When a relationship isn't right for you, your body may know it long before your mind is ready to accept the truth.
According to relationship expert Nicole Moore, there are a number of physical signs that can indicate emotional or psychological misalignment with a partner - and they often go overlooked.
'One of the biggest signs your body may use to tell you that you're with the wrong partner is weight gain,' Moore told DailyMail.com.
'When people are with the wrong partner, they often subconsciously cope via turning to food as a source of comfort, and this could lead to weight gain.'
However, it's not just about the number on the scale.
Physical tension, chronic discomfort, and other subtle health issues can also be signs that your body is trying to protect itself.
'When you're with the wrong partner, your body can often tighten to protect itself from the negative emotions or interactions, and this can cause all sorts of corresponding health issues,' Moore said.
She points to a concept from somatic therapy called 'body armoring,' which describes the way our bodies contract in response to chronic stress or emotional trauma.
According to Moore, areas commonly affected by this physical contraction include the throat and jaw, shoulders, stomach, and hips.
'Chronic TMJ (the joint connecting your lower jaw to your skull) and teeth grinding at night is one way that the body often communicates a relationship isn't the best for you,' she explained.
'Our conscious mind may not be willing to accept this truth, so all that tension gets expressed at night through TMJ.'
Weight gain, too, can be a sign of the body attempting to protect itself.
'For many people, the underlying feelings of not being safe in a relationship that's not right for them causes their body to puff up in self-protection,' Moore said.
'If you feel puffier or like you've gained weight but you swear your diet hasn't changed, that could be a sign that your body is puffing up to defend itself against the relationship.'
Women, in particular, may also experience more intimate symptoms.
'A common body sign that they're with the wrong partner is chronic yeast infections,' Moore noted.
'Of course, there can be many factors causing yeast infections, but sometimes it's the body warning you that your partner isn't right for you.'
Moore advises that individuals tune into more subtle cues as well.
'Anytime your body is tightening near your partner, take a moment to feel into what that tightening is trying to tell you,' she said.
'When our body feels safe with someone, it's typically relaxed and open.
'So don't ignore body tightening or tension - it's often body wisdom trying to protect you.'
In short, if your body is sounding the alarm, it may be time to listen.
