Relationships can be very interesting and at the same time a burden. Most people would rather stay single than be in a relationship because of the challenges people in relationships are faced with.
Spending an unhealthy amount of time thinking about one person – what they are doing, who they are with, if they are cheating, etc., can drain your emotions.
If you are experiencing any of these few signs in your relationship, it might be time you did something about it.
They are not Boosting You Emotionally
How do you feel when you are with him/her? The way you feel when you are with them will help you know if they are boosting you emotionally or just sapping you. Does he always want to hang out, party, club all the time, chat continuously when you don’t feel like it? The small responses to your partner’s bids for attention are indicative of how they are impacting your emotional well-being. It is in these easily overlooked reactions that you will find the most accurate clues to whether or not your partner is boosting or draining your emotional life, says marriage and family therapist and relationship expert Esther.
You are always thinking about them
If having worrying thoughts about your partner keeps you up late into the night, or keeps creeping into your thoughts at work, you have to figure out how to stop. It could be that you brought this attitude from your past relationship, hence it isn’t your partner’s fault. You will have work it out on your own.
3. You’re always exhausted
If being with your significant half makes you feel tired and exhausted all the time, it means they are draining you emotionally. We are humans, and we live because of our energy. Our hearts beat, brains functions because of energetic impulses. So don’t exert your energy on things that will drain it. But it’s not enough reason to take a break from the relationship, it just means that you are giving too much. Take a break on your thought.
4. You Can’t Wait For an alone time
You feel so much relieve when you get to spend time alone without your partner. This is a sign your relationship is emotionally draining you. When it gets to the stage where you are excited to have to spend the weekend alone without your partner, and you don’t get to even miss them, it’s a sign that things are not ok. Having a break is good but when you get so excited about it, there is a problem.
Talk to your partner about the way you feel.
Always making demands
Your partner is always demanding this and that, and you are beginning to feel it’s too much and you cannot do it anymore, it means you are being drained emotionally. Everyone has a limit to what they can bear. When you feel you have gotten to your breaking point, talk to your partner about it and get it sorted it out.
He’s all about himself
If your partner is all about himself – he doesn’t listen to you, but always want you to pay attention when he has something to say, it’s time to make a decision. A relationship is never one-sided, its give and take.
