Not all relationships are guaranteed to last...even if you think
they are perfect. All you can do is keep an eye on your behaviors
as well as his to recognize-and fix-problem areas as soon as you
see them. The longer you wait to address them, the more difficult
they will be to repair.
Research
shows that the majority (96 percent) of breakups are initiated by
women. Although this statistic may seem comforting, for the women
who have been dumped, it is anything but.
In
retrospect, most people realize that the signs were there all along,
but chose to ignore them. The most significant sign was a "gut"
feeling that something was wrong. A person's gut is never wrong,
its purpose is for protection. So, whatever you feel it telling
you, you need to listen, even if your partner denies it.
Other
common signs include the following:
- Visiting
dating Web sites;
- Not
marry you within three years of dating;
- Being
secretive;
- Needing
more time and space away from you;
- Forgetting
important dates;
- Behaviors
do not follow words
- Continued
friendship with ex partners
- A
change in routine;
- Picking
fights about insignificant things;
- Spending
less time together;
- Going
out with friends more;
- Not
expressing love as often;
- A
sudden burst of devotion of love (this is usually a guilt response
to an upcoming breakup).

the unspoken is key to knowing how strong a relationship is. Learn
