A break up of a romantic relationship can truly be heart rending and frustrating. The symptoms of a break up are seen some time before it occurs, but generally people never perceive them before it is too late. Probably after the break up as you nurse your broken heart and you relive the memories of your relationship you are able to identify problems more clearly. This knowledge can be used to ensure that your future relationships are improved; it can also help you get back your ex.
Lack of physical intimacy is a definite signal that a love break up is round the corner. If your partner shows lack of interest in sex it means the relationship will soon end.
Physical intimacy also includes holding hands and putting an arm over the partner’s shoulder while watching a movie. If your partner is no longer touching you in public and not displaying signs of affection it again is a danger signal for your relationship.
If your partner shows discomfort at your touch it is high time that you both sat down and discussed any problems in your relationship.
If you find that your partner is lying to you then you can guess that you are moving towards a break up. Lies however small and insignificant they may be are damaging to the element of trust that is so important in a relationship.
However these signals may not necessarily be so serious as to lead to break ups. It is common to have phases in the relationship when there is lot of sex and times without much sex. So there is no need to be alarmed with this kind of flow of the relationship.
Again your partner may have moved away when you touched him/her due to several reasons not related to a love break up.
Your partner probably retracted from your touch as he/she was lost in their thoughts and you startled them.
He or she might have mistaken your touch as a signal to have sex especially when you are not demonstrate your affection except when you want to be intimate. Your partner might have moved away to communicate that he/she was not in the mood for sex. This does not mean your partner wants to break the relationship.
Your partner may have resisted your touch because he/she was mentally upset about something not concerned with you, at that time.
Such behavior from your partner that occurs once in a while need not be taken seriously. It may be a part of their character. But if these signals persist for a long time then you can be sure that your relationship is on the verge of a break up.
