Dating coach reveals 5 signs your relationship is likely over

Don't worry, just because you clicked on this article it doesn't mean your relationship is over.

But according a dating expert, there are five signs that are worth keeping an eye on.

'Relationship and break up' specialist Paige Moyce provides a combo of 'neuroscience' and 'holistic psychology' techniques to her clients to help them successfully move on from their toxic partners.

Having racked up a following on social media, in her recent video she has opened up on the reasons why you shouldn't stick around in a relationship.

1) Staying together for the wrong reasons

If you're staying in a relationship for reasons other than happiness, then this could be a bad sign.

"Maybe you're staying for the kids, maybe you're staying because you fear being alone or you don't want them with anyone else," she explained on her TikTok page (@paigemoyce).

"Maybe you're staying because you are scared of what it would look like to leave, or you don't want to hurt that person."

Happens should come first, the expert says.

2) When communication turns into conflict

This is when trying to have a normal talk regularly transitions into an argument.

Paige said: "All this does is drive a bigger and larger wedge between you and this person. If our needs are not being met, then how long is this relationship going to last for?"

3) Loneliness

If you feel like you're fighting a battle all on your own, then this could be a sign that your relationship might be coming to an end.

"Just because we are physically with someone, doesn't mean we are emotionally with them. If you're honest, when was the last time you felt special in this relationship?" Paige adds.

"When was the last time you felt valued?"

4) Selflessness

Being selfless is one of the more admirable qualities, however, if this becomes too much of a regular occurrence then there's a chance you're forgetting the most important person - you.

"You have put this person before you so many times that it is now normal to do so, but now you don't know what you want," Paige said.

"Because you have prioritised the other person, you are now left wondering what it is that you want, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed."

5) Magic wand opportunity

If someone gave you a magic wand and your relationship would be over with no fuss, would you do it?

"If someone could guarantee that you could get through it, that it wouldn't be hell, that you would be happy again, that you would meet someone else and that would be confident again, you would take it," the expert concludes.
