Code Blue Relationship: Is It Really Over?

Are you asking whether or not your relationship is really over? Perhaps you’ve reached the point where the sight of your lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or life partner irritates you? For no reason, (not anything you can put your finger on) you’re just irritated and find yourself wanting to slap the hell out of your honey? Don’t worry, don’t stress. It’s common.

Avoiding the Fact that Your Relationship is Really Over

There are things you can do to avoid hitting that brick wall and getting you and your ‘Amour” all lovey-dovey again.

Try spending some time apart, perhaps a long weekend with your buddies or favorite gal pals. Laugh a little, pamper yourself some, go fishing…. whatever, just come back refreshed. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and one often comes back with a new perspective.
