Sad as it is, not all relationships are cut out for the happily ever after. And sometimes they turn stagnate or even sour, no matter how awesome or spontaneous their start was.

HERE ARE A FEW SIGNS THAT YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL ANYMORE FOR YOUR PARTNER:

THEY TRY TO AVOID YOU

And there is suddenly an offhandedness in their demeanor. They no longer make those little gestures to show you how much they love you.

THEY NO LONGER PAY ATTENTION TO YOU

No matter what you do, you just can’t seem to catch their eye. They are always focused on something or someone other than you. This might indicate that they have already moved on and nothing you do could make them reconsider.

YOU ALWAYS END UP BEING THE CULPRIT

No matter if the issue is big or small, their accusing finger will always find you to blame. This is because they no longer respect you as much as they used to and think that you can’t do anything right.

There seem to be a scarcity of conversations

You two just never seem to find anything to talk about. Even when you try to break the ice your attempt sputters and fizzles and die, just like the chemistry between you two.

THEY ARE NEVER THERE, BUT ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE

They just no longer make time for you. And if you call them out on this behavior they would cite work or a million other excuses, but the truth is, you are no longer their priority.

THEY NO LONGER SUPPORT YOU

Their patience seems to be at an all-time low, and anything and everything can trigger their annoyance.

YOU START BLAMING YOURSELF

First, you’d question what you did wrong to solicit such a behavior from them. Then you’d question your choice of being in a relationship with them at all.

THEY NO LONGER INCLUDE YOU

They no longer have you in mind when they plan their weekend and they never consider what you would want to do 3 months from now.

THEY DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO EXPLAIN THEIR BEHAVIOR TO YOU

They never tell you why they stayed out late or what they did during the day.

THEY ARE ALWAYS CAUSING YOU HURT

When the bad memories start overtaking the good ones, take the cue and leave.

THEY SAY YOU ARE ENCROACHING ON THEIR PERSONAL SPACE

There is a very thin line between a personal space, and wanting to be left alone. If it’s the latter they want, grant them their wish.

THERE IS MUTUAL DISTRUST

Both of you no longer feel connected and this question everything the other is doing.
