The world is a different place than it was a 6 months ago but I don’t need to tell you that. You know for yourself. You’ve felt the ups and downs of work, health, life and relationships. For most people the pandemic is either going go make or break relationships and for a lot of people that’s exactly what has already happened. Relationships have been put to the test all around the world. For some people it has made their relationship stronger. Couples are spending more time together and remembering why they fell in love in the first place. When you spend every day all day with the same person over and over again you really begin to rely on them, more than you ever did before. This can truly strengthen a relationship however it could cause issues and have adverse effects on your relationship. Things can go the opposite way when you spend a lot of time together…..You could realize that a lot of the traits you used to love about someone now annoy you and that you and your partner aren’t as compatible as you once were. Below are signs that indicate your relationship is over……….
1. You don’t talk anymore – When you ask each other how your day was you don’t listen for each other’s answers. When you have to repeat. yourself multiple times because your partner didn’t take in what you said the first time. You no longer look at each other when you communicate and instead watch TV or play on your phone when talking to each other.
2. You don’t miss them – When you are apart you no longer think about your partner. If you were to spend a weekend away from your partner and you go the entire time without thinking about them that is a huge red flag.
3. They are no longer your priority – You put your family, friends and co workers before your significant other. When your work becomes a priority and you feel that you want to stay at the office after hours instead of going home to see your spouse.
4. You start to imagine a future without them – Whether your day dreaming or just laying in bed thinking, you imagine your future without them in it.
5. Intimacy is our the window – It has been months since you and your partner have been intimate. OR you no longer enjoy intimacy with your significant other. You fantasize about being intimate with other people.
6. You can no longer be yourself – Whether you feel that you have changed as a person or you feel that you have to hide who you really are around your significant it is a big sign you don’t belong together. You should never feel like you are walking on egg shells with your partner.
7. Sabotage – When a relationship is near it’s end you will notice a lot of sabotage. Whether you are purposely trying to hurt your partner or you do it without really meaning too it’s a true sign the relationship is done.
8. Lack of trust – You are constantly questioning your partners whereabouts. You don’t believe they are telling you the truth about where they have been and who they have been with. You catch each other in lies.
9. Don’t enjoy time together – If you dread having to spend time with your partner. When you do spend time together you almost always fight.
10. More bad times than good times – When you look back your relationship and realize you have more bad times than good ones. You can’t remember the last good time you had together.
It is important to remember that things can change. If you both feel the desire to change your relationship and work on things you have the potential to turn things around. Experts say that communication is key in any relationship and that in order to make things better the first step is to simply just sit down and talk….. really talk.
