Every break-up has warning signs. Find out exactly what your guy is thinking.
By Ryan Alphonso — Written on Sep 08, 2016
Nobody likes breaking up, but at times, it's necessary. Sometimes two people just aren't compatible. It's nobody's fault, that's just the way things worked out.
And every breakup is different. Some couples manage to end things peacefully, whereas others find themselves throwing precious, fragile furniture across the room, screaming profanities in each other's direction. But whether loud or soft, amicable or malicious, every break-up has warning signs beforehand.
Did you stop sleeping together? Have you stopped saying, "I love you?" Do you have nothing to talk about, or want to hang out with — or worse ... DATE — other people? Whatever it is, it's a sign that trouble is approaching. But this trouble is predictable. He's probably going to break up with you.
Avoid the heartbreak and stay on your toes if you feel the impending doom of a dying relationship. Don't leave it up to chance ... pay ATTENTION! And the best way to pay attention? By learning just exactly which heartbreaking way he's going to break up with you, based on his zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Headstrong and pulling no punches, Aries men will flat out tell you how it is with little-to-no remorse. In all honesty, they got bored, and they’ll let you know that.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It’s a rare Taurus man to be the one to instigate a break-up. Taurus men are notorious for, once starting a project, working on it until its end. This includes relationships.
These guys are devoted and committed, so the true heartbreak is the fact that you two are even breaking up at all. Once he makes up his mind, though, there's no changing it. Even if you both come to regret the breakup later, there's no getting him back.

The Gemini man will prolong a break-up, making it that much harder to get over him afterwards. He’ll probably be the guy to text you sometime after saying how sorry he is, or how he wants to talk things over.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
He’s going to cry. It’s almost a guaranteed fact. It’s not going to be pretty and there’s a solid chance he’s going to sob his way through his break-up speech.
The heartbreaking part is two-fold here. First, it’s hard to see someone you care for in so much pain. Cancer men wear their hearts on their sleeves and express when they’re feeling strong emotions.
Second, it’s heartbreaking to see him breakdown like this (for some guys, it may even be a little pathetic…) It shouldn’t be frowned upon for men to show emotion, but Cancer guys can take it a bit far sometimes. If you feel a break-up approaching with a Cancer, stock up on Kleenex.

Their pride is of the utmost importance to them, so they’ll allow nothing to tarnish it, including you. If he’s breaking up with you, he’ll do it in public, because heaven forbid you cry, yell, retaliate, or anything else to sully his perfect persona. Leo men are smart, and at times, manipulative. Stay on your toes with them.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
An Aquarius man will have ZERO emotion through this break-up. He’s bored, he’s over it, and there’s a good chance he really doesn’t care whether or not it’ll hurt you. He’s thought about this long and hard and he’s crunched the numbers. The result? He’s ready to move on.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
“It’s not you, it’s me!” is the classic line for a Pisces in a break-up scenario. Warm-hearted and eager to please, a Pisces hates the fact that he knows he’s going to hurt your (and potentially his own) feelings. He’ll do and say anything (almost to the point of redundant annoyance) to let you know that you’re not the one at fault.
But it’s not for your benefit; it’s for his. It’s to make himself feel better about his actions. Take a Pisces’ words with a grain of salt in these situations, most likely, he just wants to sleep a little better at night.
