Relationships are full of surprises. But what if your boo has a boo that they’re getting married to and it’s not you? Check for these signs so they don’t catch you offside.

They become sweeter than usual

Once this starts to happen, it’s either they’re doing send-forth for you, or they’re trying to ease their guilt. Once they start being sweet in a way that’s out of character, jazz up.

They’re buying you gifts more often

It’s just consolation for the breakfast you’re about to receive. Think of them as your severance.

They start ghosting you for extended periods of time

Maybe they’re having some alone time with the love of their life. Or today’s their family introduction. Whichever one it is, you’re not in the picture.

They don’t talk about marriage with you

Obviously, they’re already planning to escape the relationship with somebody else. Open your eyes and ask for their hand in marriage straight up. They’ll probably serve you breakfast, but at least you won’t be caught off-guard.

They talk about marriage all the time

Let me just tell you; you’re their unofficial wedding planner. They’re basically using your ideas and imagination to plan their own wedding but you’re smiling at the thought of your opening dance. 

They start getting strange calls

Once they start getting calls from unknown numbers and the conversations sound serious, it’s obviously people calling them for stuff they need for their wedding. They’ll tell you it’s a work call but you should know better.

Their friends start calling you “our wife” or “our husband”

You’re definitely not their wife or husband. Pack your things and run, my friend. Because in two weeks, you’ll see these people on the internet posing as groomsmen or bridesmaids at your partner’s wedding and you won’t be there. Don’t lose guard.
