Stop A Breakup
Much of this website is devoted to helping couples who have just experienced or are currently enduring a breakup.
Of course a far better outcome is if you can stop a breakup from ever happening in the first place. So how do you stop a breakup from occurring? Few breakups occur in isolation, there are generally always causative factors that influence one partner’s decision to breakup with the other.
Of course if we can identify these factors and in turn deal with them, then potentially we can stop a breakup from ever having to occur. Human nature being what it is we often tend to ignore the warning signs that these factors create. People often say they never saw a breakup coming but the reality is people on the verge of a breakup, follow quite predictable behavioral patterns. If you can follow these patterns then you have a chance to respond prior to a breakup occurring.
Some danger signs to look out for:
Avoidance: perhaps your partner is not answering telephone calls or texts. Maybe they are constantly busy and unable to spend any time with you. Whatever the excuse it is a definite danger sign when your partner is avoiding communicating with you or spending any quality time with you.
Defensiveness: if you partner seems overly defensive about their whereabouts or activities. Even perhaps openly lying to you about what they’re doing. This is also sometimes an indication of an affair.
Argumentative: If your partner is constantly spoiling for a fight or perhaps hyper critical of everything you do. Many times in the lead up to a breakup, there is a pattern of a series of escalating arguments.
Lack of intimacy: if your partner is demonstrating a distinct lack of interest in the sexual aspect of your relationship.
