Entering a relationship is one of the best things that can happen to a person and having a partner can make life more meaningful. But while entering a relationship is easy, maintaining one can be quite hard. Sometimes in spite of all efforts, the relationship just doesn’t work out.
The following are eight signs that show that ‘all is not well’ and that it could be time to move on.
1. Thinking of your partner doesn’t make you smile.
When you imagine your partner, the only thoughts that come to mind are negative. Have you just lost that lovin’ feeling?
2. You spend more time fighting than talking.
Clinical psychologist Seema Hingorranny says, “When couples start to fight constantly about every petty little thing, then this is a possible sign that the relationship is on the rocks. Many times one person in a relationship picks insignificant fights with the other trying to get the other person to break up with them.”
3. The duration of time spent together is diminishing day by day.
If you’re making making excuses not to spend time with each other, watch out. Seema says, “If you find yourself relieved when you part company with your partner, you need to re-evaluate the
relationship.”
4. Even when the two of you are together, intimacy is always missing.
You no longer feel that special connection with your partner even when you are together.
5. You no longer look forward to spending time with your partner.
Gone are the days you couldn’t wait to see your partner. In fact, you now can’t wait to get away from him or her so just move on.
6. You cannot remember the last time you two had sex.
Seema says, “A plummeting sex drive can indicate that you are no longer interested in your relationship. If it’s an intimate relationship and you now find yourself in a situation where sexual involvement has virtually stopped, it’s a definite sign that the relationship is over.”
7. You’re doing all the giving or all the getting.
Your relationship has become one-sided and only one person is making the effort. “If your partner has become less interested in you or is more in aspects of their life other than you, this is a huge sign that he or she has lost interest in the relationship,” explains Seema.
8. You can’t see him/her in the future.
One normally dreams of a future with a loved one. Affirms Seema, “One of the most natural and exciting parts of being involved with someone is planning a future together. But if neither partner is willing to talk about the future, it’s an indication of the end.”
