Signs Of A Bad Relationship
When It's Time To Get OUT or Fix It!
- Fighting & Arguments - This is one of the most
obvious signs of a bad relationship. Communication, expectations and
everyday decisions, seem to fire up an argument. Do the little things
he/she does fuel your anger? Arguments usually stem from an underlying problem. One that may have been swept under the carpet more than a few times.
- Going The Distance
- You know the old saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", but
too much time apart can cause you to find joy in being by yourself or
looking for someone else. Without spending quality time together on a
regular basis, no relationship can survive. Tip: Create
time in your schedules to spend exclusive time together. Make it "date
night", at least twice a month, if not even more!
This leads to ....
- Relief in The Absence of Your Partner - Do you feel
relief, happiness, maybe even a bit of excitement whenever your partner
is away? Do you feel like a bird that has escaped from their cage?
And, how do you feel when your partner is on their way home? Burdened,
sad, anxious? Not a good sign, and a flag for you to change the
situation or move on.
- Loss Of Affection
- Every human being desires affection. You had it in the beginning,
now your partner is not as willing to give you those random hugs and
kisses, nor does he/she want it from you.
- Boredom
- Of course, relationships are exciting and spontaneous in the
beginning. But what happens after the first 5 years? Are you feeling
like you would rather be doing anything else, but sitting at home,
spending time with your partner?
- Lier, Lier
- C'mon, you know better than anyone, when your partner is telling a
lie. Most likely others know that he/she is lying about their
whereabouts as well. Unfortunately, when the lying starts, then the TRUST is gone as well. In
my opinion this is #1 of all the signs of a bad relationship. Once
trust is gone, it's hard to get back. A healthy relationship is built
on trusting the one you are with.
- Social Outings Without You
- Everyone needs "alone time", but if your partner starts wanting to
ALWAYS go places by themselves, this is a warning sign and flag for you.
Where are they going and WHY aren't you included?
- Abusive Relationship - This is one of the signs of a bad relationship that shouldn't be ignored (and is meant for a close friend of mine). Yes, everyone can make a mistake, but when hitting, shoving and verbal abuse comes into the picture ... this is not the foundation of a loving relationship!!!!! Aretha Franklin had this one right! R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Respect for each other and your relationship! Love is NEVER suppose to hurt!
- Communication
- The secret to being an "Intimate Couple", and having a relationship
that is unstoppable, is communication. Communication is the building
blocks of any great relationship. Being able to talk about the good,
the bad and the ugly in your relationship, always opens the door to
improvement, and better intimacy.
- Not Having Sex
- Has "not tonight dear, I have a headache", become a regular sentence?
And, what about, "I'm too tired"? Have things in the bedroom cooled
off, to the point of no return? Does having sex feel like an
obligation? These are all signs of a bad relationship or one that needs some serious attention. And
yes, sex in a long-term relationship is definitely different than
newlywed or honeymoon sex - the longer you've been in a relationship,
the more effort you need to put into finding new ways to sexually arouse
each other. While a good relationship, isn't built on sex, it's one of the best ways to maintain intimacy.
*** But enjoying good sex with your partner, is healthy for a great relationship!
This is only a small portion of the icing on the cake, when it comes to signs of a bad relationship.
