Do yourself a favor and beat him to the finish line by kicking him to the curb. He stopped doing that. Making you swoon with jokes? Though this can be chalked up to feeling comfortable in a relationship, the truth is that neither partner should ever stop chasing.
You both seem to have more bad days than good ones. This is a sign you should probably be dumping him. Relationships are supposed to make you feel better, not worse. Is he actively scoping out new girls? Did you catch him on Tinder, chatting up women? You no longer factor into his future plans. Confrontation is avoided at all costs. Instead of confronting issues, everything is swept under a rug. This is a recipe for disaster, no matter what way you cut it.
This usually happens when you feel like asking your main squeeze for affection is too difficult. The smallest things set him off. Every day is an explosion of anger and vitriol from his mouth.
If you are unable to talk to your partner about anything contentious without having an argument, then it's a big warning sign to get out, notes dating expert James Preece. This is common in relationships that are nearing an end, notes Mason Roantree. You might even stop doing things you enjoy in order to keep your partner happy.
Relationships can be mundane at times, but they should also be fun. At least they should be if they are going to last, says Preece. You should feel happy about spending time with your partner. Some couples are like chalk and cheese, but they have a great relationship. For others, differences can be too big, and you have to ask yourself whether you really want to make such huge sacrifices, notes Mason Roantree.
No matter how much you love your partner, it's a major red flag if everyone else around you thinks differently, notes Preece. If you bring up a concern with your partner, but your partner becomes defensive, things can quickly go south. Sometimes, your so-called sweetie may resort to "cross complaining," or "whataboutism" — which is when the other person doesn't respond to your concerns but instead introduces a new complaint as a retort.
For example, you might say, "Hey, it bothered me when you dumped your dirty laundry on the bed. The last of the Four Horsemen is stonewalling. The term basically means that the person withdraws from the interaction, in effect stonewalling instead of participating in the conversation.
If your partner stonewalls when you bring up issues that are important to you or your relationship, that's a red flag that tells you that perhaps it's best to end things. The official term is "intimate partner violence," which can happen any time there is an act of physical aggression or violence against a romantic partner that is designed to cause harm and is unwanted by the partner, Slotter said.
There are multiple types of intimate partner violence, according to Michael Johnson, an emeritus professor of sociology, women's studies and African and African American studies at Penn State.
One of those types is intimate terrorism, or violence designed to control and manipulate a partner. Another type of physical abuse is situational couple violence, in which partners resort to minor but still harmful violence when a conflict gets out of hand. Like physical abuse, emotional abuse can take a toll.
Psychological abuse can involve insults, belittling, constant humiliation, intimidation such as destroying things , threats of harm and threats of taking away children, according to the World Health Organization. Moreover, psychological aggression is a predictor that a person will later use physical aggression when lashing out against their partner, a study in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology found. So, take care of yourself, and dump your significant other if you're being emotionally abused.
Do you and your partner follow different religions? Or is one of you a spendthrift and the other a cheapskate? Or do you hold diametrically opposed political beliefs? All of these potentially explosive issues can affect whether we see ourselves as similar or dissimilar to our partners, Slotter said. When you first meet a potential love interest, "the more similar they are to us, the more we tend to like them," Slotter said.
This holds true for everything from hobbies to demographics to, yes, religious and political beliefs. If I perceive my partner as like me, that's a big satisfaction for me in the relationship.
