Something you may ask yourself now and again is whether or not you are truly happy in your relationship. Things go up and down all the time, so there are going to be days when you don’t even want to look at your partner - but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to be with them.
In this article, we’re going to take a look at some of the things that you might want to think about when trying to work out whether or not you are happy in your relationship. Keep reading if you would like to find out more.
Your heart still flutters. If your heart still skips a beat when you see your partner, then that's a good sign. The way that someone makes you feel is often out of your control, but this is a sure fire sign straight to your brain that your heart is happy in there. However, sometimes it can do this even when things aren’t going fantastically because you are in love with them. Sometimes, love just isn’t enough to make a relationship work no matter how badly two people want it to, so maybe take this tip with a pinch of salt.
You're more in love with the memories. One way to know that you’re not happy any more is when you think about your life and realise that you are more in love with the memories you've made than you are with the person right in front of you. It happens more often than you'd think, and it can sometimes take ages to figure this out. It’s never an easy thing to do, but you might need to start looking into separation, even grounds for divorce, if you find that this is the case for you. You are always going to have these memories that you can hold onto, but you both deserve a chance at finding happiness again.
You don't miss them any more. Finally, if you don’t miss them when they aren’t around, are you really happy in your relationship? The answer is probably not. When you love someone, you want to be with them as often as you can. You want to spend time with them, and when they aren’t there, you miss them. But, sometimes in a relationship you lose this and you end up preferring it when they are not there. If this happens, then you’re simply not happy and need to learn to let go for their sake, as well as yours.
We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now have a better grasp on whether or not you are actually happy. If you’re not and it’s not just a phase, it’s time to let go because you will only do yourself more harm than good in the end. If you are happy, then we hope this continues for many years to come!
