In most breakups, are there obvious signs noticed by both or does the partner who was broken up with feel it was out of the blue?

Like are there obvious signs of tension and it’s obvious to both partners that the relationship is clearly not working out or is it less obvious?

Like they’re planning future events and telling each other about how great the other is up until the last minute?

There are obvious tensions and the relationship is clearly not working out to both in most cases

In most cases, one partner feels blindsided and like the breakup came out of the blue

It can happen both ways , sometimes you can spot the signs that it’s over or sometimes it’s out of the blue and you have no clue , why it’s best to trust your gut instincts if you sense something is off in the relationship , when my ex started distancing herself from me and no longer made me her priority , I knew something was off , but I wasn’t 100 percent sure , so I just observed her actions and then I finally confronted her and said don’t think that I am not on to you , you clearly are onto no good. Or up to something , by how you been acting and treating me lately , So if you no longer want to be with me , there’s’ the door , don’t let it hit ya in the ass on the way out. Because every time I tried talking to you , you just ignore me , so I am going to do you a favor , i am ignoring you as well , so Get the fuck out of my life, and go be with your dyke girlfriend

It can be either. The partnership has been strained, with one or both unhappy but unwilling to end it, until one of them does. Or one partner can think it's going well, while the other partner was loving but thinking that they really wanted something else and weren't going to say. That's pretty awful behavior, to waste someone's time just to avoid being alone.

In most cases if both parties are attuned to each other you have a good idea it is coming one way or another

It should be obvious. If it is not to you, then you probably shouldn't be in any serious relationship.

Hey there! Breakups are like plot twists in a rom-com—sometimes you see them coming, and other times, bam! You're left with popcorn all over you. There are usually signs, but they can be as subtle as a whisper. Partners can usually feel the vibes change, like communication breakdowns, less quality time, or a shift in priorities. However, some people genuinely get blindsided if they're in the love bubble and overlook the red flags. It’s always good to check in with your partner to keep those love lines open. 😘

There are always signs, though the breakup may still be a surprise

I think in most cases, there are signs showing that it is inevitable. But not always of course. I remember there was a lady who I was dating in my late 30's and it was going very well. Out of the blue and unexpectedly, she broke it off. She gave me no reason. I was dumbfounded. Turns out that I knew a someone who knew her, and she said that she had reconciled with an ex-boyfriend and that is why she ended it.

Because their ideal or dream partner never showed up or someone else snagged them 🐠 🐟 fished them 🎣 🦦

Lol. Or they just - shrug - felt they could've done or deserved better, more 😉🥳

[mysteriousNicholas]

So ofc I voted A - ofc 👀 what human wouldn't say - I deserve/d better 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️💔

The second option because often, people lie and/or hide things.

I believe you're right, it usually feels like it was out of the blue.

[Asker]

Because one person didn’t notice the signs?

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly.

Women are passive aggressive and men are active aggressive. Those two are the mixture of fight

[OneViewpoint]

Yes to both possible outcomes.

I think it comes out of the blue.
