SIGNS YOUR PARTNER HAS LOST INTEREST

If you have been in a relationship where the interest is lacking?

Your relationship has been a bit rocky lately, but it’s not like your partner has JUST lost interest in you…or have you just missed the warning signs? Worrying about the stability and security of your relationship is not something that people in healthy relationships deal with regularly.

If you have concerns, your fears may or may not be founded in reality. Although you may have some signs that your partner has lost interest listed below, to use to better recognize what may have become a pattern, you may need to have a heart to heart with your partner about your feelings to really be sure about their plans to continue in the relationship, or not!

1. YOUR PARTNER HAS BEEN  MORE THAN A LITTLE SELFISH LATELY

You seem to always be eating your partner’s favorite meals and watching their favorite shows, but where is the consideration for what you love? If your partner has lost interest, you will start to notice this sign; feeling like your needs and desires are second place to those of your partner.

Researchers studying relationship breakups found that imbalances in power in the relationship, for example, where one partner controls all of the activities, are connected to relationship conflict, unhappiness, psychological distress, and breakup.

2. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG MOST OF THE TIME

You can feel like apologizing when your partner has lost interest, but in reality, you’ve done nothing wrong. Maybe it’s the silent treatment your partner is giving you, or the disapproving looks that you’ve seen them send your way, but you definitely feel like you did something wrong.

Loss of interest can be like an infected wound that grows into something worse; contempt. When we no longer care for the well-being of the people in our daily life, we can grow angry and resentful in their presence, which expresses itself as a negative emotion toward the person who is unwanted.

3. YOU USED TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR PARTNER’S SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, NOW NOT SO MUCH.

Your partner has stopped including you in the fun things that they do with friends when they are away from you. For that matter, you aren’t being included in family get-togethers either. Whatever your partner is doing without you, it’s clear that they have lost interest in doing it with you.

4. THEY DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOU

I can't believe he just walked out the door.

If your partner has ever told you that they just don’t have time for you, it might have made you feel like the lowest person on Earth. This is definitely an unfeeling way to treat the person that they supposedly love. But his/her actions might tell you all that you need to know.

5. YOU HAVE BEEN DISRESPECTED BY YOUR PARTNER, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION

Your partner used a vulgar gesture or language toward you, belittled you in front of others or even in private. Their words are hurtful, angry, and anything but kind and loving.

6. THE TWO OF YOU ARGUE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

You rarely used to fight, but now it seems like your partner has lost interest in everything with you except for arguing.

7. YOU HAVE ASKED THEM TO CHANGE THEIR NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR, BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT

It would be nice if your partner would treat you the way you have asked them to treat you, but clearly they have no interest in changing their behavior for you at this point in your relationship.

8. YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING, AND SO HAVE THEY.

Not your love toward your partner, but your partner sure isn’t giving you love that is meaningful to you. You can’t remember the last time you were held and comforted, cuddled, or treated with loving kindness.

For that matter, your partner is not supporting you when you need them to.


9. YOU SUSPECT THAT THEY ARE KEEPING THINGS FROM YOU

Emotional cheating, withholding information, or outright lying and physical cheating; you suspect that something has been going on behind your back.
You might be hitting the nail on the head....

FINAL WORD: it's not the end of the world, it may feel like it, when a relationship starts to fall apart. But it's not the end... see it as an opportunity to move forward from something that was dying. Look for new interest and new adventures. Life is never over, until it's over. No one should, have the power to  make you feel like you can't live without them.
It may be time to fall for someone new, who might be willing to catch you.
