Love – who doesn’t love to be in love? New relationships give you a rush, almost like a drug. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you can’t wake up without thinking about them. Over time, things tend to sizzle down, even as your love for each other grows and you become more comfortable with each other. And for a lucky few, these feelings last a lifetime. For others, heartbreak awaits them when they find out that their relationship hasn’t worked out, that it’s time to leave the person that you thought as yours and move on.
The worst is when you are unable to identify when to end things, or stay in a relationship out of fear of making a mistake. This could result in you being stuck in a toxic relationship that you are unable to get out of. Well, that’s why these 9 signs are crucial to you. These signs indicate how your partner is feeling. Read them and make sure that your partner doesn’t do these to you.
Doesn’t like to show affection in front of others
There are people who are shy and generally dislike PDA. But if your partner hasn’t always been this way, but suddenly seems distant and like he’s ignoring you for someone else, then this could be a sign that your relationship is dying out.
Seems more interested in someone else
It would be pretty hard to miss if your partner is showing particular interest in someone else, if they are snubbing you and leaving you alone to spend time with them, then maybe it’s time to have a long, hard talk with your partner. And if you’re unable to reach a proper solution, it might be time to throw in the towel.
Conversation is spare
Its normal for couples to not have every single thing in common, but you must be able to talk to your other half about whatever – even things that you disagree on. If your partner seems to be disinterested in talking to you, asking you about your day, conferring with you about your opinions, it could mean that the relationship has lost steam.
Blames you for everything.
In a relationship, both parties must take equal responsibility. And when one of you is unable to hold up your end of the deal – be it housework, errands, or chores – the other must cover for them. We don’t mean all the time, just once in a while when there is a valid reason. Anyway, the point is that when you’re in a relationship, you’re a team. There is no place for pointing fingers and placing blame. That is why if your partner is always blaming your and putting you down for something or the other, then it’s time to a good look at your relationship.
Your partner does not support you anymore
Your partner is your rock, the one person you lean on when you feel weak, your main support system. This is why when you feel like you cannot share with your partner and he doesn’t seem to be supportive anymore, it might be time to end your relationship.
Finds excuses to stay out late
Everyone needs alone time, even in relationships, that’s normal. But if you’re partner is never home or always finds an excuse to stay late at work, or makes plans to go out without you all the time, it means that he doesn’t want to spend time with you anymore. This is a sign that maybe it’s time your relationship came to a stop.
Your partner is disrespectful to you
Respect is key in any relationship, and a romantic one is no exception. If your partner doesn’t make you feel like your worthy, and valued, then they are definitely not the right person for you. If they are constantly belittling you and making you feel worthless, then it’s time to slam the breaks on that relationship!
He/she seems defensive and secretive
If your partner is being sketchy and/defensive, it might be time to investigate and figure out what’s up. If simple, unimportant queries are met with self-justifying answers and they don’t seem like they are telling the truth of hiding something from you, they might very well be doing just that or they might just not be interested in sharing their life with you anymore, either way – it’s time to get out.
You don’t like yourself
We tend to be too hard on ourselves, that’s why having a partner who loves you for who you are, regardless of your flaws and imperfections makes your life a whole lot easier. It gives you confidence and makes the world seem easier to conquer. If you don’t feel that way with your other half, if they don’t make you feel like you’re the most important person in the world, then what’s the point of even being with them?
