6 Signs That Your Relationship Isn't Working

A lot of relationships fail. Most of them actually. While the reason for the end of each relationship is different, here are some that I think apply generally. It's just my opinion, feel free to disagree with me :)

6. You don't plan the future together

If it's a short realationship, as in you've only been together for a couple of months, it's understandable that you're not thinking about your wedding dress yet. However, sooner or later, these thoughts should come to mind. If you love your partner, but can't see yourself spending the rest of your life with him, it might be a sign that the relationship is bound to fail. If it's just a minor issue that you two disagree on, for example you want an aparment and your partner would prefer a house, it's not that big of a deal. However, if one of you wishes to focus on career and the other wants a huge happy family, you might not be compatible in the future. It is super import to discuss these things, however uncomfortable it might be.

5. Lack of physical contact

Physical contact is extremely important in romantic relationships. This doesn't mean just sex, but also things like hugs, kisses, holding hands etc. It creates a stronger emotional bond and increases the release of the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates us to be happier and feel love. A lot of people understimate the importance of touching eacho ther non-sexually. Often times, difficult situations might be solved by a simple hug, rather than talking.

4. You Fight

This one is quite obvious. If you fight with your significant other, it's a clear sight that something is not working the way it's supposed to. People have different opinions, and sometimes arguments simply can't be avoided. However, trying to talk things out peacefully can very often save the relationship. It's important to get over youra´anger, even if you fele you're right, and to try and understand the views and opinions of your partner. You aren't always going to agree on everything and that's perfectly fine, it's pointless to try changing the other's opinion. A sicere apology can do a whole lot as well.

3. You don't go on dates

You might think that dates aren't that important if you two live together, but they definitely are. It's not just about the amount of time you spend together, but also what you do. Spending every weekend watching Netflix and eating pizza on your couch is gonna get really boring really fast. It's essential to think of new, fun ideas, go on day trips, maybe a double date with some friends... There are so many options, it's really sad to see couples neglect something as important as dates.

2. Lack of trust

Another obvious one. Mutual trust is one of the key things holding a healthy relationship together. A serious partnership simply won't work if you don't trust each other completely. Of course, a little bit of jealousy is okay, but you can't go overboard with it. It can be difficult to earn your partner's trust sometimes. The most important thing in doing so is being completely honest with him. If you promise something, keep your word. Know to admit your mistakes. Share your deepest seacrets and worries with him/her. And finally, be forgiving. If your partner sees that you're willing to forgive, he will be more likely to do the same, if you're at fault.

1. You think about other people

A lot of people, both men and women, sometimes think about other people, that's just the way it is. If your man turns around and checks out a hot girl, it doesn't mean that you should break up with him. However, if it happens too often, it can take a toll on your relationsip. It starts to become a problem when you notice that you're thinking about somebody else, even when they're not around you. It's a sign that your partner might not be the right one for you, and you may want to reconsider your relationdhip.
