Heading for Break-Up? Some Red Flags to look for

1- Emotional disappearing act. Are you being ignored? Is there emotional neglect? Tuning out? Bad body language like folded arms, ignoring you, no touching or affection.

2- Tit for tat fighting. Rather than each of you trying to mitigate problems, the mutual name calling evolves into throwing things, threats and worse. Emotional wounds take a long time to heal. The best cure is not allow yourself to get "hot." An angry person is usually unreasonable.

3- Take responsibility, quickly apologize and discuss both of you trying harder next time not to fight, but if it happens, remember to fight fairly. Simple changes in better communication skills and conversational tone can help keep the relationship in tact.
