Breakup coach reveals the three biggest signs your relationship is already ‘over’

We’ve all had those moments where we look at our relationship and wonder: “Is this really working?” Many of us stick around for the familiarity, even when things feel off.

Break-up coach Paige Moyce has shared with her 400,000 TikTok followers the key signs a relationship is likely doomed. Using her experience combining neuroscience and holistic psychology (impressive), she’s spotted the warning signs that things are about to go south.

1. Anxious over-communicating

Paige explains that if your communication revolves around avoiding arguments, conflict, or emotional blow-ups, your relationship is in trouble.

“If you have to be mindful of what you say and how you say it, and get anxious feeling like you’re walking on eggshells due to the way it will be received, this is not healthy in the absolute slightest. It is like burying a bomb.”

This leads people to bury their feelings and needs just to keep their partner happy.

“How long is this sustainable? How long do you want to cling onto barbed wire and bleed? If you are having to self-edit and audit yourself to that point, this relationship is heading to disaster.”

2. If you could leave, would you?

Paige asks her clients to imagine a scenario where they could leave their partner with no consequences.

“If there was a magic wand and you didn’t have to worry about anything or anyone, and you could leave and be happy outside of this relationship, would you do it?”

If the answer is yes, it often means you’re already emotionally checked out.

Moyce says: “You’re probably that person who has tried to fix this 400 million times, and nothing changes. Everyone has a tipping point. When you reach it, it’s very hard to come back when there are catalogs of things you’re expected to get over and not talk about. It is a recipe for disaster.”

3. Intimacy is emotionally and physically dead

Finally, Paige highlights the absence of warmth in a relationship – whether emotional, physical, or both, yikes.

“Now this could look like physical intimacy, emotional intimacy, trust, or vulnerability. But there isn’t that warmth in the relationship anymore.”

Without teamwork and effort from both sides, Paige says the relationship is unlikely to survive.

“There isn’t that togetherness that perhaps there once was. No matter how much you try to fight for it, it just feels like this person is not meeting you halfway. It is a sign the relationship is over because it takes two people to reignite that spark,” she said. 

Relationships are complicated, but recognizing these signs early can save you from heartbreak. As Paige’s advice shows, sometimes it’s not about fixing love, it’s about knowing when to walk away.
