Your body may know better than you do"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From UTI\u2019s to fatigue, there are many different signs that you may be with the wrong person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People often have a strong sense of intuition, sometimes referred to as a \u2018gut feeling\u2019.&nbsp; These feelings are often triggered when the body picks up on subtle signs that you may not even register.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But can you tell whether your partner is \u2018the one\u2019 based on body signals alone?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darcy, 21, from Manchester, who is using a pseudonym, told us her experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I was with my ex-boyfriend, I started to get recurrent thrush, which I guess was my first sign. I don\u2019t know if this was my body rejecting him, but if not then it was certainly a big coincidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTowards the end of our relationship I found it really difficult to get aroused or excited for sex, my body just didn\u2019t seem to work as well as it used to and I didn\u2019t know why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt made the experience unpleasant, I didn\u2019t enjoy sex and simply stopped initiating it all together. It sounds so obvious, but at the time I just thought I was broken, I hadn\u2019t considered that it might have been him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think I simply lost attraction and deep down I was unhappy in our relationship. I was in denial, which led to my body screaming at me to leave.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some people, they can become trapped in the wrong relationship due to logic and reason fighting against their \u2018gut feelings\u2019, as they choose to ignore these body signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to research by <a href=\"https:\/\/moodframe.space\/can-your-body-reject-a-relationship-an-in-depth-exploration-of-the-mind-body-connection-in-romantic-partnerships\/\">moodframe.space<\/a>, when experiencing negative emotions in a relationship, this can trigger the brain&#8217;s hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This releases hormones that, when prolonged, can cause chronic stress and manifest as physical symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scientifically, it is proven that your emotional state has a direct impact on immune function, digestion and cardiovascular health in particular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe mind and the body are very intricately connected, and sometimes the body expresses what the mind may find difficult,\u201d says Jody Sill, a psychosexual therapist and kink educator from Sheffield. \u201cFor example, it is not uncommon for vulva-owners to develop an involuntary tensing of the vaginal muscles.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research also shows that physical rejection can often stem from emotional incompatibility. This may be due to all kinds of triggers, from manipulation to lack of support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common signs are chronic anxiety, digestive problems, headaches, skin problems, low energy and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt one point I became so physically anxious to the point that I needed to go to a doctor,\u201d Darcy says, \u201cI had such severe stomach pain and just general tension. I remember crying in the doctor\u2019s office because they didn\u2019t give me any useful suggestions on how to help and I didn\u2019t know what was wrong with me or what to do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI only realised that all of these signs were my body telling me I was in the wrong relationship when I left and all of these symptoms disappeared instantly. I think because he was my first boyfriend I didn\u2019t realise what was wrong and felt like I needed to stay longer than I should have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be the case for many people when they try to justify their partner&#8217;s actions. Small injustices can trigger stress responses, and for some people, this may build up into bodily rejection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow that I\u2019m with my current boyfriend, he calms me down rather than making me anxious,\u201d says Darcy. \u201cI feel like he takes a weight off my shoulders rather than adding to it and sexually, it is completely different because I\u2019m so happy and attracted to him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t realise sexual chemistry like this existed before I met him and it makes me kick myself for not noticing the issues with my ex sooner. It seems so obvious now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t struggle with any of the issues that I used to, it feels so different. I definitely think that your body picks up more than you realise and it can certainly show signs of whether you\u2019re with the right or wrong person.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Darcy isn\u2019t the only person who has experienced physical rejection of a partner. Many Reddit users have had similar experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe subconscious mind picks up on all the little things we either accidentally miss, or deliberately ignore\u201d one user writes. \u201cThat snide remark? Oh they&#8217;re just joking. They&#8217;re late a lot? Bad traffic. We tend to actively justify things based on logical experiences, so when our body and mind start a freak-out, there&#8217;s usually a solid reason as to why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt isn&#8217;t always just sheer cowardice, we are more adept and experienced in life than we often give ourselves credit for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another user writes: \u201cAs women, our intuition is our strongest ally. If your gut is telling you something is off, then more often than not it\u2019s true. I\u2019ve heard lots of stories from women both online and in my personal circle where they would have the weirdest things happen to their bodies, from increased acne, weight gain, and UTI\u2019s, to insomnia and depression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour body knows what is healthy for you and when it starts throwing road blocks in your way the best thing to do is listen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience of bodily rejection is one that is more common than you may think and shows that your body may be more attuned than you realise. It may even be able to show you if you\u2019re with the wrong person.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pomegranate explores how your body may know whether you&#8217;re with the wrong partner and how physical symptoms may manifest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":1514,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20,154,6,21,152,53,241],"tags":[233,48,30,232,234],"class_list":["post-1441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-body","category-body-new-stories","category-pillar-3","category-connections","category-connections-new-story","category-must-reads","category-recent-reads-home-page","tag-bodily-rejection","tag-body","tag-connections","tag-fight-or-flight","tag-rejection"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fight or Flight?
