Deciding to leave a relationship or not is a tough decision. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you’re going through a rough patch or if you’re falling out of love entirely.
Luckily there are a few ways to tell if your love for your partner is dwindling. From diminished communication to developing a wandering eye, keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs the next time you wonder if you’re falling out of love with your partner.
Their imperfections start to stand out
Being in love with someone means you love all of their quirks too. In fact, a study found that small quirks can actually make a person fall deeper in love more than physical attributes can.
Sure, there may be certain things about your partner that you don’t exactly love, but they usually seem few and far in between when you’re really into them.
But if your partner’s little quirks and imperfections have started making you more annoyed than charmed, it could mean you’re falling out of love.
Communication diminishes
A good relationship is built on strong communication with active listening.
If communication between you and your partner diminishes, and you start to hide your concerns about the relationship or discuss your concerns with friends instead of going to your partner directly, you may need to re-evaluate the relationship.
You develop a wandering eye
When you love someone, you can’t stop staring at them. It’s one thing to notice another attractive person, but if the streets suddenly seem to be swarming with potential lovers, you may be becoming curious about testing the waters with someone new.
