Most people have experienced the heartbreak of loving someone who just doesn’t love you back. Sometimes it’s complicated by the fact that at one time, they did have feelings for you, and you felt wonderful about the relationship. In other situations, maybe you are great friends, but they just don’t feel the same way about you. Sometimes things just don’t work out and you agree to end things. These are painful realities that can be difficult to accept and make it hard to move forward. The pain of a breakup or end to a relationship can seem unbearable and it can seem impossible to stop feeling that hurt.

A good night’s sleep is really important for optimal physical and mental health.
I worked as a sales associate in the children’s department of a big department store when I was in college. For the most part, it was an easy job that gave me a little time to study when the store wasn’t too busy. On some days things were quiet and mothers would shop while their kids sat on little stools in front of the Sesame Street display and watched the show. Other days were a little more hectic and it was on one of those days, a woman came into the store with a wrinkled bag and tossed it down on the counter. She immediately placed her hand on her hip and I noted the scowl on her face.
The beginning of a relationship is an exciting time. Discovering and getting to know each other can lead to developing a deeper connection of a longer term relationship. However, sometimes no matter how much you care about someone, or how much you want things to work out, the relationship just isn’t going anywhere. You may not feel like you are on the same page, or that you don’t seem to be growing together as a couple or as people. While this isn’t an exhaustive list, here are some of the signs that you are in a dead end relationship.
