Butno relationship comes without challenges, so how do you know when it’s really over?
You’re too apathetic to fight.
One (or both) of you is not seeking help.
You always feel like you need a break.
Relationships ought to feel fulfilling, supportive, and at the very least, enjoyable!
You daydream about being single.
There’s a lack of intimacy.
It’s natural for couples to go throughups and downs in their sex life.
That signals that you’re no longer looking to each other for pleasure and intimacy.
You’ve stopped helping each other.
Healthy relationshipsare not only supportive but involve compromise and going out of your way to help one another.
There’s sabotage involved.
You avoid each other.
you could’t imagine the future together.
You’ve stopped bringing them around.
Think back to when you two were first happily together.
You were probably proud, excited, and eager to bring them around friends and family.
You want different things.
Some things can be compromised on, but others simply cannot.
There’s resentment.
Bruneau notes holding contempt for each other is never a good sign, especially if it’s consistent.
That might look like feeling consistently bitter, angry, or even hateful toward your partner.
You don’t miss them when you’re apart.
Their presence drains you.
Again, partnerships should be uplifting and enjoyable.
You’re not supporting each other or celebrating wins.
You treat each other poorly.
We’re not talking the occasional gripe or snipe at each other.
There’s a lack of trust.
Perhaps some of the problems in the relationship arose from a circumstance like infidelity or lying.
Everything they do bothers you.
The relationship feels hopeless.
If one or both of you feels that’s not possible, it simply won’t happen.
