Every relationship is unique but there are some patterns of behavior that are likely to occur in almost every relationship.
There will always be someone who cares more and someone who cares less (or there is also a third version where you simply don’t care which is “surprisingly” related to men in most cases).
This state of “not caring enough” is what makes you force your relationship without realizing it.
So, here are 6 signs you should pay attention to if you want to know if your relationship is warning you that it needs to be fixed before it’s too late or it’s time to leave.
- Romance is dead
You don’t hold hands anymore, and you don’t hug or kiss as frequently as you used to.
It’s clear that the romance is long over but you continue to deny admitting it to yourself.
When someone asks you about your partner, the only thing you can say is that he or she is good.
It’s clear from the way you speak and your gestures that something is wrong (and those who know you well will know it too).
- You don’t care about answering their calls anymore
At that time, you used to answer their call as soon as you heard the ringtone, but now you can spend hours listening to your phone repeating the same tune over and over even if it is very annoying because it is easier to do that than actually talking to it. they.
It’s also easier to pretend you didn’t hear them calling you (even though you know it’s a lie) just because you’re tired of their voices and you know the procedures of the entire conversation by heart.
- Spending time with them has become exhausting
You used to enjoy playing different sports with them, playing video games in multiplayer mode, cooking together, and cuddling, but now you get more enjoyment from paying bills than from spending time with them.
The idea of being around each other doesn’t appeal to you anymore, and when you spend time together, you only think about the moment you’ll break up because you’re not enjoying a single moment of it.
- You are skeptical about your future
Back then, you used to make plans for the two of you ten years in advance, but now you’re quite skeptical about your future.
You don’t see them as someone who will stay with you or whom you will introduce to your family.
You are convinced that their strange habits (which you used to find cute) will haunt you for the rest of your life if you stay with them and you are more afraid of this than you are of death.
You feel that the end is coming and it is just a matter of time.
- You are terrified of their flaws
No more laughing when they do something unusual that is special to them.
On the contrary, you feel terrible about some of the things they keep doing but you don’t know how to tell them because you don’t want to offend them.
So, when you see them making a fool of themselves, you just pretend to smile, pretend that they succeeded in doing their job of making you laugh, and then hope that your brain will delete what you just saw as soon as possible. maybe.
- You cannot repeat these three words because they sound wrong
Saying these three words comes to your mind very rarely (like going to the gym) and you don’t care about them anymore.
You don’t say it first now, and even when they do, there’s a two-minute pause where you desperately try to find a solution to save yourself from the discomfort you feel in your stomach.
If you don’t come up with anything clever, you suddenly pretend you have a bad headache or your stomach hurts just to redirect their attention to something else (I pray they forget you by not repeating those three words).
