4. You’re not close anymore
Many people believe that communication is the key ingredient when it comes to a happy and healthy relationship. I believe that communication is important only if the partners are willing to listen and improve themselves.
For instance, if you tell your partner that you don’t like it when they come home late every night and they still do it, communication is not the key here. We can say that the main thing people have to do in a relationship is to pay attention to the way they communicate, respect, and treat each other.
If you have a hard time sharing your thoughts and secrets with your partner or if you feel more comfortable talking to someone else, it’s a red flag that something is wrong.
5. All conversations turn into fights
Fights are normal in any serious relationship and they sometimes can make partners realize the things they did wrong to one another and it gives them the opportunity to make amends.
However, if you end up fighting every time you want to discuss something with each other, that’s not a good sign. Arguing from time to time won’t hurt you, but doing so too often will leave both of you sad, tired, and even depressed.
6. Your partner “receives”, but doesn’t “give” anything back
A relationship takes a lot of time and effort from both of you in order to function the way it’s supposed to. Unfortunately, if you notice that all you do is take care of your partner and you receive nothing in return, it means that your significant other is not putting any effort in. If that is your case, you should let them go and find yourself someone who actually cares and appreciates you.
7. Everything is plain and boring
Not that you should have a love life that looks like it’s straight out of the movies, but it doesn’t have to be boring either. From going for a walk together to going on date nights from time to time, or simply cooking and watching a film together, there are plenty of things couples can do to bring them closer to each other.
All you need is the willingness to make an effort to keep things running smoothly, and they’re fun and exciting. If your relationship feels more like a chore, rather than something beautiful, it might be time to say goodbye to your partner.
