquitous cellphones with nationwide minute plans and widely available broadband connections, we were reduced to e-mail, instant messages and long-distance phone calls that threatened to plunge us into bankruptcy. One day, some old friends and I were hanging out at my house getting caught up when my girlfriend at the time called. I picked up the phone and my friends quietly left the room to let me have some privacy. After thirty minutes – at least ten of which were spent saying “Babe, I have to go. My friends are here. I have to go. I have to go. ” – one of my friends poked his head through the door. “That was $NAME, wasn’t it?” he asked. “Yeah, how’d you know?” I replied, curious. “Because every time she calls, the life drains right out of you,” he said. 'Sorry, I have to take this. It's my emotional vampire. I mean, my girlfriend.' At the time, I dismissed him but he was right. And he wasn’t the only person who noticed. My mother, my brother, my friends in college all of them saw the profound difference in my attitude, outlook and even my body language when I was with her versus when I was away from her, even for a few hours. I was literally the only person who didn’t see it. And that should have been a warning sign. It can be hard to tell how much we change when we shift between our social circles. We frequently lack the perspective to see the differences. Sometimes it’s as simple as feeling drained when you’re with them and feeling energized when you’re with the rest of your friends. Sometimes it’s a subtle shift between being a dynamic, assertive person when you’re away from your significant other and becoming a submissive beta when you’re with them, afraid to take a stand for fear of provoking another fight. It’s natural that you’re going to behave slightly differently depending on who you’re hanging out with. But night and day changes are a sign of trouble. Now don’t get me wrong: your relationship isn’t a democracy, and your family and friends don’t get ultimate veto power over who you date. But when all of your friends are pointing out how sad or upset you seem whenever you’re with your girlfriend it’s time to start thinking of getting out. When It’s Not: Consider the numbers and sources. Is it just all of your friends or just a couple of them? Are your friends jealous that your relationship is taking you away from them, or are they genuinely concerned for your welfare? Is the problem that you’re not as willing to indulge in juvenile or even hazardous behavior ever since you started dating your current partner? There are times when you realize that your friendships are what have turned toxic, not your relationship with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Sometimes your boyfriend has a legitimate reason to hate your friends. #3) You Fight Wrong. Every relationship has it’s moments of friction and conflict to be sure. But when you guys fight, you fight. I’m not talking about resentful silence on the drive home or the occasional blow-up or even the long-standing Topics Which You Do Not Discuss. I mean the old-fashioned knock-down, drag out screaming matches that seemingly spring up out of nowhere. The little jibes and teases you used to trade back and forth aren’t flirty anymore; they’re the opening salvos in the coming war. You fight over everything and when you do, you both fight dirty. Nothing is off limits; you’ll both drag up incidents from the past that you had thought were long behind you and you both aim deliberately for each other’s weak spots. You know he’s sensitive about his weight. He knows you’re embarrassed by your sexual past. You’ll threaten to leave her there and go home. She threatens to fuck someone else in revenge. It doesn’t matter what the latest inciting incident was; now it’s just another in a long string of triggers. You don’t make up so much as reach an uneasy detente. You may make your (temporary) peace and resolve to make things better but you both know that resentment is still there, bubbling under the surface and just waiting to erupt again and no amount of make-up sex is going to fix things. 'I'd murder you in your sleep if I thought I could get away with it!' 'I hate your mother!' It’s one thing to have a fight – they happen, no matter how “perfect” the relationship is. It’s another when what you’re fighting about isn’t really what you’re fighting about. When you’re fighting wrong – when you’re not listening to the underlying meaning of what the two of you are saying, when you’re both using past mistakes that you’ve supposedly forgiven as weapons – the issue frequently isn’t the subject of the fight. The issue is the two of you. And it’s a sign that it’s time to drop the hammer on your relationship and get out. When It’s Not: Fighting in and of itself isn’t a sign that something’s wrong with a relationship, nor is never fighting a sign that everything’s perfect. Sometimes fighting can be the results of two passionate people in a relationship. Sometimes it’s a legitimate airing of grievances. As long as you’re fighting fairly – you’re sticking to the issue at hand, you’re taking care not to deliberately hurt each other’s feelings, you’re taking the time to be aware that what you’re saying may not be what she’s hearing – fights aren’t a sign that the end is nigh. They’re just signs that there is something the two of you need to work out.
