It can get frustrating when your partner gives mixed signals especially when they are about to break up with you. This may be no fault of theirs. There could be an underlining reason of not knowing how to say the two dreadful words, “It’s over.” 

Maybe they are too nice to break your heart. This is ironic because delaying the inevitable is only doing more damage than good. But there are those who just bid their time until they can be better off without you. That’s as unfair as it seems. 

Waiting to be ready so you can shoot someone in the heart is only the meanest route ever. It’s also selfish to think of themselves first before they do about you. This is why we will nip the issue in the bud. Check out the signs your partner gives when they are about to break up with you.

1. Your future becomes bleak

You don’t seem to talk about future plans together anymore. Even when you raise the issue, your partner is either avoiding the question or answering bleakly. 

2. They avoid spending time with you

Now you are probably going to start palpitating because the COVID-19 pandemic has set people apart. But where partners are concerned it shouldn’t be that bad. There are several date ideas you should be able explore as a duo. However, if your partner keeps making excuses for why you should hangout, then yes, you can palpitate. You should be your partner’s priority and when that is nonexistent then it’s time to accept that things are probably about to end.

3. Petty fights

This is a vital warning sign. When they finally show up, things aren’t rosy. There is always something silly you fight about and your partner orchestrates them. The logic behind this is to push you to be the one to break the relationship instead of taking the blame. Sometimes, someone who picks petty fights with you may be bordering on being toxic. 

4. You feel alone in their presence

There’s nothing worse that the feeling of loneliness when you’re in a relationship. When you’re around them, you can’t help but feel they weren’t even there. They may check their phone, increase the volume of the TV or just pretend to be busy to avoid having a conversation.

5. Selectively tell you things

Prior to this stage of your relationship, you used to share the minutest things, however, now they seem to withhold information from you. It always seems like you’re pushing too hard or being a pest when you ask the simplest things of them. 

6. Your gut

In all of this, you already feel in your guts that things aren’t right. Sometimes it takes the above five signs for you to get that “Aha” moment. If you have been feeling in your guts that something is off, it’s time to have a sit down with your partner and address the matter at hand.
