Is Your Relationship Over? How Can You Tell?
Being in a loving relationship can make you feel amazing. However, when things are not going well, you begin to doubt whether you are prepared for the long haul. So, what are the tell-tale signs that your relationship may be over?
1. The Thrill is Gone
Is the spark, the excitement in your relationship fading? Are you and your partner no longer enjoying life together?
2. Lack of Shared Goals
Your partner is no longer in your thoughts, and there are no shared goals or positive thoughts of a future together. You find yourself spending more time with friends or relatives and not valuing your relationship as much.
3. Avoidance of Important Occasions
You find it difficult to be around them for important occasions or meaningful experiences. It feels more like a chore because you cannot be yourself, and you may be pretending to be someone you are not for the sake of the relationship.
4. Irritating Habits
You start recognizing irritating habits or routines which are beginning to annoy you, such as what they say, what they do, the way they talk, or the noises they make when they are sleeping or eating. These habits are no longer amusing.
5. Boredom in the Relationship
Life is becoming boring in your relationship. The same old routines, same stories, and same complaints are no longer interesting or amusing.
6. Constant Bickering
Constant bickering and arguing, attacking and defending, and escalating fights and disagreements start off small and end in situations where there is regret, hurt, and anger. Is this how your relationship should be?
Finding Hope
While these are signs to look for, there may still be hope in your relationship if both of you want to invest in creating a future together. A counsellor can help if you are prepared to make some simple changes that will enhance your relationship.
