Some conditions must be met before a relationship can flourish: You and your partner were drawn to each other because of the tenderness, care, and connection you shared. In order for a relationship to thrive, it must have a strong foundation of trust and excitement.

In order to keep a relationship continuing, it’s impossible to put any one component above the rest. That your partner is enthralled by your smile, how you wear your clothes or even just observing you at work is a feeling that can’t be sold in a relationship.

This is why it may be so upsetting when someone you care about no longer feels the same way about you.

The behaviors described in this article may indicate a decrease in your partner’s opinion of your attractiveness. If your lover exhibits any of these characteristics, you’ll get some pointers on how to rekindle the passion in your relationship.

You’re Getting Into More Fights

This could be an indication that your partner is losing interest in you, as well as a hint that something more serious is afoot for the future of the relationship if your partner is more irritated toward you.

Intimacy Has Begun To Feel Like A Family Affair

It’s possible that your partner does all the correct things, such as constantly calling you throughout the day to give updates, planning movie dates, or having a day set aside where you eat at a beautiful restaurant once a week. There is only one problem, and that is that it feels like you’re engaging with a sibling rather than a romantic partner.

There is still a sense of camaraderie and trust in the relationship, but there is no sign that your spouse has your best interests at heart and will go to great lengths to maintain that feeling.

While infatuation might be a powerful emotion, it isn’t usually the most long-lasting for your spouse. However, if your significant other starts losing interest in you, your relationship may be in jeopardy.

They’re Doing Less To Maintain The Relationship

The lack of effort your partner is investing into the relationship is a clear sign that they no longer find you attractive. Encouraging them to respond to your texts may become a difficult task if you use terms of endearment, schedule activities together, or even plan them at all.

If your partner was extremely meticulous in making you feel special early in your relationship, this can be particularly difficult.

You’re Not Having As Much Sex Anymore

Sex is an excellent way to get a sense of the level of intimacy your partner has with you. Has your libido dipped lately? What are the typical sensations of foreplay, and has this evolved significantly over time? Afterward, do you and your partner have time to talk about what you learned and how you may apply it to the next session?

Married couples may notice this more than others. Even while sex tends to slow down in marriage β€” a population survey indicated a significant decline in the number of times couples had sex weekly β€” a drastic shift in the regularity with which you have sex with your partner could suggest a change in how desirable you are to your companion.

Another red flag is the absence of intimacy during foreplay or the elimination of this act altogether when having sex.

Sex may not be impacted, but how your partner does it may be significantly altered. A lack of passion, communication, and closeness following sex might make sex feel like a “checkbox” to be checked in your relationship.

Your Partner Is Spending Less Time With You

It’s understandable to be concerned if your partner starts spending more time away from the house you share or from you.

There is nothing wrong with wanting some space from each other, but you and your spouse may find it difficult to talk about it without triggering your anxieties.

If they’re constantly making excuses for why they can’t meet, or if your time together is limited and lacking in intimacy, this could be an indication that their interest in you is fading.
