Pisces13 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I just wanted to get everyone's take on intuition and gut feelings, particularly in regards to relationships and breakups. Are you a believer? Have you ever had any instances of it? Feel free to share your stories or opinions I've always been a strong believer in intuition and regularly have spurs of it, but since my girlfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago, my intuition has been running wild. She has contacted me several times since then, and on each occasion during that day I had a really strong feeling that she was going to try and contact me, one feeling was so strong that I actually predicted what she was doing when she decided to contact me. It hasn't just been in relation to her and the breakup either, I've had it happen with a few everyday things as well. It's really strange how something like a breakup can make you feel so "in tune" with the world around you. Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Never mind your 'intuition'... just assure us you're not responding to her contact attempts - are you? Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Very little surprises me and relationship/marriage- related 'intuition' or 'gut feelings' are just a tiny part of that. What you appear to be describing is increased sensitivity or perception thereof in one small area of life. That's valid. If it seems 'unique', it's likely due to your emotional attachment. Process that out to a neutral state and it should fade. This presumes that such processing would be a healthy choice, meaning you wish to move on from this experience and have other relationships of similar intimacy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lissa90 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) As my ex (dammit) used to always say - Correlation doesn't mean Causation. Think of all the times your gut instinct has been wrong. How many times you were sure of something and it didn't happen. My gut instinct is always negative, so I always take it with a pinch of salt when making a decision.

siankat Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hey Pisces13 I think that intuition and gut feelings are powerful tools to 'know' what's going on in some circumstances. If you are a sensitive person, to your surroundings and the nuances of other people that go mostly unnoticed by others you can be more in tune with links between things than other people so when something happens that arouses your instincts it's because you have processed hundreds of little signs and have a strong hunch based on that. I don't believe it comes outta thin air as if psychic or something. Also science has proven all energy is converted, never lost, so i also think you can be so in tune with someone's energy that there are ripples you can feel. I don't want this to come across as if i believe in hocus pocus cos i sure don't but i believe in intuition sure, and some people are able to tap into it more than others Link to post Share on other sites
Harradin Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This descrbes me perfectly. I could tell when my ex was upset without knowing anything until I was told afterwards, or when she was going to contact me etc. I thought I was going insane! I still get them now but since I'm nearly half a year NC I'm not going to break it. Its a funny feeling in your gut! I'm 100% dependent on my gut instinct, its always been right so its a guide for me. Link to post Share on other sites
candie13 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I totally believe in intuition. And if you're not sure, that may be because your intuition is fighting your wild desire to believe what you're being told or shown. Not good. Usually, if the person in front of you is a match, you just know it. It's like a light, a glow being lit from inside. As for the break-ups bringing the intuition up, yes, I totally see it happening. you know why? Because you are not "imprisoned" in your relationship and you are finally listening to yourself. That awareness of freedom - probably you've missed it - is what's making you more in tune with what's happening around you. Including your ex coming back and forth. If this were a good relationship, your intuition wouldn't have woken up so strongly... you're more aware. Use it to bring closer things / people that make you happy. While I think it's wrong to get stuck in the past, I believe it's even more wrong to be afraid and not fight for love . I'm a romantic :) . Listen to yourself, and whatever conclusion you reach, i wish you all the courage in the world to follow up on it and make it come to life. Best of luck Link to post Share on other sites
