If we compare a relationship to a fire, we can say that it starts out with a spark (of interest) and is fueled by passion, togetherness and compromise. But like a real fire, if we do not keep adding fuel, can it continue to burn? Surely a fire cannot burn nothingness. This is why it is important to form a relationship with someone you have things in common with because it is these commonalities that will keep the fire burning and the relationship growing.
5 Signs your relationship is on its last
1. You both find it difficult to find things to talk about.
It takes two to make a relationship work, it also takes at least two persons, unless you are talking back to the voices in your head to keep a real conversation going. Some relationships comprise of couples who have the very vocal partner and the partner who is always the listener. If your relationship did not start out this way, be wary.
2. You and your partner cannot seem to find a common ground.
When they said “opposites attract”, this was not what they meant. If you’ve found that both you and your partner always want different things and can’t seem to agree on anything this could just be a sign that you are both tired of each other and are really trying to disagree on things purposefully so that you can argue about what is really on your minds.
3. You no longer make enough plans that involve each other.
If you realise that as of recent you are always making plans to hang out with your friends and family and avoid making plans to hang out with each other then you are both obviously tired of being around each other.
4. You start finding “lovey dovey” couples annoying
Face it, you’re mostly jealous of what the other couple has than disgusted with their public display of affection.
5. You no longer desire to be intimate with each other
Remember at the beginning of your intimate relationship, you both could not keep your hands off each other? Well now the kisses are shorter and passionless and the hugs no longer serve their purpose. If this is not how your intimate relationship was before then something is definitely wrong. This could mean so many different things.
Before calling it quits, think back to the time your relationship (fire) was at its peak (burnt the brightest). If any of the signs mentioned above speak about how your relationship was from the very beginning of your relationship, then maybe that is what works for both you and your partner. If you believe that your relationship is worth saving then read: How to Save Your Relationship.
