Exactly. Doesn’t have to mean their ready to break up with you, it could just be that they are overwhelmed with work, or having health problems, anxiety over money, not sleeping well, worrying about a family member, feeling depressed etc.

The real LPT is paying attention to your partner. If they seem off, like more tired, sore, cranky, more emotional, check in with them to see what you can do to help, even if it’s just being a shoulder to cry on or listening to them vent about situation out of everyone’s control.

That’s part of being a good partner.
