7 Signs You And Your Partner Have No Future Together

Sep 24, 2018

You should probably start packing your bags if you have found yourself in the type of relationship we are about to describe.

If you are living in a relationship that is not progressing forward and is making you unhappy, you need to get out of it as soon as you can. You will feel better being by yourself than in a relationship that keeps causing you pain.

Sure, it may be one of the hardest decisions of your life. But it will be worth it in the end, for both you and your partner.

There are a number of things that no relationship can function without. Check out this list and compare it to your current relationship to see for yourself whether or not you should leave.

1. No Acceptance in the Relationship

Accepting another person for who they are is critical to any relationship. A loving significant other will always accept you no matter what. They won’t try to transform you into someone or something you are not. Of course, we all have our negative traits.

Your loved one doesn’t have to celebrate them, but they should be at least more accepting of any of your flaws than most. They should never judge you for doing the things you love.

For example, you shouldn’t be forced to watch the entire baseball series when you hate the game, just as your partner shouldn’t have to watch the latest reality show with you because they find it boring.

Being respectful of the choices of your loved one is important in every relationship, no matter how you personally feel about it.

2. Lack of Empathy

Relationships have problems and issues. It’s not all happy days and smiles; we are often faced with medical issues, money problems, and other difficulties. Your partner should empathize with you when you are having problems. A good partner will also try and find solutions to your troubles instead of dismissing them and you.

A big indicator that the relationship will not work is if they refuse to give you their support during a tough time in your life.

3. Feeling Lonely in Your Relationship

If you aren’t in a relationship, it is normal to feel lonely at times. However, feeling lonely while you are in an actual relationship means that something is definitely wrong. You’ll want to watch out for these signs:

4.You’re Not on the Same Page

Everyone in a relationship will come across times that you aren’t on the same page as each other. For example, you may wish to take a few years and travel while your partner wants to settle down and have a baby.

If you cannot resolve your conflicts and you never seem to be on the same page, this is a sign you need to talk to one another about your future together. It’s okay to have different interests, but you have to decide whether or not you can still manage a life together despite them.

5. One-Sided Relationship

Most relationships start out great. You both give and take to each other and want to make the other happy. This is a successful start, but it has to keep up in order to maintain the relationship for good.

Both parties must always put in an equal amount of time and effort to make their partner happy. Everyone needs to sacrifice for the other now and again. When one person does too much in the relationship and the other will not meet them halfway, this is a sure sign the relationship will not work out.

6. No Trust

One of the most important parts of a relationship is trust. Do you find yourself mistrusting your partner more and more? Are you suspicious of what they are doing when you aren’t around? Checking their messages and phone calls constantly isn’t a good sign at all. You may choose to stay and give them the benefit of the doubt in order to try and save the relationship.

But if you can never trust your loved one, the relationship is more than likely doomed.

7. When Your Motivation is Gone

If you have come to a point where you and your partner do not wish to sort out your problems and differences, then it is probably best to say goodbye and end the relationship. If the relationship is stagnant, there is no reason to keep trying.

This is especially true if you find you don’t want to spend time with your partner or dread being with them.

A lot of people are afraid to be the one to end the relationship. They do not want to hurt the other person, or they are afraid they will end up sad and lonely. However, being lonely is better than being in a relationship just because you are afraid to leave. It doesn’t make anyone happy.

Of course, you should always communicate with your partner about your feelings and try to make it work. If you love someone, it takes time and effort to keep the relationship fresh and happy. However, you should always tell them how you feel without hurting them if possible. They deserve to know. We wish you the best of luck!
