Relationship Breakup – Don’t Be Blindsided

Relationship breakup, what are the signs?  Are you worried that your relationship is getting ready to crash and burn?  Not sure what signs you should be on the lookout for?  No one likes to be blindsided. Being blindsided always results in pain whether physical or emotional. Even if your relationship ends, the pain will be a little less if you can see it coming and brace for impact. There are some signs that all may not be well on the home front, if you  keep your eyes open.

The first thing you need to remember is that we are usually pretty good at lying to ourselves. We are remarkably adept at keeping the blinders firmly in place if removing them would be to face certain pain. In the long run though you only do more harm than good by ignoring the inevitable.  It’s best to see things clearly, if you do you may actually have a chance to change the direction your relationship is taking and prevent the breakup.

Here are some signs that you need to keep an eye out for:

1. If you and your partner used to be joined at the hip but all of a sudden they seem to have a lot of more important things to do, you may be headed for a breakup. Of course, don’t be a twit and ignore the fact that they just got a promotion and they’re a lot busier at work. If they don’t have a reasonable excuse for their sudden absence you may want to sit them down and have a talk with them to try and figure out what is going on.

Make sure that you ask them what the problem is and not accuse them of anything. If you accuse them of something and they are just feeling a little down or overwhelmed you may just give them cause to end the relationship. Be careful to not come off defensively.  Stay calm and rational when you talk to them.

2. Does your ‘better half’ suddenly seem to need a lot of privacy? If their habits change and they become much more private it could be  a sign that they are talking to someone and they don’t want you to know. If they are suddenly leaving the room to talk on their cell phone, or they are taking their laptop into the other room, you may want to ask them, nicely, what’s going on.  If they say ‘nothing’ that might well be your answer since it’s obvious that their behavior has changed and if they don’t have a good reason why it could be that there isn’t a good reason.  Again, though, give them the benefit of the doubt. You’d look awfully stupid if you accused them of something when all they were doing was planning a great anniversary trip or surprise birthday party.

3. Sex, do you still have it as often as you once did? Is there a change in who initiates it? If your partner used to always want sex and suddenly they just don’t seem interested, it could be a sign that they have found someone else.  Of course, it could also be a sign that they’re tired, overwhelmed, depressed, etc.  Don’t jump to conclusions, just ask.

Many times the signs of a relationship breakup are pretty easy to spot, as long as you’re not so afraid to see them that you ignore them. By spotting them early you’ve got a much better shot at dealing with whatever the issues are before the actual breakup. You might just be able to save your relationship by keeping your eyes wide open.

10 Steps To Getting Back Together With Your Ex

Do you miss your ex?  Getting back together is possible.  You just have to know how to do it.

Every girl wants a guy who can understand and connect with her.  There are rules for pursuing a girl after a break up.  I’ll try to explain them in this article about how to deal with your ex.  Get back together with her using these 10 techniques.

1.)    Don’t be afraid to call her.  While calling ten times a day says you’re desperate, phoning once or twice a week keeps you on her radar.

2.)    Similarly, send her an email from time to time.  Just saying “what’s up?” gives her the opportunity to reconnect.

3.)    Don’t date other girls.  As long as you’re pining for her, be true to her.  If you do occasionally see another girl, don’t sleep with her if you ever want to get back together with your ex.  Get back together without creating a new “history” with other women.

4.)    Don’t forget her birthday.  A birthday is a great “excuse” to get back in touch.  Everyone likes to be remembered, celebrated, and even gifted on their birthday.  So, treat her like a princess on this day.

5.)    Analyze her.  Figure out what she needs in a man.  Be aware of what she says and does when she talks.  You need to understand your ex now more than ever before.

6.)    Don’t be jealous.  After you’ve broken up, you don’t have any claim on her.  So, don’t exhibit jealousy if she goes out with another guy.  Remember she is your ex.  Get back together means that you have to understand this basic principle.

7.)    Be on the lookout as to how she acts with other guys.  If she stands up for you when other guys put you down, it’s a good sign she’s still interested in you.  But, if she takes out the butcher knife and stabs you in the back, then there’s not much hope of getting back into a healthy, happy relationship.

8.)    Don’t play games.  When you’re broken up with someone you love, it’s easy to start the “mind games.”  But, you can damage her for life with this kind of behavior.  You don’t want to hurt her if you want to get back together.  So, just don’t play mind games.

9.)    Power is important.  Hold your cards close to your chest.  Relationships are difficult.  When you are together, you can communicate, but apart, you need to keep your feelings close to your vest.  When you say “I love you” to a girl you’ve broken up with, you’ve given away all of your power and she has you in a precarious position.

10.)    Be desirable.  During the break up, stay in shape or get back into shape.  Expand your interests.  In short, be the boyfriend she wants.  You already have a history.  If you are even more alluring this time around, she’s sure to want you back.

It is possible to reconcile with your ex.  Get back together using these 10 steps.
