This is a follow up of my previous post titled “Ways to save your relationship when your partner is slipping away”. Just before you start implementing the steps shared in the previous post it is first and foremost important to know when your partner is beginning to lose interest in the relationship. Ogasabi of 9AM News Nigeria wishes to use this post to share some hints and cues that indicate your partner may already be getting bored and weary with the relationship.
It can be disheartening to suspect that your partner is losing interest in your relationship. Nobody wants to contemplate a future without the person they love. This is why it is crucial to address any issues early on before they escalate into irreparable damage. The signs of a partner losing interest can be subtle and may initially seem harmless in the context of a relationship. It is important not to become complacent and to address any concerns before it’s too late.
1. New Obsessions:
If your partner suddenly develops a new obsession that takes up most of their time, it could be a sign that they are using it as a distraction from the relationship.
2. Lack of Interest in Cuddling:
Reduced or lack of cuddling could suggest a decline in emotional intimacy and connection.
3. Decline in Communication:
Communication becoming less frequent. If he/she used to call you at least or thrice daily, they may now become comfortable to stay without hearing from you for one, two or even three days. This might suggest emotional disengagement from the relationship.
4. Decreased Eye Contact:
Reduced eye contact can be a sign of diminishing emotional connection and value within the relationship.
5. Absence of Physical Affection:
When your partner stops holding your hand or engaging in other forms of physical contact, it could signify a lack of interest in closeness.
6. Disinterest in Your Day:
If your partner no longer asks about your day, it could signal a general lack of interest in your life.
7. Avoiding Uncomfortable Conversations:
Refusing to discuss difficult topics may indicate a reluctance to address issues within the relationship.
8. Failure to Discuss the Future:
Avoiding discussions about the future may imply a lack of commitment to long-term plans.
9. Neglecting Their Appearance Around You:
When your partner stops making an effort to maintain their appearance, it may indicate a lack of concern for your attraction to them.
10. Superficial Conversations:
Shallow discussions that avoid addressing relationship issues could indicate a lack of depth in communication.
11. Discomfort Around Happy Couples:
Feeling uncomfortable or annoyed around happy couples may suggest underlying issues within the relationship.
It is crucial to address these warning signs early on and communicate openly with your partner. Ignoring these signs can lead to irreparable damage to the relationship. Remember, you deserve a partner who values and respects you. Don’t wait until it’s too late to address these concerns.
