7 Signs Your Relationship Is Over

I’ve been there. I’m going to guess you’ve been there and may very well be right now. You’re in a relationship and there is nothing exactly wrong, but it also isn’t exactly right. And the signs a relationship is over are cropping up.But if neither one of you says anything, how do you know if the relationship is over. No matter your relationship length or depth, breakups suck. There is no arguing that. That’s why it is often difficult to see the signs a relationship is over.

There are excuses to be made for almost all of these signs. You can convince yourself you don’t see your partner due to work. You can convince yourself you are too tired for sex. And you might say, “we don’t fight,” as a sign your relationship isn’t that bad.

# You’re more like roommates than lovers

This can happen in a lot of longterm relationships, especially if you live together. You may discuss bills, dinner, and what to watch on Netflix, but it doesn’t go beyond that.A romantic relationship should add more to your life than this.

# You’d rather spend time with anyone else or alone

When you are in a happy relationship, you want to spend time with your partner. You’re excited for date nights. But if things are nearing the end, you may be looking forward to seeing friends more than your partner. And on top of that, you may find yourself preferring time alone.

We all have moments like this, but if this is happening more often than not, it could be a sign a relationship is over.

# You don’t bother arguing

This is something I have seen in just about every relationship that has ended. Instead of fighting, you both give in and just let things go. This may sound healthy, but discussing your opinions and opening up is vital for a healthy relationship.

If you have gotten to a point where you both just don’t bother to argue, you may both be checked out.

# You constantly argue

Constantly arguing can be a sign of a stressful situation. Maybe one of you lost your job or is going through something. But if your arguments are full of bickering about the laundry rather than important issues you want to work on, it is a sign you’re both on your last leg.

# The relationship feels more like work than pleasure

A relationship is work. No one ever said it wasn’t. But the good and happy stuff should be worth the effort. If it isn’t, it is a sign the relationship is over.

# Your friends have noticed a change

Right before my closest friend broke up with her ex, I noticed how much she had changed. She seemed tired and stuck. She never had anything positive to say about her boyfriend.

If your friends are mentioning anything like this to you, take note. They often know you better than you know yourself.

# You develop crushes on other people

It is normal to think someone at work is cute, but if you start developing actual feelings for someone that isn’t your partner, the relationship is over in your mind.
