Answer 3

Relationships

Intimate relationships can be some of the most rewarding experiences in life. They can also be some of the most difficult and hurtful when they don't work out.

You have contempt for each other

Belittling your partner in any way is an important sign that a relationship may be doomed. Even when fighting, partners should always respect one another and not engage in behavior that shows contempt for the other person. One partner has an affair and refuses to work through the issues behind it

While cheating can be overcome, it can still spell the end of a relationship if the partner who cheated doesn't discover why he or she did so and work to fix those issues.

There's an imbalance of power

If there are unequal roles and/or an imbalance of power in the relationship, that can lead to problems that many couples can't recover from, if it's not addressed.

The beginning of the relationship doesn't hold fond memories

If a couple doesn't still have an emotional connection to the days when they're relationship began, it could be a sign that the relationship is already over. Remembering good times, even in bad times, is very important.

You aren't honest with each other

Relationships require emotional intimacy to grow. If one or both partners can't be open and honest, the relationship has little hope of evolving.

Unaddressed addiction

Addiction can often take over a relationship. The forces that draw the addict to the vice are often drawing the person just as strongly away from their partner. Addiction must be addressed to avoid sabotaging a relationship.

Social media secrets

If one partner is active on social media, but never posts about your relationship, that could signal a problem. Keeping the relationship a secret from friends and family is not a good sign for the future of the relationship.

One partner feels alone

Feeling alone while in a relationship often means that one partner's emotional needs aren't being met. If the other partner isn't willing or able to offer connection, the relationship has little chance to survive.

What to do

If you're afraid that your relationship is headed for disaster, try talking with your partner about your concerns. You could also try couples therapy, or even therapy on your own. The most important thing to do is something, as with no intervention, the problem isn't likely to fix itself.
