Meghan and Harry are currently on their first 'Royal Tour' as a married couple and the media are going crazy for it. 

The articles and photographs published suggest that the married couple are as loved up as ever and the announcement that the couple are expecting their first child, five months after their Royal Wedding, only makes us realise how happy they seem to be with one another. 

Sometimes the perceived happiness in other people’s relationships makes you question your own relationship, doesn’t it? There may be times when you are spending quality time with your partner and you feel suspicious about some of their behaviour. It is these suspicions that ultimately can lead to the breakdown of a relationship.

Perhaps you are on holiday with your partner and they are never off their phone, or alternatively they will never go on their phone around you - this type of behaviour is typical of someone who we think is "up to something". Increased use of social media and technological advancements have contributed to more relationship breakdowns and studies have shown that there is a correlation between social media and decreased marriage quality. 

Other changes in your partners behaviour that can lead to feeling insecure or suspicious are being secretive, argumentative or less affectionate. Even if a partner display none of the typical signs, your instinct may be onto something and you may feel like the relationship if over. 

Many couples, married or un-married, worry about separating due to the many complications that can arise. This includes joint ownership of a house or owning a house in a sole name but your partner has lived with you and contributed to the household. Couples may also have children and worry about the impact of separation on them.
