6 Reasons Why Indifference Can Kill Your Relationship

[Cccgala]

Indifference is a red flag. Why?

1. Indifference is carelessness.

The opposite would happen when arguing takes place. When you'd argue, it would just mean that you both care and want both of your interests to be taken in consideration. In my opinion, that is way much better than getting no reaction from your significant other.

The one who really cares gets hurt. If one doesn't care so much, it won't hurt him/her.

2. Indifference means disinterest.

Settling for whatever means that one doesn't really mind a relationship of meaning.

Enough said.

3. Indifference shuts down compromises.

Indifference does not equal genuine acceptance. What makes them different, then? One doesn't give a single damn while the other one considers and cares about everything profoundly.

Genuine acceptance is earned through compromises. Relationships solidify because of accepting each other's differences. Thus, both parties should feel comfortable tackling about everything.

Indifference is going with the flow even though one does not feel like it.

4. Indifference breaks moments.

When one isn't as enthusiastic as before, he/she would tend to feel indifferent to prospective times of memory making. That is never good and will never do you any good. Plus, regret might attempt to make its stop at the back of your mind.

When I would make plans, I would want to hear an, "I'd like that", or a, "Nah, I think I won't enjoy that", compared to an, "It's okay; I won't mind."

If you here is a high chance that you'd be staying indifferent towards him/her.

5. Your relationship will lose its meaning.

Indifference hinders transparent communication. Indifference serves as an obstacle to engagement. Indifference is not a worthwhile thing to do. It is a senseless thing to do when you want to learn from each other and accept differences.

When we’ve closed ourselves down in a relationship, we’ve shut off caring. We’ve shut off growth. We’ve shut off learning. And we’ve shut off life. (John Grohol)

well i went from the most loving girl to the indifferent girl in my relationship when he tried to break up. He waited for me to burst in anger instead i served him a cold dish and move on.
My motto is if a man wants to leave, no matter how heartbreaking it is and how much you invested in him, hold the door open for him.

Nice take. It;s one of the reason I'm glad we ended things with the guy I was talking to. He was so indifferent at the end, I felt worthless to him.
I'm pretty sure we can all find someone who;ll make us a priority.

So, both indifference and any form of interest are simultaneously red flags. Which means that literally everyone alive or dead would be instantly red flagged. Congratulations- you're eroded even more of my virtually non-existent faith in humanity, when I thought that there was nothing left there to erode. Well done...
