4 Signs You're In A Stagnant Relationship (& How To Revive The Passion)
By SARAH VULPIO
You Feel Alone When You’re Together
One of the biggest signs that you’re in a stagnant relationship is if you feel like you miss them even when they’re around. It may feel like they’re no longer interested in you.
When you have these thoughts, the best thing you can do is talk to your partner. They might be feeling the same way, and this will help you improve your communication.
Nothing Excites You
Things don’t excite you anymore when you’re in a stagnant relationship, but it could be because you’ve grown so comfortable that things feel stale.
The trick to getting the excitement back is to step out of your comfort zone and encourage your partner to do the same. You might be nervous, but it can also be exciting!
Decrease In Intimacy
An obvious sign of stagnancy in your relationship is a lack of physical intimacy. Sexual intimacy leads to emotional intimacy, so it’s important to maintain a healthy sex life.
To revive the passion, try something new! Take turns initiating sex, try new positions, give more attention to foreplay, and make every little kiss or touch count.
You Ignore Their Mistakes
If you are no longer bothered by your partner’s wrongdoings and mistakes, it’s a sign that you are no longer emotionally invested and may have even given up trying.
The opposite of love is indifference, so if you think the relationship is worth saving, you need to sit down with your partner and have a serious conversation about reconnecting.
