Are You Already Single Again In Your Mind?
Most of us have been in a relationship where we both know that there's a problem. It's that in between time; not quite together and not quite broken up. However, neither party wants to be the first to admit they want out.
Though the two people involved will present a united front to the outside world. But internally; well, that's a whole other story because there almost anything goes, and it's kid of scary! Let's examine the inner turmoil.
While you're going through the "in between" stage, your detachment from your partner becomes greater and greater. As that distance lengthens, your thoughts change from one of being part of a couple to one of a single person.
Here are 3 signs to look for. If you notice these behaviors in yourself, it might be time to have an uncomfortable talk with your significant other, before you really start acting like a free agent.
1. You are looking at and thinking about other people
And you aren't just scoping for fun, either. If you're actually looking at people other than the one you're technically with and thinking about approaching them, fantasizing (even just briefly) about what it would be like to be with them instead, or even weighing your options with other people against what you already have; these are all pretty solid signs that you're mentally checking out of your current relationship.
If you spend considerably more time contemplating other potential love matches lately, it's not hard to deduce that you might not me satisfied with what you've got.
2. You crave time alone
A few years ago you'd have a bad day at work and come home to a lovely cuddle with your partner; it was the highlight of your day. Not anymore. Now the very thought of it is a sore point. It's become just one more thing you have to deal with. Instead, you're wishing for alone time.
I'm a big proponent of each partner having enough "me" time. Even the happiest of relationships benefit from it. If your lover's arms no longer offer you any comfort, then you have to ask yourself what you're doing there.
3. Your plans are only for you
There was a time, not too long ago, that thoughts of breaking up were the farthest thing from your mind. All your plans, whether they be immediate or more long term, included the two of you; smiling and happy.
Unfortunately, neither one of you is smiling right now. Your relationship has hit rough seas and your future as a couple looks shaky. If you've already contemplated ending things you might find that mentally at least, your partner has been erased from your plans. In which case your mind has already been made up for you.
