Signs That Your Relationship is Doomed from the Start

Break-ups suck; there is no way around that. I’ve had guys stomp all over my heart, but heart-break isn’t caused by men alone. Women cause pain too and I know women who have done some pretty screwed up things to their boyfriends. One thing that has made dealing with break ups easier for me is being able to see the signs of a doomed relationship from the beginning. Hey, the Titanic still sank, but knowing the crash was imminent let them save a few people. Okay, that was a terrible analogy but that’s the idea.

Here are some signs that may tell you that your relationship is doomed.

Does your new love talk about their exes…and everything else?
Have you ever dated somebody that told you their life story ten minutes after meeting you? Gritty parts included? Did it last? Our pasts are what make us who we are, but there are details that are best kept hidden, for a while anyway. This is especially true if your new flame does nothing but talk about his or her past love life. If they tell you stories about their past exes and are constantly comparing you to them, run. At worst, you are their rebound; and if that’s the case, your relationship is doomed. We all need time to recover from our failed relationships but you don’t want to be a time filler. If it’s something you want to pursue and you think they are truly the one, you should give them time to get over their past relationship before you consider anything serious.

You have nothing in common
So you met a hot guy or girl at a bar and took them home. Congratulations, you’ve got game. But, you also have a doomed relationship. One night stands are just that, one night adventures. You shouldn’t be expecting a long lasting relationship from someone you took home the first night. Chances are, if you get into the physical part of a relationship before hitting on the other important parts of a relationship, you’ll find that you have nothing in common. There will be a day when the sex life dies down, and when that happens you may have nothing to talk about with each other.

Other Man or Women Syndrome
If they are cheating on you early in the relationship, get out of there. On the other hand, if you stole him or her from somebody else, chances are your relationship is doomed from the start. Your new flame thought nothing of screwing over their old lover to get to you, what makes you think you’re any different? Okay, you’re sexy, smart, and did I mention sexy? You’ve got that on the their old lover, right? Well always remember, there is always someone out there who is sexier and smarter than you. If your relationship was founded on dishonesty, there’s a good chance it may end in dishonesty.

He or she hates Your friends
Your friends are your friends for a reason. They may be ridiculous at times, but your new love should respect them at least. Of course, your friends should respect your new love as well. If there are any signs that your lover is trying to put distance between you and your friends, your relationship may be doomed. Of course, if your friends are meth dealers then your flame may have a point, but even in that case they would be trying to change you. Your lover should accept you for who you are, not for who they want you to be. Your friends are a part of who you are so if they can’t accept them then they can’t accept you. It doesn’t mean you are a bad person, you just aren’t the right person for them and vice versa.

If you are looking for something meaningful and you see any of these warning signs in your relationship, run. It may be difficult, but you will save yourself from future heartache.
