You have a strange feeling of discomfort with the other person. One of the first signs of a damaged relationship is a feeling you can’t put your finger on. You know something is wrong, but you just can’t describe it clearly. You know it isn’t good, but you’re not sure it’s bad. This is a warning signal. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should begin to repair your relationship with the person as soon as you get this feeling. You should pay attention, however, so your relationship doesn’t become worse.

You find yourself behaving differently toward the other person. Relationships affect our behavior. If you find that you’re behaving differently toward a person, it’s possible that your relationship has been injured.

The other person in the relationship behaves differently toward you. Think about the situation we just described. Imagine that the other person in the relationship suddenly decided not to have coffee with you anymore. How would you feel? The feeling probably wouldn’t be good.

Other people comment that something isn’t right between you and the other person in the relationship. Sometimes the people sharing a relationship aren’t very good at noticing that something is wrong. This happens when you’re too close to the situation. For example, parents sometimes don’t notice that their children are growing up. They see the children every day and don’t recognize the small changes that are happening. When a friend or relative comes along and comments, “My, how your son has grown,” the parents notice the changes. Relationships can become injured in the same way. Close friends might slowly drift apart because of a small problem. They might never notice the change in their relationship. When someone else asks whether something is wrong between the friends, they notice the problem themselves.
