The need for partnership is an inevitable call for human existence. We all require someone to love, love us, belong to, depend on, have someone we can trust blindly, and someone who can embrace our existence. When you hit someone who can cherish your presence, you immediately choose their permanence by uniting relationships.

A relationship is a significant essence of our lives that charges constant mutual efforts and understanding. Still, sometimes these efforts may go unrecognized, paving the way to damage, demanding to be fixed and solidify again.

 

Here are some signs indicating the end of a relationship and an alarming need to fix it -

a. Flourishing frequency of disputes

Disagreement is acceptable and obvious as couples are two different complex minds, simply choosing to be together and belong to each other. Distinctive opinions are natural but putting each other down, insulting and abusing, stabbing each other's vulnerabilities, indulging in physical fights flags the need to fix the relationship.

b. Immersing intimacy

There exist five primary love languages covering words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. If you discover the dominant love language of your partner along with others fading, the pattern of expression of your togetherness disrupting, then it symbols the need to strengthen your love.

c. Sttuborn spouse

The absence of agreement and no compromise expectations are cherished in ruffled relationships. One partner is observed to be constantly apologetic. In contrast, others keep blaming and criticizing them for every mess and faulty act in partnership, sinking the self-esteem of one and embracing the ego of the other.

d. Betrayal bent 

When needs that one endeavor to satisfy via love connection are left unmeet, the partner seeks external admiration to saturate those voids, creating insufficient and lethal illusions of the existing relationship. 

e. Conflicting contrasts

Relationships aim to grow together, but if you both start planting in separate directions, breeding incompatible differences with shift the priorities, and slip-on ability to empathize with each other, keeping up with the relationship becomes hard.

f. Unconscious undermining

Random flirting in the name of playfulness, foolish fights, baffled arguments, abated sense of belongingness and dead quality time are some of the oblivion acts sabotaging the relationship leaving you with the impression of being miserable and troubled. 

 

The above signs symbolize the paramount need to rethink your relationship and fix it, but HOW??

Here are some behaviors you may incorporate to affix and anchor your relationship to carry forward your partnership in a healthy way:-

  • Communication is the core because the real void may lie in communication. Maybe you haven't attempted communicating your need to your partner, help them tackling your needs, better proposing what exactly you want from them and what you desire for out of this togetherness. 
  • Dodge fights and screaming sessions but sitting together and expressing precisely what you foresee the person acting and behaving during disputes and disagreements rather than criticizing and pulling each other down. Try to view these disagreements as just two different opinions and not as the partner trying to rebel against what you say.
  • Identify your's and your partner's dominant love language and work on it. Practice it to communicate your affection, put this expression on trial, and investigate new productive and creative ways to express your love to your partner. Improve intimacy by allowing them to taste and sense the love and support, rather than just telling them that you love them.
  • You definitely can't eradicate other's stubbornness, but you can communicate how little adjustments will add to the sake of your partnership. 
  • DON'T COMPLAIN AND EXPECT, COMMUNICATE AND ACCEPT!
  • Try to discover each other's interests and priorities, cherish your commonalities, value each other's choices and decisions and attempt to pave the distinct route concerning each other's priorities.

Remember, it will always take some time but would ultimately take you to the brighter side of the tunnel if you both wish to walk together till the end.
