How do you know when your relationship is in trouble

How do you know when your relationship is in trouble?

A relationship is in trouble when one or both people stop respecting each other.

Disrespect results in contempt for the other person. This may result in eye-rolling when the other person comments on something they’re doing or something that has been said.

When one or both people become critical of each other.

At first, it begins in the mind and then it results in verbal criticism because the critical partner has dwelled on the negatives of the other person until they can no longer hold it in.

Criticism can also result in defensiveness when an issue needs to be discussed.

When one or both people stop communicating.

What this looks like is both people going about their day without communicating or only communicating when necessary.

When one or both people stop being affectionate when there was a time they would cuddle, hold hands and or embrace each other at the end of their day.

When an issue is raised and instantly it results in heightened conflict.

This results in one or both people walking on eggshells around each other.

When one person suspects the other person is cheating on them and keeps close tabs on their partner’s phone, how often their partner is on their phone, or other devices, questions their partner’s movements during the day of where they went and or who they spoke to.

Doesn’t believe their partner’s answers.

When one or both people are reactive to issues or things that happen in the home unnecessarily because of underlying resentment towards the other person.
