If a couple starts to notice unhealthy dynamics emerging in their relationship, seeking out therapy is a solid first step in healing these habits.
However, it's an unfortunate truth that, in spite of these efforts, not all partners may end up together in the end.
If you are a couples therapist, we want to learn about the early indications that separating might the fate of a couple who is seeking professional counseling.
Maybe you can predict a romance likely won't work out due to a clear lack of trust between partners that shows up immediately.
Perhaps one party's minimal effort in carrying their weight tells you early on that the relationship probably can't survive.
Or, it could just be obvious to you right away that the two don't have similar enough values or goals to keep up their union.
Whatever the hints may be, we want to know! Couples therapists, please tell us the first signs you notice that signal to you a relationship won't last. Your response could be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post!
