4 signs your partner is falling out of love with you


Breaking up with a long-term partner can be one of life’s most challenging and emotionally charged experiences.

When a relationship that has endured for more than a year begins to crumble, it forces us to confront the prospect of losing a person who has been a constant presence in our lives.

Falling out of love is a common reason for breakups, and this usually involves more than just two people no longer finding each other attractive. The explanation of why a couple may have fallen out of love usually runs more profound than that.

With today’s hectic lifestyle, everyone is multitasking, juggling work, finances, and raising a busy family, and sometimes prioritizing the well-being of a relationship may fall to the bottom of our list of priorities.

In the first instance, it may be worth considering couples therapy, but sometimes it’s a case of couples not seeing eye to eye on everything from day-to-day routines to big decisions.

When this is the case, resentment can fester into frustration and detachment, causing a breakdown in the relationship. Speaking to an objective third party to voice concerns may help to resolve the issues.

If the reasons for the strain in the relationship cannot be resolved, it may be time to chat with your partner about the reality of the relationship and consider a breakup.

However, sometimes you can also easily tell if your partner has started to lose interest in you, and below, we share some subtle signs they may show.

Signs your partner is falling of love

1. They’ve stopped making an effort
One of the clearest signs that your partner is no longer interested in you is if they stop making any effort in the relationship. If they used to go out of their way to make you feel loved and special, but now they couldn’t care less, it’s a sign that something has changed.

2. They’re always busy
Another sign that your partner may be falling out of love with you is if they’re always busy and don’t have any time for you. If they used to make time for you but now they’re always too busy to even talk to you, it’s a sign that you’re no longer a priority in their life.

3. They don’t communicate with you
When people are in love, they want to communicate with their partner as much as possible. But if your partner has stopped communicating with you, it’s a sign that they’re falling out of love. If they used to be eager to talk to you about everything but now they’re barely even interested in talking to you at all, it’s a red flag.

4. They’re not interested in physical intimacy
Physical intimacy is an important part of any relationship. If your partner used to be interested in being physically close to you but now they seem to avoid any type of physical contact, it’s a sign that they may be falling out of love with you.

If you’re worried that your partner may be falling out of love with you, these are four of the most common signs to look for. If you notice any of these signs in your relationship, it’s important to talk to your partner about it and figure out what’s happening.
