Being unhappy in a relationship isn’t an instant feeling.

It usually begins to creep up on you slowly and eventually you discover that you are unhappy.

Here are five tell-tale signs that you are unhappy.

You are bored

There is no excitement for in relationship anymore and any attempt to make things more interesting are all futile.

You are tempted to stray

Maybe you’ve been hanging out with a particular guy and they make you feel good. You can’t remember the last time you felt that in your relationship and for a second, you thought about hooking up with that guy or not even telling them that you have someone.

You feel put down all the time

You feel down about every aspect of your relationship. It may be with you or your partner or just the way your relationship is. Everything is surrounded by negativity.

You avoid any form of physical connection with your partner

Even when they try to hold your hand in public, you make it a point of drawing away. You aren’t interested and don’t feel any physical connection to them.

You lie to yourself

You keep telling yourself that you are happy and try to convince everyone around you that you are. Deep down though, you know that it is a lie.
