Falling in love is a different experience than struggling to stay in love. Some signs indicate that you or your partner may be quietly falling in love with each other. At the beginning of the relationship, the whole experience feels magical. But slowly you realize that it was just an attraction that is quickly fading. This could be because you and your partner have nothing in common, are too busy, or just aren’t attracted to each other anymore. Other reasons can be the continued negative interference of other people or the consequences of difficult situations that the couple has experienced. These can lead to a stiffening of one another and a drastic drop in attraction and the desire to be together. Read on to discover the signs that the love you had for your partner is waning.
1. You are apathetic towards your partner
It doesn’t mean that you don’t have feelings for your partner, but something is wrong. You don’t want to start a conversation or express your feelings – not even anger or jealousy. They no longer care about them and emotionally distance themselves from them. When we love someone, we care deeply about them. So when indifference sets in, it is a sign that you are losing love for your partner.
2. You no longer spend time with your partner
You don’t want to spend time with them anymore. A lack of interest and unwillingness to resolve conflicts can be possible reasons for such behavior. Limited interaction and blockages are some ways you avoid your partner because you no longer have affection for them.
The spark between you is weak and it takes a lot of effort to communicate with each other. And in the end you usually disagree and argue. So you have no interest in spending time with them.
3. You are no longer attracted to your partner
If the chemistry between the two of you isn’t right, it’s a sure sign that you’re not in love with each other. It is important that you are attracted to your partner in order to sustain the relationship. A lack of attraction indicates the fading connection between you and your partner.
4. You don't respect your partner
If you don’t show respect to your partner, the relationship will go downhill. In a healthy relationship it is important to have trust, love and respect. Lack of respect is an indication of underlying trust issues and issues. Excessive criticism of your partner is also a red flag.
5. You don't miss your partner
Another indication that you’re not falling in love anymore is if you don’t think about your partner as often as you used to. This shows that they are no longer on your mind and are therefore no longer as important. If you go about your day and don’t feel like sharing it with your partner, it’s a sign that you don’t love each other anymore.
6. You don't want to find out
Unwillingness to resolve conflicts is a red flag. It signals that you don’t want to enter into this relationship. Differences of opinion are part of every relationship. However, if you no longer want to solve the problem, it indicates that you no longer care about your partner or that you no longer love them.
7. You are put off by your partner
When spending time with your partner feels like a chore or a burden, it means you are no longer invested in the relationship. Detachment is a clear sign that the relationship is no longer of interest or importance to you. If you’re trying too hard to be around them, it’s a sign that you’re not interested in them and probably want a breakup. In every relationship there are moments when you are annoyed or irritated by your partner. However, if you are constantly being triggered by even the smallest of things, it means you will stop falling in love. Any sign of contempt towards your partner doesn’t bode well for a relationship.
8. You don't communicate honestly with your partner
The lack of meaningful conversations is a sign that you may not love each other anymore. You no longer invest your time, effort, or emotion in your relationship.
