6 Signs you are in Relationship Burnout

How many of these common causes of relationship burnout sound like you?

Competition:

Do you feel like you’ve created a toxic environment, constantly competing for who is right and who is wrong – or who does more? Does it feel like you’ve lost all sensitivity and compassion for one another?

Resentment:

Do you find yourself not expressing your needs and boundaries and then feeling a lot of resentment simmering in the back of your mind and heart?

Taken for Granted:

Do you feel like your partner doesn’t value or care about you? Do you feel like you receive no appreciation or acknowledgment for what you do?

Loneliness:

Do you feel like you’re living separate lives? Are you feeling lonely and invisible in your relationship? Do you feel like you’ve been grieving the loss of your connection even though you’re still technically together? Are you living a silent separation?

Lack of Intimacy:

Do you feel like your relationship is centred around prioritising your kids or your work and lacks intimacy — unique things that you do only with each other? Do you dread the idea of spending time together and would rather do your own thing?

Life Stress:

Do you feel like it’s not possible to go on date nights and have fun together because you’re barely keeping your heads above water? Do your financial, parental, family or other life responsibilities seem to amplify your relationship issues?

Most people with relationship burnout are experiencing a combination of these causes.
