7 Ways To Tell If You Are Not Happy In A Relationship Even If You Love Them

It may not be easy to admit, but relationships are not all rainbows and sunshine. We know there are fights and good and bad days, but can it be fixed when you are truly not happy in a relationship? Or should you move on?

A relationship should bring you happiness. Of course, life isn’t always that simple. But, should you give up because you’re not happy in a relationship or fight for the relationship?

# You are frequently annoyed

Does everything your partner does annoy you? It could be leaving their socks on the living room floor, never helping with household chores, or just the way they chew their food.

If you find that your partner’s habits are frequently grating on your nerves, then you are most likely unhappy in your relationship.

# You don’t feel like yourself

If you have lost sight of who you really are – or who you were before this relationship – then that’s not good.

Maybe you liked yourself more before you started dating your significant other. If so, maybe they have brought out the “worst” in you. That’s not how a healthy relationship should be. Your partner should bring out the best in you and make you a better person.

# You feel like you don’t spend enough time together

Maybe you feel emotionally or physically abandoned. You might even live together, but if they are always in another room or doing something else without you, then that is not good.

In a healthy relationship, people should prioritize spending quality time with each other such as going on regular date nights.

# Your partner doesn’t care about your needs

If you feel like your significant other only cares about themselves and not you, then they are very selfish. It’s not okay if your needs are ignored.

You might have grown accustomed to it out of necessity. And maybe you’re a natural “giver” in a relationship, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be happy in the relationship or have your own needs met too.

# Your sex life is less than desirable

Everyone has their own natural sex drive. But if you feel sexually deprived – or pressured to have too much sex – then that is not a good sign of a normal relationship.

The two of you should be on the same page as to the frequency and the type of sex you have. So, if you’re feeling negative about your sexual connection, then you are probably unhappy in the relationship.

# You feel like the relationship is one-sided

You know you have problems in your relationship, so you are constantly trying to fix things. But you are the only one who is trying.

Every time you talk to your partner about trying to make your relationship better, it falls on deaf ears. You feel like you are the only one doing any sort of work to keep the relationship alive.

# You are fighting a lot

There is always going to be a certain level of conflict in relationships. However, it’s how you handle them that determines the health of the partnership.

So, if you feel like all you ever do is fight with your significant other, then that is draining. You will always feel on the defense and that is a toxic environment.
