Do you think that if you just have patience and a little more understanding, your relationship will withstand all challenges and stay together for the rest of your life? Answer these 6 eye-opening questions.
It's not uncommon (unfortunately) for people to have the illusion that they're in a relationship that requires effort, because if they're just patient, tolerant, understanding their partner's insecurities or clear signs of disrespect, "love will win" and they'll stay together for the rest of their lives.
However, there are signs that clearly indicate that the other person in the relationship does not (anymore) have the same feelings...
Why do we agree to this kind of relationship and life of lies? Either we don't know what a healthy relationship should be like or we are afraid of loneliness, but what is certain is that we don't understand when it's time to "throw up your hands" and move on.
If you found yourself in this description, you should know that you are lying to yourself. Answer these questions and your eyes will be opened!
Do you share your most intimate secrets?
Communication is the key to a healthy relationship. If you have never been able to open up to each other and say things that you wouldn't share with anyone else, then you have a problem. The sign of a true and honest relationship is only when you have a special connection with the person you love.
Do you try to appear happy in front of others?
Are you trying harder to appear happy in the eyes of others than to solve the problems you have in your relationship? The reasons are clear: either you don't want your family and friends to understand that things are not going well between you, or you are too embarrassed to tell them what the situation really is. Emotional failure should not embarrass you in front of others, but motivate you to resolve your misunderstandings.
Does your heart beat when you think about the past?
What do you feel when you think about your partner or your past together? Does your heart beat faster? Does a smile appear on your face? If you answered “no”, then it is clear that you are not bound by anything special. You should not continue with a relationship in which you no longer see anything beautiful and special, but only routine, everyday banality…
Do you feel confused all the time?
It's normal to feel this way at the beginning of your relationship, when you don't know each other yet and don't have the courage to talk about everything that's on your mind. But things should become pretty clear after a while. If after a few months of dating you're still wondering how the other person feels, you should think about whether they're really the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Are you planning a future together?
A fake relationship is one in which one or both partners do not truly believe in each other. Plans for the future are completely absent, and the relationship is based solely on the hope that you will survive despite the problems and stay together in the future.
Are you confusing lust and love?
Just because you're good in bed doesn't mean everything is going well between you. Unfortunately, magical things start in bed and end there, so you can't say you're enjoying a relationship worth fighting for in the future. Enjoy these intimate moments, but keep in mind that at some point you'll have to end the relationship if all the other key elements are missing.
