What are the signs of a breakup, bachche? I’m sure you’ve asked yourself this question many times, especially after a fight with your partner. So, I decided to put an end to your misery and answer this question once and for all. A breakup is only sudden when you don’t expect it but with this breakup guide, you can spot the signs like an expert and break up with that kitanu before they break up with you. Here are the five definite signs that a breakup is coming your way.

They always sound hurried or exasperated when you call

That is if they answer your call. Kisi ke paas itna kaam nahi hota, bachche, that they can’t talk to a loved one for five minutes in a day. NASA astronauts also call home from space, toh yeh kaunse chaand pe jhande gaadne jaa rahe hain?

They stop including you in plans with friends

The excuses can vary. “Boys/girls scene hai. You’ll feel out of place” and then you see a mixed crowd in their friends’ stories or “I just have to show my face, it’ll be boring” and then you see stories of them partying till 6am. All without telling you. They can also stop hanging out with your friends and get out of plans that include them. If this happens, ask your friends what they think and you will probably get the answer you need to hear.

You stop getting drunk texts

Drunk texts between a couple are the sign of a happy relationship, bachche. And generally, drunk texters never change, so if you’re not getting nonsensical messages at 1am every weekend, someone else is. Watch for a while and if you think this has become a pattern, ask your partner why they suddenly hate you.

They keep making excuses to not meet you

This should be a no-brainer but some of you tend to stop thinking when you’re in love. If they are making excuses to not meet you, and this has happened a few times now, it’s best that you initiate the breakup. Aise insaan ke saath kya rehna who doesn’t even have time to meet you. Even if it’s a genuine reason, who cares? Your time is too precious to waste it thinking about someone who is too busy for you.

They make no plans for the future

And if they do talk about the future, you have to force yourself into those plans. If your partner is serious about your relationship, your presence in their plans should be a default setting. All thoughts should start with “We”, not “I”. If you love them, set them free. And if they come back, set them free again because you, bachche, are a priority, not a second thought.

Look out for these signs of a breakup to protect yourself, beta ji. Even if you’ve been together for years, you should always be prepared to be the first one to break up. Ego bhi koi cheez hoti hai.
