Signs you are falling out of love

There is no worse feeling than waking up one day and realizing that you no longer feel the same way about someone who you once thought was your world. It's in that moment that all of us think that we either want to keep fighting for what we once had or let that person go and allow yourself to move on. There is no worst pain than looking back and wishing you cut off a relationship sooner becuase you are blocking new people and new love interests from entering your life.

Sometimes when we look at our relationships, we tend to get tunnel vision and believe that there would be no happy life without that person; I promise you that's not true. If the two of you are truly meant to be together then you will work it out or you won't. Either way, it's important to remember that yes, breakups are scary and painful but in order to let go, you have to let go.

Warning* Don't read these signs if you aren't ready to think too deeply about your relationship.

Here are some signs that you are falling out of love:

1. A future with them no longer aligns with your long term goals. Why are you with someone if they aren't aligned with what you want in the future? You are consciously deciding to do something that is not going to help you reach the version of you, you want to be. That's silly and called self-sabotaging.

2. You no longer see yourself reaching for their assistance when you need help There is no better and worse feeling than knowing you don't need and or want your partner's help anymore. Small tasks seem mundane when they help and big tasks are no longer partner activities but seen as independent work.

3. You'd rather be alone than talk to them You no longer invite them over for dates or want to spend copious amounts of time with them. Your physical and emotional selves are no longer connecting.

4. You no longer see any point in arguing back You know you've given up when you see no point in arguing back or commenting back in any difficult conversations.

5. It hurts you more to hold on than it does to let go. Short term it must feel like it would hurt way too much to let go, but the complete opposite is true; holding on too tightly now hurts too much.

6. You start having thoughts about other people. Cheating is never an excuse and never ever something you should do, no matter the situation, but you start to see people differently which should tell you to end the relationship immediately.

7. They are no longer a prevalent person on your mind If you can go a full day without thinking about them or a full day without texting or calling them, you're in trouble.

8. You no longer see them as a priority in your life Yes, it is common as we get older for priorities to change, but a relationship with someone should always be one of your top 3 and if it's not then maybe you should question if you're in the right relationship at all.

9. Any or all of the above are true.
