Your relationship has been going well. You see your partner often. You are affectionate and loving towards each other, but you’ve noticed a change in your partner. Could it be the signs someone is pushing you away?
Something feels a little off. You’re not quite sure what it is. Maybe they’re just stressed with work or exams. Or maybe it’s something else.
Now, you don’t want to jump to conclusions right away without looking at the signs. If you notice more than a couple of these signs in your relationship, your partner could be pushing you away.
It’s not what anyone wants to hear, but it’s important you find out what’s going on.
1. They don’t listen to you
When you talk to them, they don’t really seem like they’re listening. Before, when you would tell them about your day, they would take an interest. But now, it seems like a huge inconvenience to them to even hear what you have to say.
2. They avoid you
You call them, but it takes them hours to call you back. And when you do get a hold of them, there’s not much of a conversation. You ask to hang out, but there’s always a reason as to why they can’t. If they’re avoiding you, it’s for a good reason and one that you need to investigate.
3. You feel something’s changed
You can’t put your finger on it, but you know something is up. When you’re around them, you don’t feel the love and affection you once shared, and that’s a big problem. No matter what you do or how you try to make them feel good, nothing seems to work. It’s not you; it’s them.
4. They no longer communicate with you
You are still talking, barely, and when you do talk, it’s very shallow. They’re no longer telling you about the personal things going on in their life; instead, they keep the conversation very basic and simple -it makes you wonder why.
5. They spend more time alone
Well, at least that’s what they tell you. Whenever you check in with them, they’re always doing something on their own. Now, this wouldn’t be strange if they were always like this, but they weren’t. They changed recently, and something is going on.
6. They bicker a lot
You’re not sure what the argument was even about, and it keeps happening again and again. Whatever you say, they rip it apart and find a way to get angry at you. They’re clearly frustrated about something and taking it out on you.
7. They blame you for everything
When they are too weak to break up with you, they try to push you away instead. They blame you for everything and anything – they are trying to find a way out.
