- 1). THERE'S NO TIME!
If you or your boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse or significant other find time to spend with any and everyone besides each other, you are heading for the end of the road. If when asked you find excuses as to why it's pointless to make time for each other and simply hold out until it is no longer suggested, someone is one step closer to the front door. - 2). WHAT IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT?
If telephone, text and face-to-face conversations seem to be "strictly business" and are devoid of humor, laughter and kindness, you are nearing the final stage. If these forms of communication gradually lessen and neither party seems to care, you are both preparing for what life will be like without that regular interaction common in romantic relationships. - 3). I...
If saying, "I love you" becomes a chore or is avoided completely, your heart is controlling your words just like it did when you were in love and couldn't contain how much you once spoke those words to your lover. This time it's simply working in reverse by holding your tongue from spewing lies. - 4). I NEED MORE SPACE... ALL OF IT, IN FACT!
If you imagine how your life will improve after you've broken up and it is desired over keeping the status quo, those feelings are likely to grow and should not be ignored. For instance, if you find yourself thinking you'd appreciate the extra closet space, dresser drawer availability, smaller laundry loads, less dishes, and other small things that seem like they'd become perks once your lover is gone, it's almost time to move on. Those thoughts may start small but will grow exponentially, making no room for the man or woman in your life. - 5). I HOPE THE BEST FOR YOU!
If anger subsides and is replaced with hope for a better future for BOTH you and your spouse apart, you finally know that it is over. When you want the best for your soon to be ex, and there is no more animosity or feelings of ill will, you are at a place of no return and it is truly over between you two. Once you feel that you want for your partner what you want for yourself as separate entities and no longer as a couple, you have completely let go and are ready to live your life without him or her in it as you once were.
