“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.”
—Helen Keller
However, Love is not an eternal asset.
It is fleeting. Some maintain it perfectly on the weighing balance. But some fail to do so and it keeps oscillating in between the scale moving either up or down. There are days when the partner has elevated levels of love and there are days when the feeling just disappears.
So how can we identify when the scale dangerously tips off to one extreme of the weighing scale? Is it even possible to notice it?
The answer is yes. It becomes clearly visible when watched thoroughly. Below listed are few signs that confirm that a partner is showing a strong ‘NO’ from their side:
● Lack of appreciation:
When a person who showed gratitude and felt pride in all that you did, suddenly does not feel the need to do so, might be an indication that he/she is falling out of place. The warmth, gratitude and affection should be on par with a relationship.
● A shift in perception
A person might have been fully accomodative of the other partner in a relationship initially. However, nothing is permanent in this world except change. So based on their observance of different kinds of people around them, there might be a change in needs for the partner on their significant one. As a result, they might be falling out of love
● Constant nags and fights
If a partner feels constantly pressurised or coerced into a relationship despite the innumerous fights that happen each day, it might also be a clear indication of a relationship drifting apart for the couple. It is perfectly normal and healthy to have fights but within a limit and one that can be resolved through sometime. Anything that exceeds a certain limit is definitely unhealthy. And if the partner is more and more inclined to start pulling up silly fights for no proper reasons, then it is high time one must re-evaluate the relationship as in to check if the love is still existent or not
● No more interest in planning out things together
As a couple, it is essential to plan things to do together. It might be something as simple as sitting down to have a meal together or going for walks or watching TV together. If the partner who was doing all this, suddenly off late does not want to do any activity together nor discusses any plans of future, is clearly at a stage of reduced love in a relationship. The partner who was willing to build a future with you in the starting stage of relationship, must never forego thoughts of discussing future plans. If at all he/she does it, then definitely the sync in love is missing.
● Flawed communication
If a partner finds it difficult to communicate their needs with the partner, owing to a lack of interest in them, it is also a serious symptom of lost love. Whatever issue (big or small), a couple must sit together and discuss in length about the problem to resolve and sort it out rather than hiding it away thinking that the partner would not help them or let them down, it is also a clear light that there is something amiss in the key of relationship.
● Lost appetite for making out
A couple can get connected emotionally easily through sleeping together. If the partner has been making their best excuses upfront to intentionally put out sleeping in together sessions, it also means that there is a probability of lack of interest in the relationship for one person. Whatever maybe the problem, the only emotional bond of closeness develops when two people atleast lie down next to each other and talk about their day-to-day lives and problems.
Emotional Distance: One of the most significant signs is emotional distance. If your partner is no longer emotionally available, doesn’t engage in meaningful conversations, or seems disinterested in your life, it may be a sign of a disconnect.
As we can see from the above points that we can easily identify whether or not a person is falling out of love with us. However, to make a relationship work, just like how two hands come together to make sounds, similarly, both the partners must be equally involved to make a relationship work. Otherwise also the other partner might be a bit offended that the relationship is not working out as expected as they have to do everything single-handedly without any support whatsoever from the partner. Be a watchful house maker wherever and how you are. It is not always a bad thing too to notice the movements and behaviour of a partner.
They no longer make an effort to spend time with you. They used to be excited to see you and make plans with you, but now they seem to be avoiding you. They may make excuses not to see you, or they may cancel plans at the last minute.
They are no longer honest with you. They used to be open and honest with you, even when it was difficult. But now they seem to be keeping things from you. They may lie to you, or they may withhold information from you.
I agree with the author that love is not an eternal asset and it can fade away over time. The signs that a partner is falling out of love are often subtle, but they can be there if you know what to look for. The article does a great job of listing some of the most common signs, such as lack of appreciation, a shift in perception, constant nags and fights, no more interest in planning out things together, flawed communication, and lost appetite for making out.
If you notice any of these signs in your relationship, it’s important to talk to your partner about it. Don’t be afraid to be honest about how you’re feeling. Communication is key to any healthy relationship, and it’s especially important if you’re trying to save one that’s in trouble.
Of course, not all of these signs mean that your partner is definitely falling out of love. It’s possible that they’re just going through a tough time or that they’re feeling stressed out. But if you’re concerned, it’s always best to talk to them about it.
Thank you for sharing this article. It’s a great resource for anyone who is worried that their partner is falling out of love.
Love may be fleeting, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are a few tips to keep the love alive in your relationship:
Make time for each other. Even if you’re both busy, schedule time each week to spend together. Go on a date, take a walk, or just cuddle on the couch.
Communicate openly and honestly. Talk to each other about your needs, wants, and feelings. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable.
Express your appreciation. Let your partner know how much you love and appreciate them. Say “thank you,” give compliments, and offer small acts of kindness.
Nurture your physical connection. Intimacy is an important part of any relationship. Make time for sex, but also make time for cuddling, kissing, and other forms of physical affection.
Do things together that you both enjoy. This could be anything from going to the movies to playing games to cooking dinner together. Find activities that you both love and make time for them.
If you’re noticing any of the signs that your partner is falling out of love with you, it’s important to talk to them about it. Don’t avoid the conversation or pretend that everything is okay. Be honest about your feelings and concerns, and listen to what your partner has to say.
It’s also important to remember that love is a two-way street. If you want to keep your partner happy, you need to put in the effort as well. Make sure you’re doing your part to nurture the relationship.
If you and your partner are able to talk about your feelings and work through your problems together, you may be able to strengthen your relationship. However, if your partner is unwilling to work on things, or if you’re simply not compatible anymore, it may be time to move on.
Here are a few additional tips for identifying when your partner is falling out of love with you:
Pay attention to their body language. If your partner is avoiding eye contact, crossing their arms, or turning away from you, it could be a sign that they’re not interested in you anymore.
Listen to their tone of voice. If your partner sounds irritated, bored, or dismissive when they’re talking to you, it could be a sign that they’re not feeling the love anymore.
Notice their actions. If your partner is no longer making an effort to spend time with you, do things for you, or make you feel loved, it could be a sign that they’re falling out of love.
It’s important to remember that these are just a few signs that your partner may be falling out of love with you. If you’re concerned, the best thing to do is to talk to your partner about your concerns.
If you find yourself in a situation where your partner is falling out of love with you, it’s important to take care of yourself. Spend time with loved ones, do things you enjoy, and focus on your own happiness.
It’s also important to remember that you deserve to be loved and cherished. If your partner is unable to give you the love and respect you deserve, it’s time to move on.
Here are a few things to do if you’re in a relationship with someone who is falling out of love with you:
Talk to them about it. Communication is key in any relationship, but it’s especially important when things are difficult. Be honest about your feelings and concerns, and listen to what your partner has to say.
Try to work things out. If you’re both willing to put in the effort, it may be possible to save the relationship. However, if your partner is unwilling to work on things, or if you’re simply not compatible anymore, it may be time to move on.
Take care of yourself. It’s important to remember that you deserve to be loved and cherished. If you’re in a relationship that is making you unhappy, it’s time to focus on your own happiness. Spend time with loved ones, do things you enjoy, and focus on your own well-being.
Remember, you are not alone. Many people have been in relationships where their partner has fallen out of love with them. It’s a difficult experience, but it’s important to remember that you will get through it.
