It is fair to request some clarity as to where the relationship is heading from time to time. You do not want to put too much pressure on your partner, but there is nothing wrong with asking where the two of you stand. If your partner starts to get defensive and freaks out whenever this subject comes up, then he or she may not be into it for a long-term relationship as much as you are.

A relationship is made of two individuals that are balanced. If your partner has started to demand too much attention, is ordering you around and insists that it is always his/her way, then it may be a problem.

There is Too Much Focus on What’s Wrong

In the relationship, there is too much focus on what is wrong in the relationship and not what is right. When the two of you talk about how things are going in your relationship, do all of the wrong things come up? I am not saying that you should not address those obstacles, but sometimes, it is important that you focus on the good things in the relationship.

There is nothing wrong with arguing. Couples argue. Every couple does. Conflict, when one handles it in a respectful way, can be good. However, if you feel that you and your partner are arguing too much, then that is when it becomes a problem.

Lack of Trust

In order for a relationship to work out, there has to be a lot of trust. Both people need to know that they do not have to worry about what the other person is up to. If you find yourself wondering all the time if the other is being true or not, then there is not a lot of trust there.

When the two of you first hooked up, you felt as if you could not get enough of each other. Now, you feel as if you have too much of one another. Spending time together now seems like a chore. It is no longer something you wish to do.

Constant Criticism

Constant criticism can be a big sign that the relationship is not headed in the right direction. It can really wear a good relationship down. It is important to avoid making certain types of jokes. Criticism is generally a sign of underlying anger.

The Look in the Eyes

When you look in your partners eyes and you do not see “that look” that you once saw, then your relationship may be in trouble. Sometimes, you can just tell if something is wrong by looking into the other’s eyes.

In the end, when you are experiencing frequent problems, sometimes, it is best just to be friends. When push comes to shove, a break up may be needed. It is better than making each other feel bad. What about you, do you think you are in a bad relationship? Is that why you are here?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

for me personally, it's when i stop caring. it's like everything he does that even use to annoy me or whatever goes over my head. you just find yourself numb to things and i think that's one of the biggest signs. but then again ... that's just me lol

They always say hindsight is 20/20 it's amazing how these rules follow "long term relationships" as well as newly started ones.

Concentrating on what's wrong with the relationship is what's happening with me right now. Also, constant conflict. Maybe, I should be putting more thought into my relationship.

I'm here because I suffer from depression and anxiety (have since before my relationship), I don't have much in my life at the moment and the biggest thing I worry about is my relationship. I worry that we're not close enough and I worry about losing it because I love him more than anything. I guess I'm pretty needy. I just want to be healthy and not worry.
