All relationships have common characteristics, but there’s no two same relationships. Only you two know what your relationship is made of and what you have been through to get to where you are now. In times of confusion, it’s quite difficult to focus on the positive things, because your minds are clouded with anger and frustration.

Do you feel like your partner isn’t listening? When was the last time you had an honest conversation or shared a long laugh? The first signs of disconnection appear in communication. This can manifest through a lack of patience, an excessive need for fights, a feeling of unsourced annoyance, and practically any inexplicable need for negativity. Now, the first thing you need to do is admit you two are not at your best. You simply can’t expect your issues to resolve themselves. If you allow that tension to build up, it will only cause more difficulties, and you will end up accumulating a bunch of small frustrations and serious problems, and won’t even know where to start dealing with them.
