When you think of a breakup, you may think of weeks of screaming at each other, cheating, lying, and pretty much every other obvious sign you aren't meant for each other.
Sometimes, these signs aren't even there. There may be underlying signs that have been there for a while until it all bubbles up and, BOOM, the breakup happens.
Here are 11 subtle signs your relationship is headed for a breakup:
1. When your S.O.'s name pops up on your phone you feel like groaning.
Throughout your relationship, you would get butterflies when your S.O's name came on your phone. You would be dying to talk to them and tell them all about your day. If it feels like a chore, it might be time to revaluate the relationship.
2. If you live together, you find yourself hoping they aren't home when you get there.
Coming home to your S.O. at the end of every day should be rewarding and exciting. You need to be comfortable in your own living space.
3. You stop wanting to spend time together.
You don't need to spend every waking moment together, but when it seems more like more of a task to take time out of your day that isn't okay.
4. FaceTimes and phone calls become nonexistent.
And if they are existent, the love isn't there and they seem distracted.
5. When you are hanging out, you are checking the time and figuring out when you should leave.
Before, time would fly by and you would be wishing you had more time.
6. Going out on a date seems like a hassle more than an actual treat.
Date nights are rare in busy lives, but when planning them isn't exciting anymore it usually isn't a good sign.
7. When you look into the future you don't see them in it.
You had all your kids names picked out and now you can't even see the relationship getting through the next month.
8. The time between talking to each other increases.
You find yourself forgetting that you haven't talked in a while. And it doesn't necessarily bother you.
9. They irritate you more.
Just their face could bring out anger you didn't know you had.
10. The quirks you once found endearing are now annoying.
Remember the way he'd easily fall asleep in your arms and how it made you feel all gooey inside? Yeah, now it's like he's never awake when you're around.
11. When they stop doing the little things that once put a smile on your face.
No more random "you're beautiful" comments or spontaneous trips to your favorite places in town.
