Together In Body, Single In Spirit?


We’ve all been there: that weird little limbo between “together” and “broken up”, when two people kind of know they have problems but are not yet at the point of wanting to admit that they want out.

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 three things to look for. If you recognize yourself in these, it’s time for a possibly uncomfortable talk with your partner. Do otherwise and you run the risk of actually acting like you’re a free agent before you become one.

1. You’re checking out other people

And the thing is, you’re not doing it just for fun. You’re checking out other people and thinking about what it would be like to approach them. You fantasize (albeit briefly) about how you’d be with them instead. You compare what you have with what you could have with this other person. All clear signs that you have mentally checked out of 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

Remember when you used to have a really hard day at work and your focus was getting home and cuddling with your partner? Now however, that’s just another “thing” on your to do list. It’s become something else you have to deal with. You’d rather just be alone.

Now I’m all for couples having separate time for themselves. I believe it recharges even the happiest relationships is each go their own way for small periods of time. If you cannot find comfort in your lover’s arms in times of stress, then you need to take a good hard look at what you’re still doing there.

3. Your plans are only for you

There was a time, not too long ago, that thoughts of breaking up were the farthest thing from your mind. All your plans, whether they be immediate or more long term, included the two of you; smiling and happy.

Once a relationship starts hitting some bumpy patches and you realize that, shock!, you are actually shakable, the future becomes a little less certain. And if things get really bad, to the point where you’ve gone back and forth contemplating ending things, you might find that you’ve mentally erased them from your plans. Maybe you didn’t even realize you were doing it. In cases like these, your subconscious has pretty much made up your mind for you.
