10 Most Obvious Signs a Relationship Will Not Last

All relationships go through ups and downs. Some things that you may think are signs a relationship will not last could just be passing moments, and things you believe are keeping you together could be tearing you apart.

So many relationships end abruptly. It makes the heartbreak worse. You go through a stage of shock before even getting to mourning the loss of the relationship.

To avoid that and perhaps handle a breakup more smoothly, learn how to spot the signs a relationship won’t last or at least not continue happily. This can help things end easier. If you figure out these signs soon enough, you may be able to work to make things better

# You spend all your time together

You might think this sounds like a happy relationship, but couples that ditch plans with friends for each other even up becoming codependent. When you only rely on each other for all your needs, things get really dysfunctional.

# You can’t be yourself

If you feel like your partner judges you, you’ll never truly be happy with them. You’ll question what you say or do around them. It isn’t about hurting their feelings, it’s about you. Being with someone when you can’t be yourself can make you question yourself.

# You don’t talk enough

So the chemistry is there, but you never talk? That’s nice for a fling or if you don’t want an actual relationship, but that isn’t sustainable.

If you don’t talk about important things, you’ll never grow together or really be a partnership.

# You don’t like or trust their friends

Who your partner is friends with says a lot about them. The people you surround yourself with influence you. If you don’t like or trust your partner’s friends, what does it say about them? Are they a different person around you versus them? Why don’t you trust them?

# You’ve changed for them

Whether you’ve decided to live in the city when you hate it or kept your hair long because they prefer it, letting them change you on any level can be very unhealthy. Eventually, it will get to you because you could lose yourself in the relationship.

# You’re not equals

A relationship needs to have respect. You must respect each other. Each of your opinions should be taken into account for big decisions. If your partner talks down to you or ignores what you have to say, things are wildly unbalanced and that won’t work for long.

# You want to fix them

You adore your boo. They are funny and charming and great in bed. But they never text back, cancel plans last minute, and leave you waiting around.

These are behaviors you cannot change. All the things you love about them and all the good times will not change them. You cannot fix someone who doesn’t want to be fixed.
