Break-up coach reveals three clear signs that mean a relationship is over

A break-up coach has revealed that there are three key signs that indicate your relationship is 'heading for disaster'.

Many of us have been in a dire situation where you start looking back at your relationship and seeing where you stand in it, how you've been treated and whether there is anything left for you. Yet, people still opt to stay in dead relationships for the familiarity if nothing more.

Now, relationship expert Paige Moyce has taken to TikTok to share with her nearly 400,000 followers (at the time of writing) the indicators that reveal to her whether a romance is over.

The Brit has been healing former lovers through their break-up traumas through dedicated practises that team together neuroscience and holistic psychology, and in that time she's developed an understanding of the signs that a relationship is doomed.

Anxious over communicating

"Number one, if your communication is designed to avoid arguments, conflict, silent treatment, blow ups, big reactions, etc... this is a recipe for disaster," she shared.

Moyce explained that if you have to be mindful of what you say and how you say it, and get anxious feeling like you're walking on eggshells due to the way it will be received, 'this is not healthy in the absolute slightest, and it is like burying a bomb'.

"What we end up doing is burying our feelings, burying what's important to us, burying our needs, because we're just so petrified of this person leaving or their reaction.

"How long is this sustainable for depends how long you want to cling onto barbed wire and bleed, but ultimately, if you are having to self edit and audit yourself to that point to try and keep this person happy, this relationship is heading to disaster."

If you could leave, would you?

What Moyce does with her clients is talk them through whether they are ready to leave their partner, or if they should stick around, with the help of 'psychological clarity' - with her method including drawing up an imaginative map to leave.

She continued: "If there was a magic wand and there was no consequence, and you didn't have to worry about anything or anyone, and you could leave and you could be happy outside of this relationship, would you do it?

"If the answer is yes, then you're probably already exhausted. You're probably that person that's already tried to fix this 400 million times, and the reality is, nothing changes time and time again.

"Everyone has a tipping point, and when you reach that tipping point in your relationship, it's very, very hard to come back when there are catalogs of things that you are just expected to get over and not talk about. It is a recipe for disaster."

Intimacy is emotionally and physically dead

"Number three, there's no warmth in the relationship anymore," the therapist explains.

"Now this could look like physical intimacy, this could look like emotional intimacy. This could look like trust. This could look like being able to be vulnerable, but there isn't that warmth in the relationship anymore.

"There isn't that teamwork, there isn't that togetherness that perhaps there once was, no matter how much you try to fight for that it just feels like this person is not meeting you halfway."

It is a sign that the relationship is over, Moyce explains, that's because it takes two people to reignite that spark, and without it you're likely in a healthy relationship 'that is not sustainable'.
