Reaching the end of a relationship is the worst! You feel like you’re on a roller coaster ride, one moment, wanting the relationship to finally end, and the other, feeling terrified by the thought of being alone. The reality is that being alone is much better than being in a stale relationship. Breakups are hard, but after some time, everything will be back to normal and you’ll feel like you again.
If you think your relationship is turning sour, here are the 8 things you need to look out for:
1. It all got a little boring
There was once a time when you couldn’t get enough of your company. Now, it seems like every night you’re spending with the TV on and your phone in your hands. If this is the way your relationship looks like now, it might be reaching its end.
2. Communication has gone
Communication is key to every successful relationship. You need to be able to talk to your partner about everything, from simple everyday things to family issues that bother you. If you can’t openly talk with your partner, it’s time to say goodbye.
3. You don’t want to have sex
Sex is an important part in every relationship and it can tell whether your relationship is doing well. If you don’t want to have sex with your partner and things always feel cold, it’s time to end things.
4. What future?
There were times when you planned everything together, where are you having lunch, to summer vacation to what pillows are you getting. Now, even planning a simple dinner with your partner feels like a difficult task. You never talk about the future anymore and you never plan things for two. If this is the case, it’s time to end your relationship.
5. You start fights
When you get towards the end of the relationship, you start to pick fights about everything. Things that you didn’t even noticed before, now become a big deal and a reason to fight. No one likes to spend his days fighting. End things before everything turns really ugly.
6. You don’t show affections
There were times when you loved spending every moment cuddling in bed with your partner, whispering sweet words to his ears. When was the last time you said “I love you”? Everyone wants affections, but if you’re not getting anything from your partner, it’s time to end things.
7. You’re not interested
You are literally not interested in anything your partner says. You’ve outgrown each other and the relationship. If you don’t want to know what your partner day was like or simple things like that, it means you’re no longer interested in staying in a relationship with this person.
8. One of you has cheated
This is the ultimate sign that you need to break up. If one of you has cheated, it means that the partner is no longer interested in you.
