Worn-out relationships: how to detect that all is lost?
We all want to have someone by our side who loves and respects us. Our partner should be our support when we need it and who should make us spend really incredible intimate moments. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, this does not always happen, and then it is necessary to rethink the situation..
But, how can we know if we are in the right relationship? What signs tell us that we should stand up and go in search of a new dawn? In this text you will find the answers to these questions.
Are you really the person I want to be with?
Now, making the decision to leave your partner is not an easy decision, and before turning your head over things that are not, the best thing to do is to talk to your partner so that he or she can tell you his or her point of view. Many times conflicts are solved with the right communication..
The relationship with your partner can be variable, because everyone has their own point of view and beliefs, and sometimes the problems are not perceived in the same way by both actors in the relationship.
So before rushing off, think about whether it is possible to solve it and whether it is worth going to couples therapy. If you want to know when it is time to go to marital therapy, you just have to visit our article: "How to know when to go to couple's therapy? 5 compelling reasons".
Couple's conflicts
Conflicts between people are normal, at work, with the family and, of course, with our partner.. The reasons why couples have conflicts can be many and varied, but what is really harmful is not to solve them in time, because it can create a snowball effect.
It often happens that at first, because of falling in love, we overlook our personal needs, interests and preferences, in order to be at the service of our new love. But, as time goes by, we focus on ourselves again, something that can generate a power struggle. This is a phenomenon that occurs with some frequency among couples who did not acquire the necessary emotional tools during courtship to solve the daily problems that the couple may face. This can lead to a situation in which the couple has no future.

Signs that you're in the wrong relationship
Now then, what is it that can make you doubt about your relationship? What is it that can make you think if you have made a mistake being with this person? These 6 points can provide you with valuable information to help you rethink your situation or not.
1. You are no longer yourself
When things aren't going well, it can affect you deeply.. Everything that was there when the relationship started is gone, and with it the two people who loved each other are gone. You may think that he or she no longer treats you the same, but maybe you don't treat yourself the same either.
You've stopped being who you were and you've let go of everything that motivated you. Maybe it's time to distance yourself and get back to your best self. If you don't love yourself, it's hard to be loved.
2. Conflicts are part of the daily routine
As has been said, conflicts can arise when we live with other people, it is part of human nature. Sometimes you may be to blame and sometimes the other person. Conflicts, in fact, can be opportunities to strengthen the relationship and grow together.
However, when we enter into a negative dynamic, in which everyone goes their own way and communication is null, can create a situation from which it is very difficult to get out.. Assimilating the idea that arguments and outbursts of anger are part of everyday life with the other person does nothing more than create artificial conflicts, generate a normalization of the problem and make the feeling of expectation of constant anger dominate.
Of course, this is a vicious circle that is difficult to break out of when it has been going on for a long time. Even more so when one of you loses respect for the other.
3. You have an intimate life that is not very active or unsatisfactory.
The intimate life can be a reflection of the fact that something is not going well. and can also be a point of conflict if it is unsatisfactory. Many people complain that the flame between the two has gone out, because the lovers do not care to keep it burning.
Now, if you notice that your partner is cold to you and does not see you with the same eyes, something may be going through his or her mind. In these cases, even if it is difficult, the best thing to do is to talk about it.
4. You are constantly trying to prove yourself
You may notice that this is not what it used to be and you blame yourself because things are not working out the way you wanted them to.. The relationship is seen as a contest in which you are alone against a series of challenges, often set by your partner. This generates stressful situations and a feeling of loneliness that does not cease.
Don't make the mistake of blaming only yourself, because the relationship is a two-way affair. If you think that you alone are to blame, you are probably trying to compensate in some way. If you don't feel loved, let your partner know.
5. You have the constant feeling that something is not working
We can't just rely on what we think, but sometimes our intuition doesn't fail us. He is hiding something from you, you sense that he is not entirely sincere and for some reason you know it. These kinds of things make us doubt and make us think that something might be happening.. If you have this feeling, tactfully find a way to get the other person to state his or her opinion on the matter.
6. You feel emotionally distant
It may happen that you are living with that person but in reality you feel lonely.. He/she doesn't listen to you, doesn't tell you things and you notice that he/she is distant. The strange thing is that before it was not like that, but now it seems that you live with someone else, with the one you fell in love with precisely because of the degree of intimacy you gained with someone. If he/she doesn't show you affection, why do you want to continue with that person? Does the relationship have a future?
