Every relationship goes through ups and downs. Some things that you may think are signs a relationship will not last could just be a trying moments, and things you believe are keeping you together could be tearing you apart.
Nowadays, so many relationships end abruptly. It makes the heartbreak worse. You go through a stage of shock before even getting to mourning the loss of the relationship.
To avoid that and perhaps handle a breakup more smoothly, learn how to spot the signs a relationship won’t last or at least not continue happily. This can help things end easier. If you notice these signs soon enough, you may be able to work to make things better and make your relationship healthier.
I will like to state here that these signs are not all 100% certainties, and if you don’t notice these, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re good to go.
The signs a relationship will not last are not sure things. However, they can clue you into the deeper aspects of your relationship so you can decide whether to try harder or cut your losses now. Below are the signs:
1️⃣ TRUST ISSUE
Trust is so important in a relationship. It is what keeps you coming back to each other at the end of a hard day or after an argument. It is what makes your relationship add to your life instead of taking from it. If there is trust issue between you and your partner it means the relationship won't last long.
2️⃣ IF YOUR OPINION IS NOT VALUE/NEGLECTED
A relationship needs to have respect. You must respect each other. Each of your opinions should be taken into account for big decisions. If your partner talks down to you or ignores what you have to say, things are wildly unbalanced and that won’t work for long.
3️⃣ ONE OR BOTH OF YOU STILL HUNG UP ON THE PAST.
Still not over an ex? Are they letting their past relationship dictate how yours goes? That will not work. Say their ex cheated on them. Now they feel the need to control everything you do and have to know where you are at all times. That is not okay.
4️⃣ JEALOUSY
Everyone gets jealous once in a while. Maybe you’re jealous of their friends or their job or their cute co-worker. That is okay. As long as you communicate it, and are reassured.
5️⃣ IF YOU’RE HOLDING BACK
If you feel like you can’t share how you feel whether it’s positive or negative, that most likely won’t get better. When you feel like you can’t speak up with the person you’re in a relationship with, it will only get worse.
6️⃣ IF YOU ARE EMBARRASSED BY UR PARTNER BEHAVIOUR
This isn’t about being embarrassed by their poor dance moves, but of them as a person. Maybe you think they don’t make enough money or aren’t smart enough. These things will not go away with time.
7️⃣ YOU CHANGED FOR UR PARTNER
Whether you’ve decided to live in the city when you hate it or kept your hair long because they prefer it, letting them change you on any level can be very unhealthy. Eventually, it will get to you because you could lose yourself in the relationship.
8️⃣ YOU DON’T TALK ENOUGH
If the chemistry is there, but you never talk? That’s nice for a fling or if you don’t want an actual relationship, but that isn’t sustainable.
If you don’t talk about important things, you will never grow together or really be a good partner.
