Sometimes when you\u2019re settled in a relationship, things can feel like you\u2019re running through the motions. Maybe you can\u2019t pinpoint when it started, but your partner is beginning to annoy you. They\u2019re not trying to, but you can\u2019t help rolling your eyes at them. The hard truth is that you might be falling out of love. It\u2019s a hard realization to come to, but it may be that you don\u2019t feel the way you once did.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure of how you\u2019re feeling, here are seven common signs you\u2019re falling out of love that may shed some light on where you are in your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The fighting never ends.
\n<\/b>Fighting is never fun, but it\u2019s an important and necessary way for couples to resolve disagreements. That said, if fights occur frequently or your intent is to heap blame on your partner, they\u2019re a problem. Reflect and see if you can understand why the fights are occurring. Are you trying to resolve the issue at hand or are the fights a way to stir up emotions that you aren\u2019t verbalizing? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Saying \u201cI love you\u201d hurts.
\n<\/b>When you first say \u201cI love you\u201d to a partner, the phrase has a way of becoming your every other sentence. Now, when your partner says it to you, you say it only out of obligation or to avoid awkwardness. The phrase feels like a lie. Verbal affirmation of love is so ingrained in our culture it\u2019s unavoidable. If you feel the need to withhold this affection, it\u2019s likely indicative of something deeper happening in your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your partner\u2019s habits and quirks annoy you.
\n<\/b>When you started dating, you found the high pitched squeak in your partner\u2019s laugh adorable. Now, it\u2019s the most annoying sound imaginable. When you\u2019re falling out of love, it\u2019s easy to see everything your partner does as a personal affront. Most times when we have a judgement or annoyance, it\u2019s an unresolved feeling that we ourselves are carrying. If you\u2019re having a hard time being around your partner, see if you\u2019re projecting these feelings on them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Anything takes priority over spending time with your partner.
\n<\/b>It\u2019s healthy and normal for you to have friends outside of your relationship, but it\u2019s also important to prioritize spending time with your partner. During relationship burnout, some people will keep every inch of their schedule booked with an activity to avoid hanging out with their partner. If you\u2019re intentionally excluding quality time with your partner, there\u2019s something going on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. There\u2019s a lot less physical intimacy.
\n<\/b>After the honeymoon phase is over, usually couples have less sex. That\u2019s totally okay, as long as it serves both of your libidos. If sex stops altogether, that\u2019s a different story. Sexless relationships are a pretty reliable sign that the love is fizzling. Beyond sex, nonsexual physical contact is also an important way that couples bond. Shrinking away from your partner\u2019s hand on your shoulder is also a sign things are going sour.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. You\u2019re not sure if there\u2019s a future together.
\n<\/b>Sometimes when a partner falls out of love, they\u2019ll avoid making future plans, because they fear breaking a promise or investing money in anticipation of a breakup. A good litmus for this is the concert ticket test. Would you spend $100 dollars to go with your partner to a concert three months out? If the answer is no, you might be harboring some unresolved feelings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. You\u2019re attracted to other people.
\n<\/b>It\u2019s perfectly normal to be attracted to other people when you\u2019re in a relationship. Attractive people don\u2019t stop existing, because you\u2019re in a committed relationship. However, if you regularly fantasize about romantically engaging with people you cross paths with, you might be treading into dangerous territory. Take a look and see whether there has actually been an increase in attractive people in your orbit or if it\u2019s a deficiency in your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these are common signs that you may be falling out of love, there\u2019s only one way to tell for sure\u2014take a deep look at yourself and your relationship. After the honeymoon phase ends, there\u2019s always a lull in the relationship. It\u2019s up to you and your partner to decide if the relationship is worth pursuing once the rose-colored glasses are off. Sometimes, the correct answer is to move on. Other times, you\u2019ll have to work to keep the love alive. Remember: no relationship is perfect, and you only get what you put in. Only you can make the call if your relationship is in a lull or it\u2019s something to move on from, and only you have the right answer. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
