It really is the worst to realize that out of nowhere, your relationship is dying. It's the hardest part of being in love, and it happens. However things might just be for the better. If you're having a hard time putting your relationship into perspective, here are 8 ways to tell when your relationship is dying so you can better understand what to do or what to expect:

1. You can’t go to sleep at night peacefully because of unresolved issues.

You need to communicate and be willing to talk things out if you want a strong relationship. If you feel like there’s a lot of things on your mind before you sleep, you will feel unsatisfied and lonely.

2. Things are becoming more and more hidden.

There is a lack of transparency behind the actions and motives you have with one another.

3. Fights that are hardly worth being upset about are taken extremely seriously.

When the fight and grow mindset is no longer there. You just argue for the sake of venting out your frustrations instead of sitting down to talk about it.

4. You feel unsure about their loyalty, and the relationship.

An obvious one, but if you’re not sure how they’re feeling about you, speak up and let them know that you are feeling insecure with them. Hopefully, they’ll clarify what they’ve been feeling and/or thinking.

5. Time isn’t made to spend time together.

One person is always too busy to spend time with you, and they don’t reassure you why. That’s not how it’s supposed to be. There is a difference when a person is interested enough to put in the effort to make time.

6. You wonder if it’s better for you to just be in a different relationship, it’s the start of cheating.

When you catch yourself wondering about being in another relationship with a new person, you know you’re not happy with what you have. Either start being grateful, or really do everyone a favor and let them know.

7. Conversations are repetitive and uninteresting.

It’s hard to even be friends more or less girlfriend and boyfriend. Fun is still necessary for a relationship regardless of what’s going on. You don’t think it’s just a dry spell, but rather a decline in interest in the other.

8. When you talk to your significant other about these relationship problems and they’re unable to prove to you that they really care about improving.

It could unfortunately mean that they’re not willing to resuscitate the weakened relationship. It is hard to see someone you care about lose interest in you, but if you did nothing wrong, take it as a sign that eventually this was going to happen.

Unfortunately, life moves on; people change, and the good ones come and go. It's nothing that you should go out of your way to try to stop. If the other person decides that it's not worth continuing, as hard as it is, you must try to convince yourself that there are better things waiting for you. Don't let the person who doesn't love you stop you from finding someone who does. Fix things when you can, but don't think it will be the end of the world. Fix yourself before you fix others.
