9 Signs Your Partner Is Falling In Love With Someone Else
By: Kratika Thu, 14 July 2022 6:33:55
When we choose to be with someone in a serious relationship, we have the feeling that this is the one. You know what I mean, the relationship that’s going to be till the end of time. In many cases, this is true, and people stay together until they’re old and grey. But people are emotional, and we all know that emotions can change. Listen, if you see signs your partner is falling in love with someone else, you should know one thing: no one wants to fall out of love with their partner.
This usually isn’t the first thing that comes to people’s minds when they’re in a relationship. Being on either side of the coin sucks. Trust me, I’ve experienced both sides.
# You feel it
Like I mentioned above, you feel that something’s going on. I know, I know, you’re thinking, but that’s not good enough. Actually, it’s a pretty good indicator that something is going on. Does it mean that your partner is falling in love with someone? No. But it does mean that something fishy is happening.
# They stopped sharing emotions
As a couple, you’re used to talking about deep emotions with each other. But now, your partner doesn’t seem to be so forthcoming with their emotions. If anything, they’re acting cold. If you’re left guessing about their feelings, it sounds like their emotions are directed to someone else.
# They only want to have sex
You used to have deep conversations, go on dates, kiss in public, but, now, your partner only wants to have sex with you. This isn’t intimacy, this is just sex. You can have sex with anyone and not be intimate. Your partner may be trying to cover themselves up but the fact that they’re avoiding intimacy is a dead giveaway.
# They get defensive
When you ask them about a specific person or question them on specific behavior, they get quickly defensive. A simple question of, what did you do last night? can turn into a huge argument started by them.
# They avoid spending time with you
You used to have date nights but all of a sudden, they’re too busy to meet up with you. Of course, everyone needs their alone time, but this doesn’t mean that you should feel like you’re alone in this relationship.
If your partner is actively spending less time with you, it shows you that they’re not interested in spending time with you. Why would that be?
# They’re suddenly really into a specific hobby
Sure, your partner used to run once a week, but now, they’re really into going to the running club every day of the week. Of course, if they’re training for a marathon, that’s different, but if they’re really into a hobby all of a sudden, there’s a reason why.
# They ghost you
Ugh, I’m so over ghosting. Honestly, ghosts are people that are scared to communicate their feelings to others. Your partner usually doesn’t ignore your texts or reply hours later, but you’ve noticed a change. If they’re ghosting you, it’s because they already have eyes on someone new.
If they don’t feel the need to keep you updated, it’s because they’re keeping someone else updated on their plans.
# There’s no more intimacy
You used to cuddle on the couch together, talk for hours, hold hands, have regular sex, but lately, there’s been none of that. If your partner has been distancing themselves when it comes to giving and receiving affection, something is definitely going on. Intimacy is what makes two people bond and when someone avoids it, something isn’t adding up.
# They’re doing something new
Now, if someone wants to start working out, this doesn’t mean that they’re in love with someone else. But if this sign comes with a couple of the others on this list, then it’s something to look into. Your partner started to dress better, they’re working out, they’re going out more. Strange, right?
