6 BIG SIGNS THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS DOOMED

We all know relationships are hard work, but they’re not supposed to be hell. These 6 tell-tale signs spell perdition for even the most committed couples.

1.            One of You Is Always Trying to Change the Other

No one likes it when someone else tries to change them. It places stress on both of you and thus, the whole relationship. Not only does it cause stress, it can also cause resentment and resentment is toxic.

2.            You Don’t Trust Each Other

Trust is a difficult thing. Especially if one of you has done something to violate the other’s trust; or maybe one of you have had experiences in the past that affects your ability to trust. Whatever the issue is, you can’t have a serious relationship without trust.

3.            You Don't Touch

Beyond not having sex, which is an obvious problem, a lack of any kind of intimacy is bad news. Do you still hold hands? Do they touch your back when you're walking? Do you ever make out just because, and not as a precursor to sex? You don't need to be engaging in crazy amounts of PDA, but you should feel wanted by your partner.

4.            You're Lying to Your Friends

Yes, lies of omissions and half-truths count. When I realize that I'm not telling my friends the whole truth about my relationship, I know I'm in deep trouble.

5.            There's No Emotion

If you find yourself completely void of any sort of reaction or feeling, this is a bad sign. Someone told me once that the opposite of love isn't hate, it is apathy, and I feel that couldn't be truer.

6.            You Are in a High-Conflict Relationship

You guys fight a lot. Even by the standards of people who fight a lot. No matter what, it seems like the two of you can’t even do the simplest things without it becoming a huge deal.
