Everyone’s idea of an unhappy relationship is different, and so are their ways of dealing with it. Being in an unhappy and miserable relationship is never easy, but sometimes instead of leaving that relationship, some people tend to act out in other ways. While some might cheat on their partners, some people end up staying in denial about the reality of their relationship.
Chinese astrology and Chinese zodiac signs can say a lot about how you might behave if you are unhappy about the state of your relationship. They can reveal many secrets about you and your personality, which even you might not have realized.
Here Is How You Behave When You Are Unhappy In Your Relationship, Based On Your Chinese Zodiac
1. Rat (2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960)
They cheat.
Rats find it easy to start new relationships but find it very difficult to maintain them. They get very bored, very easily. And rather than just end relationships sometimes they like seeing how much they can get away with and for how long. When this pattern continues what they are failing to realize is it’s not the person who they are dating who is the issue, it’s them.

2. Ox (2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961)
They fake what’s really going on because they don’t want to believe it.
The ox is loyal and good at relationships. They gravitate towards relationships that last long and are healthy until the end. But sometimes people change and the relationship doesn’t evolve also. Instead of stating that an Ox will live in denial of what’s going on and continue to pretend the relationship was as good as it was when it began. It’s hard to let go but it hurts more holding onto something that’s not there anymore.
3. Tiger (2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962)
They overcompensate.
The tiger isn’t one who is too emotional or shows affection well. But when their relationship suddenly isn’t what it used to be they think they have to try too hard. Suddenly something is off in this relationship and they don’t know how to fix it.
4. Rabbit (2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963)
They stay busy.
Probably the most likable of all signs, when their relationship begins to fall apart instead of ending it, they try not to think about it. They get themselves consumed in work or projects, charity groups, or sports. They think out of sight out of mind but whenever they come home they are met with an awkward small talk where no one is actually saying anything or saying what they need to.
5. Dragon (2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964)
They turn to everyone else but their partner to talk about it.
A dragon tends to gossip and cause problems simply because they air their dirty laundry. Soon they find themselves in a relationship triangle because the person they turn to suddenly catches feels, their current partner gets jealous, they say it’s nothing and suddenly there is just so much going on the relationship ends.
The problem whatever it might have been initially morphed into something else and that’s the recurring theme dragons have in the relationship is not being able to address the problem with the right person.
