Do you want to know if you have reasons to break up with your partner or are you simply curious/curious what reasons that sometimes separate stable and long-lasting couples are the most common? Read on and you will find out what are the most "popular" reasons that break up relationships!

Love mysteriously disappeared one day! You feel that you no longer love and that you are not even attached to the other person, you feel that you no longer know what brought you together! When you look into the other person's eyes and you don't find that "sparkle", you don't feel anything, then the relationship is practically based only on the habit and the fear of change.

This is not about the disappearance of passion: in most couples, the crazy passion from the beginning turns into quiet love, a good flame, attachment, respect, and communion. But if you don't feel these emotions either, then why are you with the person next to you?

He's cheating on you! If you find that you have been betrayed by your partner, you don't even need other reasons to break up! But sometimes it depends on the situation: did he cheat on you once, did he come to confess and sincerely regret it?

In this case, it depends a lot on the relationship, its value, its duration, your power of forgiveness, the sincere regret and guilt of the traitor, the context! Do you remember that episode of the series Friends, in which he cheated on her because they were on a "break" ("We were on a break !!!")?

In such situations, being deceived can sometimes be forgiven and forgotten. trust him/her, then the whole relationship is destroyed… You can't and it doesn't make sense to sit next to someone who always causes you doubts, frustration, questions, fears!

You can't find the passion, the "sparkle", the sexual attraction between you at all! Yes, passion is, at some point in the evolution of a couple's relationship, replaced by attachment.

But if you no longer find a drop of attraction between you and your sex life is reduced to a sex game of complacency, "to be", then you would have reason to break up! Sex is not everything - but it is such an important part… A satisfying sex life maintains satisfaction, zest for life, self-confidence, optimism, physical and emotional intimacy.

Instead, an unsatisfactory and troubled sex life causes frustration, stress, negativity, regret, the need for something else. When you see that something has broken in the attraction between you two, work to regain the desire. If it doesn't work, if you prefer to have sex with an attractive stranger than with him/her, then there is usually nothing left to do.

Reasons to break up? Something - something impossible to explain - has changed! You quarrel more and more often, sometimes for absolutely stupid reasons! Almost any discussion longer than five minutes becomes tense. You no longer find a common ground in almost anything.

You no longer find common interests and attractions. You've moved away. When there are frequent and tense quarrels, which are not caused by any important decision in your married life, then they come from elsewhere, from the depths. One of you is not satisfied with his life and his relationship with the couple.

He will accumulate dissatisfaction and frustration, tensions that he will release through quarrels. But it won't be like that for a long time: frustrations are not cured by screams, but only the external tension is temporarily released, and the other partner, in whose head the "pots are broken" will not endure the situation for a long time! When you feel unhappy, look for the source of the dissatisfaction and see if it is within or outside the relationship.

If you do not communicate about your problems and dissatisfaction, then the gradual emotional distance will lead to self-separation. And if you feel that the relationship no longer gives you what you need, it doesn't make you happy and satisfied, then what other reasons do you have to keep it?

Reasons to break up: someone else attracts you! Attention: almost every couple ends up in a situation where one of the partners is physically, sexually, intellectually, or even emotionally attracted to someone else.

This happens when you have been away from each other for a while or when your partner does not give you the attention, admiration, or sex you need! Being attracted to another person does not mean the end of the relationship.

It is normal when your married life goes well to find other attractive people; the problem arises when you can't stop thinking about that person when you imagine what it would be like to have a relationship with him/her when you imagine what your life would be like with him/her. When you have fantasies and you start to compare your partner with that person, a competition from which the last one emerges victorious!

This attraction can mean two things: either you have feelings for someone else, which means that you may not be with the right person for you right now; either you need something new, exciting, exciting. This means you're either going to work on your relationship and find solutions to "rekindle" it, or give up (if the relationship doesn't mean much to you) and look for what you want elsewhere!

For a happy relationship with the couple and to avoid the reasons for breaking up, remember:

  • Love and show that you always love, through words and gestures; don't assume that the other person knows how you feel, show them;
  • Be faithful, respect the relationship and be honest and you will be answered in the same way (usually);
  • Communicate, so that you know what differences, problems exist and you can reach a compromise, adaptation;
  • A regular and as diverse sex life as possible is the key to satisfaction and contentment; the more often you have sex, the greater the desire;
  • When a tense quarrel is about to break out, each takes a break and analyzes the situation separately; calm down and then start the conversation again.
