7 Signs Your Relationship Is In Trouble

  As people grow in relationships, it's not uncommon to hit a rough patch or two that can take one's stress level to new heights.  Sometimes it's just a moment that will pass in a few hours and other times, we might need to call for backup..lol

  But one thing I've learned about relationships is that being vigilant and paying attention to the early signs of trouble can reduce the risk of experiencing a relationship crisis.  Tonight, I have highlighted 7 indicators of trouble in relationships to help you recognize those small fires before they become raging infernos.

                  And now if you're ready, here are "7 Signs That Your Relationship Is In Trouble"...

#1 No One's Talking

If you find that the back-n-forth banter you and your boyfriend used to enjoy has been replaced with dead silence, something is wrong.

  Painfully wrong.  Verbal communication, second to body language is how we most often let our loved ones know how we feel.  If we stop sharing our ideas and emotions with each other there is a reason.
  Possible causes can include: trust issues, distraction, stress at work, anger, sadness....

"I just don't want to deal with the silence anymore"

#2 Trust Has Left The Building

"I don't feel that I can trust him with my feelings"

Without trust, you can pretty much hang up your relationship.  Trust Is The Glue Of Relationships and without it, things tend to fall apart.

  Not being able to trust someone makes for a lonely, lonely relationship.  Who would tell someone what they really felt or thought about "anything", if inside they didn't feel safe.  You'll want to nip this one in the bud, A.S.A.P!

#3 Sex Is A Distant Memory

  The physical affection we show one another is a culmination of emotions, thoughts and ideas we often can't put into words so we tend to "work it out".

  Kissing, touching and hugging are all ways we show someone we want to be near them, with them and in the relationship.  When the sex stops for an extended period of time, "Houston, We Have A Problem".  The connection has been severed or is need of serious repairs.  

"I put a stop to sex after he started acting this way"

#4 You Spend More Time Meeting New People

"One more drink and then I'll go home and deal..Arghh"

There's just something more engaging about conversation with others when relationships are on the fritz.  It seems like even the mailman's conversation has more oomph than what you hear from Babe doesn't it?

  But what's the reason?  Is there something that has changed in the way you feel?  Or are you wondering the same thing about him?

#5 The Little Things Annoy You..More

  In every relationship there's going to be things that get under your skin, but when things are bad even the smallest thing can make your head spin.

  That cute face Babe always makes is now a dartboard that you just want to launch nuclear missiles at.  The silly snarf at the end of a laugh is now a metal fork on a chalk board.  

 When things are bad, it's the little things that irritate and make you want to separate...

"How many times is he going to tell the same joke"

#6 Arguments Have Become Vicious

"If I get called one more name, it's going to be trouble"

  Arguments are healthy in relationships, this is something we all know or should at least know by now.

  But...When we are deliberately saying things to cut, hurt and destroy another person, it's time to take a serious breather.  

  No one tries to hurt others when they are at peace within themselves.  Find out what the real problem is and see if you can calm the waters.

#7 One Of You Has Stopped Trying

  So one of you has just given the other a good tongue lashing and someone folds. 

  There is no expression of feelings, no recourse, not even an attempt to express thier side or thoughts on the matter. 

  They simply don't care or they have just stopped trying.  

  In relationships, there is a continual tug of war as people work into a groove.  If only one person is tugging and the other isn't pulling... again trouble is at hand.    

"I'm tired of fighting it, I'm just about done trying"
