Action Sammy’s Dating Tips: Signs That Your Lover Wants Out

Ways to detect ahead of time that your partner is ready to call it quits.

Breaking up is one of the hardest things to do and therefore, many of us don’t know how to deliver the news to an unsuspecting partner that we’re ready to move on. So we usually look for non-verbal ways to say it hoping that it will not only make it easy to say it but it’ll also lessen the impact on the partner we’re trying to ditch.

Before I go on, however, I would like to say that this route towards ending a relationship has a few disadvantages. The partner who is about to be jilted may fail to notice any immediate warning signs or will probably notice the signs but will be hesitant to heed them. Many partners have been known to notice the warning signs but will deny the inevitable. If that happens, you could be giving warning signs for a long time. But, nobody wants to be a heartbreaker. Many of us don’t want to be the one to end the relationship and leave someone else hurt. Instead, we try to find ways to make the partner want to ditch us.

So, here are some signs that your partner is trying to tell you that it’s bye-bye time:

  1. Perhaps the most noticeable sign is the change in their sexual appetite. They either start wanting it less or they’re either somewhat or very unresponsive during lovemaking. True enough, there could be other reasons for the change in sexual appetite such as stress at work or some family problems but if they tend to be rather hush as why their sexual appetite has changed and it becomes more consistent then he/she is most likely trying to tell you something else.
  2. Hesitant about breaking a date, they’ll usually wait until the last minute to either email you or send you a text message to cancel. They usually won’t call to talk to you directly.
  3. Since they’re losing enthusiasm in the relationship and their interest in you is fading, they begin talking less when together.
  4. They start calling infrequently. Additionally, they will be slow to return phone calls and emails. When you ask them why they haven’t been calling you they simply say that they were busy to avoid being put on the spot.
  5. If other signs aren’t working well they will be noticeably irritated more often for no apparent reason. Being with you is beginning to stress them out so they are now irritated by your company.
  6. The affection is starting to disappear. While its true that many people start losing the desire for affection after being together for a while a lover who wants out of a relationship or marriage will usually stop being affectionate suddenly instead gradually.
  7. Short of being unfaithful, they start doing things that they know full well will upset you. For instance, if they had stopped smoking around you in the beginning of the relationship they’ll start smoking around you again. Another tactic they’ll try is frequently showing up for dates or another plans very late with little or no explanation.
  8. They’ll start looking at you less when together, trying their best to avoid eye contact. Since they no longer want to be with you they no longer want to look at you. This is usually in conjunction with talking to you less.

    Sometimes, you just can’t help the way you feel. I once dated a woman who was really great, seemed to think the world of me but unfortunately, I didn’t feel the same way about her. It was just as painful for me as it was for her when I told her that it’s over but I eventually got over. Am I right in assuming that when you first met your boyfriend you fell head over hills for him quickly and then the passion slowly began disappearing as you got to know him better? I believe that’s what happened in my case….I fell for her charm real quickly but as I got to know the real her my love began vanishing as I realized that she wasn’t Mrs. Right after all. For lack of a better way to put it, good luck on finding someway to end your relationship the least painful way.
