1. Your partner ignores your emotions. You tend to conceal your emotions because expressing them has little influence on your spouse or, worse, has a negative impact. For example, when you tell them you’re hurt or unhappy because of anything they did, they get angry or say it’s all in your head.

2. Your lover only calls when they need something from you. If you believe they are only kind to you when they need a favor, your connection may be strained. Not to mention the fact that the support is most likely not reciprocated.

3. Your partner is frequently unavailable. If your partner makes reasons not to spend time with you, or if they are often busy or exhausted, you should reconsider your engagement in the relationship.

4. You have not met any of their pals. If you’ve been in a relationship with this person for a while but haven’t met any of their friends, it suggests they understand the relationship isn’t going to last and see no use in introducing you to their social circle.5. You can’t recall the last time you had a meaningful conversation.

A good partnership relies heavily on effective communication. If your talks are shallow or non-existent, and you don’t share any of your ambitions and dreams with your spouse, you’re probably not in a serious relationship.
