Together In Body, Single In Spirit?
Have you ever been in a relationship where you're in limbo? Not quite "together" but not yet "broken up"? It's a not very fun in between time and neither of you wants to be the first to admit that the relationship is over.
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
Not only that, you're actually fantasizing about what it would be like to approach them. And what it would be like to be with them instead. You're checking what your options are with others. All of these thoughts are pretty clear indicators that the ship has sailed on your current relationship.
Let's face it; if you spend more time contemplating "what if" with other potential mates it's not a stretch to deduce that you aren't satisfied with what you have.
2. You'd rather be 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 fan of always having adequate alone time, even in the happiest of romantic situations, but if you find that your comfort no longer is in the arms of your lover, you might want to reconsider what you're still doing there.
3. Your plans are only for you
There used to be a time, when your relationship was still magical, that breaking up never even entered into your thoughts. All your plans, immediate ones and those for the future, included your significant other. And you were both smiling and happy.
But now your relationship has hit a pothole. You realize that as a couple you actually are breakable and your future is looking less and less certain. If you've reached the point of no return, then any plans you're making now are probably just for you, and don't include your partner. If that's the case, your mind has been made up for you.
