Do most people have a sixth sense or gut feeling when it comes to their SO?

Asked by definitive (794points) December 12th, 2009

I’m just interested on whether other people experience a gut feeling or sixth sense with their SO even though you’ve no evidence of actions or nothing has been spoken.

I feel I just ’know’ when it comes to my SO and I have found out some things that are pretty hurtful and I wish I hadn’t. My SO once questioned will tell me the truth because he knows I believe in honesty and communication.

I’m just wondering also that if I can pick up on what is going on in his head and ’crimes commited’ lol whether this means we have a strong bond?

I know people are going to relate it to picking up on body language but I have recently discovered something because I had a gut feeling so the body language theory can’t be substantiated.

ALL women have that. They instinctively KNOW if you have been a bad boy, so, as it is written, “Resistance is Futile!”

i don’t know about having a sixth sense with a SO, since i don’t have one but i do know that whe i am in a relationship, i have some kind of intuition about what is going on with my SO…i think most women do.
i do have some kind of weird connection to my dad though…he is 12 hours away and i can always tell when something is wrong with him! he got into an accident a few months back and i just knew something was wrong so i called my mom up that night and she told me he’d been in an accident.. stuff like this has happened several times with him, it kind of weirds me out, but i also like having that connection.

No. I always think the girlfriend is mad at me, but she insists that she isn’t.

Couples sync up, sure. You can get into the place together where you both pick up the phone to call each other at the same time or finish each other’s sentences, that kind of thing and still one of the two (or both) are perfectly capable of being destructive and deceitful.

My wife calls me her puppy. I always call to check up on her when she is 5 minutes away from home. We have a 5 minute rule. When I start expecting her I’m supposed to wait 5 minutes before texting or calling. She always makes it in that 5 minutes. Sometimes I worry, and call right away. Then she says, “you didn’t wait 5 minutes did you puppy?” ok. Even I gagged a vit

@hungryhungryhortence…yeah I know what you mean often I’m texting my SO and I receive a text at the same time…weird

@spontaneous_adjective I’m thinking that might be guilt? I used to have the same feeling…..........

Yeah, there’s a reason the ‘head’ of the Borgs was female!!

I think it’s only because you pay a lot more attention to your SO than to other people sometimes. So it’s easier to pick up on what they’re thinking and feeling. If I’m feeling self-absorbed, this intuition doesn’t work as well.

My girlfriend just said to me about an hour ago that she can totally clue in to when I need my space or whatever it is that I need.

I was having a rough last couple of days and last night, she knew that I needed some chill time and held me on the sofa. No talking, just relaxing with our eyes closed. I eventually told her that I wanted to go to bed. She let me sleep for awhile, then crawled into bed with me. Usually, she is all over me whilst in bed, but, last night, she lightly scratched my back and held me. I asked her about it this morning, if she was okay with everything and she told me that she could sense that I was pretty stressed and knew just what to do. Sometimes, girls can be a little overly sensitive and will take things personally. Meaning, in the past, if I was “off”, my girlfriend would think that it had something to do with her/be all insecure. Now that she knows me better, she doesn’t take things personally anymore. It’s all good. :)

I think it comes down to the connection you have with your SO . A strong intuitive sense can even change if you drift apart with your partner. Also while I know when a guy is lying or hiding something from me, on the other side of that coin I am really good at hiding my anger and/or disappointment in a relationship.

tenth sense
Not quite sure. I’m going to be honest, I don’t know why, but when he’s close to me I feel chills on my spine. I get them before I actually know he’s close to me. I also know the weekend he’s going to cut his hair and when he’s going to wear this special shirt.

My girlfriend seems to know when something is wrong, or when I am about to need assistance, or when I am coming down with an illness, or when I am hypoglycemic before I know. I feel very well cared for by her, and I hope that I am able to care for her as well. She doesn’t need to have any 6th-sense awareness to detect anything about my behavior or misbehavior, because I never lie to her about anything, ever.

Oh yes and my husband does with me as well. When you live with someone, you get to know their “clues”.

DarlingRhadamanthus's avatar

Yes….....I have always been able to know things about the S.O. in relationships but as @definitive said sometimes the discoveries were painful and I wish I wasn’t so intuitive.

But I am. Most women are. They know.

When my ex-boyfriend and I were together I could I always tell when something was bothering him or if he was lying to me. I don’t think it was sixth sense, but I’m a very perceptive person and I pick up on body language and gestures from people. I’m on the quieter side so I guess that allows me more time to observe people and their behavior and figure out things like that.

Most people have guts feelings then six sense in the relationship.

deni's avatar

yessss. i also believe you kinda “know” when someone is right for you or not. there’s a feeling that’s there…that is hard to explain, but it exists. and it’s not there in relationships that don’t work out. WHACK HOW THIS SHIT WORKS
