Partner Is Losing Interest In You: Were you and your partner inseparable the first time you started dating, but lately do you feel like things have been off between you two? We understand how heartbreaking it is to watch someone you care about start to lose interest, but we want you to know that you deserve better. Here are five signs your partner is losing interest in you.

1. They use fewer texting emojis with you

Sounds silly, right? But if your partner often used emojis and starts being sparse with them, this indicates they aren’t having as much fun with you anymore. You may also start to notice they’re becoming more emotionally closed off. Researchers who study people falling out of love call this “mate ejection.” It’s similar to a disk ejecting from a computer drive. People start to drift away from one another when they feel unfulfilled in the relationship, whether it’s on a physical or emotional level.

2. They minimize physical contact with you

Along with closed-off communication, people who fall out of love tend to look at and touch each other less. This includes how frequently the both of you get intimate. Physical connection is important in a healthy relationship, so when there’s little to no hugging, kissing, and cuddling, it’s hard to feel like there’s anything real and true between you two. Affection is supposed to be welcomed, not seen as an annoyance.

3. They often avoid or cancel plans with you

In healthy relationships, people find balance between being with their partner and being by themselves. But when your partner falls out of love with you, they start to embrace solitude more intensely or go out and do things without you. If you notice they stop inviting you out to functions with their friends and family, or often cancel dinner plans and choose not to celebrate special occasions with you, such as your anniversary or birthday, then this is a big indicator they no longer feel the same way.

4. You find yourself doing more work than usual to keep things afloat

A relationship is a two-way street, so no individual should be doing all the work. If you find yourself putting in more effort or making all the sacrifices but not getting any of that reciprocated, then maybe it’s time to sit your partner down and have the big talk. You deserve to be loved and treated well. Although all relationships require work to sustain, they also require happiness.

5. They eventually stop fighting with you

Even when a couple is going through rough patches, there’s no excuse for why anyone stops trying. When someone falls out of love, they no longer care enough to even fight back. Instead, they will grow cold and indifferent. You might catch yourself yelling just to make a scene, hoping to get their attention, but your partner ignores you. When a relationship isn’t working, sometimes it hurts less to let go than it does to hold on.
