- Sometimes you can feel like your partner is no longer attracted to you.
- This can be concerning but sometimes there are other causes.
- It's important to communicate with your partner and focus on yourself.
Feeling like the person you're in a relationship with is no longer attracted to you can be difficult to manage and tough to process.
But, there may be a deeper reason you're feeling this way, and sometimes it has nothing to do with your relationship or your partner's attraction to you.
Here are nine things you can consider trying if you're starting to feel like your partner is no longer attracted to you.
Focus on your own self-worth.
If you're doubting whether or not your partner is attracted to you, it might be best to focus on how you feel about yourself instead.
According to Daniella Bloom, LMFT LA's premiere divorcée success coach and dating expert, if you think that your partner has lost interest in you, thinking better of yourself may help that.
"The basic principle we understand from Law of Attraction is 'like attracts like,'" Bloom told INSIDER. "Our partners mirror what we feel about ourselves on a regular basis. When you start to show up differently for yourself, either your partner will stop and take favorable notice, or, someone else who is far better suited for you, will instead."
Remind your partner why they were attracted to you from the start.
When you encounter this issue, Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola, relationship experts and authors of "How to Keep your Marriage from Sucking," suggest using actions to remind your partner why you started dating in the first.
"To reignite attraction, lean in to attractive actions to remind you and your partner of why they were attracted to you in the first place," Behrendt and Ruotola told INSIDER.
"... Create an environment to be alone together to reconnect doing something you used to do when you were a new couple, even if it's just watching a movie, going to bed early, and sleeping until you're actually rested."
Make an effort to understand your partner's needs.
When we feel victimized in relationships, it can be tough to keep a positive attitude and to acknowledge your own actions and behaviors.
Because of that, Behrendt and Ruotola suggest that you keep an open mind as you ask yourself what you may have missed when it comes to your partner and the disconnection you feel.
"Attraction wanes with disconnection, resentment, and even just time, but the flames can be fanned or extinguished depending on your actions and attitude," they told INSIDER.
