If there's one thing people will have very different opinions on, it's how a relationship can work. Expert Rick Netshiozwi, a life coach who has over 400,000 followers on TikTok, took to the social media site to post a video on the signs of a marriage on the verge of breaking up, saying there is one clear way to know that your relationship it's over

In the short video, Rick Netshiozwi states that one of the most obvious signs of a marriage coming to an end is “when there are no more touches”.

“Stop hugging each other. The kisses aren't the same anymore or they aren't as frequent anymore”he said. “When you're each sleeping on your side of the bed and your feet aren't even touching anymore, it's a clear sign that the marriage is headed for a dead end.”

Rick went on to say that “touch is a vital component of marriage” and he believes that if there is a strange energy when you touch each other, you will know that that connection is truly gone.

“This is a symbol that you are moving away faster than lightning,” he said.

People were quick to react in the comments section, giving their own take on Rick's statement, with some agreeing with him wholeheartedly, while others criticized his statement, telling him to “be realistic”.

“We are both 50 years old. We sleep in different rooms because we both snore. I can't remember the last time we kissed. We have been together for 35 years,” one person said.

“Yes, you are right in everything you say. We were married for 33 years, but soon we are divorcing”another user said.

“My marriage was like that and we were on the verge of breaking up. We managed to get over”another wrote.

However, others weren't so sure, with one person saying: “Nobody kisses as much as they did in the beginning, be realistic.”

“Touch doesn't matter so much to some. Maybe it only matters to you. Some people may not feel like being touched all the time,” another user wrote.
