What Your Chinese Zodiac Says About You In Unhappy Relationships

May 29, 2018 by apost team

We don't always end up in the perfect relationships. When that happens, each person acts differently. Chinese zodiac signs shed light on how you may act. 

Rats Push Boundaries
2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960

Rats find boredom a nuisance, so it's shame they get bored easily. While it's easy for you to start new relationships, maintaining them is a different story. You'll start acting out to see what you can get away. You may not realize that problem may be you.

Ox Fake It
2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961

An Ox would rather live in denial than admit that the relationship isn't what it once was. Given in your loyalty, it can be hard to let go but sometimes it hurts more to hold on. 

Tigers Overcompensate
2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962

Tigers aren't the best at showing affection or dealing with emotions. When you find your relationship heading downwards, you aren't sure how to fix it. This can result in overcompensation. 
 

Rabbits Keep Moving
2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963

Rabbits like to stay busy instead of thinking about their relationship falling apart. Instead of ending things, you immerse yourself in work, creative projects, or charities. If your relationship is out of sight, it's out of mind. 
 

Dragons Talk With Anyone Else
2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964

Dragons turn to anyone but their partner to talk about their problems. You don't always realize that airing your dirty laundry can cause more problems. What started as something small has now morphed into something much bigger. 

Snakes Stay At Work
2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965

Like Rabbits, Snakes prefer to stay busy. You spend long hours in the office and dedicating more time for work trips. You love what you do, but probably don't realize that more office time doesn't help your failing relationship. 

Horses Blame Themselves
2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966

Usually the star of center stage, horses don't always understand when the relationship heads south. You may not understand that your partner isn't always your adoring fan. Because you gain confidence from others, you can start blaming yourself when things fall apart. 

Goats Try Fixing It
2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967

Goats just want to fix everything. Instead of taking it out on others, you try to work it out. Sometimes you don't always realize that the problem can't be fixed and that it's time to walk away. 

Monkeys Blame Their Partner
2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968

Whereas horses blame themselves, monkeys have the tendency to blame their partner. You can begin projecting all your issues onto your partner without realizing you're also partly to blame. You can even pile on issues that are unrelated to the relationship. 

Roosters Get Controlling
2005, 1993, 1981, 1969

Roosters are used to control. When the relationship falls apart, everything feels unbalanced for you. You try to fix the situation by taking control of what you can. You don't always realize when it's time to let go. 

Dogs Change Themselves
2006, 1994, 1982, 1970

Dogs can be loyal and honest to a default. When you notice that your relationship is failing, you sometimes decide to change yourself instead of seeing what in the relationship needs to be changed. This doesn't always work out for the best. 

Pigs Don't Communicate
2007, 1995, 1983, 1971

Pigs are smart, but not the best communicators. You know the relationship needs to come to an end, but you don't know the right words. Not being able to articulate the problem, you can cause more problems.
