10 signs you are in a dead-end relationship
Sometimes we get so used to being in a dead-end relationship that the misery we feel becomes ‘normalised’, in that we forget what it feels like to be in a fulfilling relationship. Here is a list of signs that indicate you could be living in a dead-end relationship:

You don’t enjoy the physical side anymore

If you dread the idea of sex with your partner, that’s a pretty clear sign that things are not going well. Of course, libido changes and we go through phases where we want sex less but if you actively dread any closeness and feel physically uncomfortable — take notice.
2. Your emotional needs aren’t being met
Do you feel alone in your relationship? Does your partner show a lack of empathy to what you are experiencing in life? When we feel unsupported we tend to begin to our distance between ourselves and our partners. Sometimes, counselling and/or improving communication can sort this out but being left to feel unsupported for too long is definitely not a good sign for the future of any relationship.
3. You don’t miss your partner when you are apart
If your life carries on just as before and there is no void left when you are not with your partner. It could suggest there is a lack of emotional closeness. This doesn’t always mean the end of a relationship but it can be one sign that things are not as good as they could be. Dead-end relationships evolve into a partnerships between two strangers.
