Warning Signs To Watch For
Your arguments go round in circles
Whether you’re arguing about money, housework or the kids, you aren’t resolving rows because you can’t seem to identify solutions.
The relationship feels stagnant
If you describe your partnership as just okay or feel things are at a standstill, it’s likely your connection is deteriorating, says Hollonds. When assessing our long-term partnerships, “We tend to underestimate, rather than overestimate, how bad things are, and nothing lives in stagnant water,” she explains.
One of you is emotionally distant
One partner is more about meeting up with friends and less about enjoying the other’s company. You’re probably spending less time together.
The fun is gone
When you do do something as a pair, there’s no excitement. “This is typically a sign that one half has stopped trying,” says Hollonds.
