How you use small words in everyday conversations can hint to whether or not you’re about to breakup with your partner, according to a new study.
"It seems that even before people are aware that a breakup is going to happen, it starts to affect their lives," said lead author Sarah Seraj. "We don't really notice how many times we are using prepositions, articles or pronouns, but these function words get altered in a way when you're going through a personal upheaval that can tell us a lot about our emotional and psychological state."
