14 Telltale Signs Your Partner Is Bored With Your Relationship
Relationships are always exciting in the beginning. But once the honeymoon phase ends,
things settle down and become less fiery. Hi viewers and welcome back to Bestie!
Every relationship has its ups and downs.
As your relationship grows more comfortable, you might worry it is growing a bit too boring.
Your relationship might be mostly free of conflict, but chances are
your partner might be feeling unsatisfied, tired,
or just plain uninspired. There are signs that can help you identify this and in today’s video,
we will tell you what they are. From not wanting to hang out with you,
showing a lack of excitement, not wanting to connect physically, fighting about the same
things to not acknowledging your efforts and more, watch till the end to learn about all of them.
They show a general lack of excitement: If your partner used to get excited about doing
things together, but that spark seems to have faded. One warning sign is a
general lack of enthusiasm for things they were once excited to do with you.
When your partner becomes bored with the relationship,
even the more exciting things you’d do together become joyless. If you used
to plan exciting weekly date nights at local hotspots and they just don’t seem
into doing those sorts of things anymore, that’s a sure sign that they’re bored.
What’s the most exciting thing you’ve done
with your partner? Tell us quickly down below in the comments section!
They’ve stopped asking questions: When you’re with someone new, everything is fascinating. You can
talk for hours just getting to know one another. While that tends to dissipate a bit over time,
there should always be some level of curiosity — even if it's just about how their day was.
When your partner becomes bored in the relationship,
they’re likely to become less inquisitive. They’ll stop asking about your day,
or what’s new with you because they’ve lost all the excitement your answers used to bring.
They’re on their phone all the time: We are all guilty of looking at our phones too much,
but when your partner is almost always engaged with their screen rather than with you,
it’s a sign they're probably bored. This behavior can be better termed as “alone-time together.”
If your partner has become bored with your relationship, they may continue to spend a
a lot of time physically with you, but they’ll do things that they could easily do alone.
You may be sitting in the same room, but they’re scrolling through their social media feeds,
or listening to podcasts, rather than just talking to you or enjoying something together.
Alone time is important in relationships, but so is quality time together.
They don’t want to hang out with you: There’s really nothing wrong with hanging out with
others even in a relationship. However, when your partner is always at their friend’s
place - that could be a major warning sign. Your partner should want to spend time with you,
and if they’re purposely hanging out with others then that’s an issue.
Every relationship requires quality time, whether it’s long-distance or not.
That means both of you should create time to laugh, talk,
watch movies, listen to music, or share an activity. If your partner feels that
they’ll have a better time with their friends, they’re probably bored of the relationship.

You don’t have anything to talk about: When you first started,
both of you communicated practically every day and maybe you spent hours talking about anything
and everything. Now, your partner’s behavior is mysterious to you,
because it’s just unimaginable how someone so chatty can be so silent.
Maybe they’re going through challenges they’re not comfortable sharing at the moment.
If that’s the case, respect their wishes, but after a few days, try to initiate a conversation.
It’s easy to mistake the cold shoulder for something that may have zero to do with you.
However, if this relationship has grown to the point that you both share practically anything
and everything and your partner is holding back over time, that could be a sign of boredom.
They don’t want to connect with you physically: You can do a lot with friends,
but in a relationship, there are certain activities exclusively done with your
significant other. Part of being attracted to your partner is wanting to do those things.
If your partner is bored they’re not going to make any moves on you.
This can lead to physical connection issues that can take your compatibility from a ten, to a zero.
The connection feels forced: Physical connection aside when your partner is
bored in your relationship, engaging on any level will feel like pulling teeth.
Like, you'd literally rather be in a dentist's chair than go on a date with your partner.
Once you get to this level of boredom,
it's hard to come back from and it's not fair to either of you. Once you get to this place,
it's time to figure out whether the relationship is worth fighting for.
You always fight about the same things: When a disagreement arises,
it takes hard work from both parties to address and correct. Without intervention,
the same argument will continue to occur, leading to resentment. One partner might think the other
isn’t trying while the other feels they are being forced to change. Couples counseling
can assist those struggling with effective communication and recurring disagreements.
A therapist can also offer solutions to feelings of boredom within the relationship.
They’ve lost interest in trying new things:
How often do you and your partner try new things? If this desire to
share new experiences has faded, it’s likely a sign that your significant other is bored.
If your partner used to be open to trying new things, and now won’t,
it's a sign that they’re bored with the relationship. It might sound weird,
but you can become bored if doing something new becomes routine.
They are more annoyed than amused at your jokes:
When you first got into a relationship, everything about you amused your partner.
Now, it seems everything you do annoys them. That’s a sign of boredom in a relationship.
It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you, their interest has just tanked out at that time.
Most partners show their depleting interest in a relationship by being gruff, rude, or arrogant.
That doesn’t mean they don’t love you anymore, it just means they have lost
the zeal to laugh at the same old jokes. If your partner feels like being alone,
and you’re busy re-telling a story they’ve heard one hundred times, they certainly won’t be amused.
The only feelings they’re processing are irritation and annoyance.
That’s what happens when people are bored, nothing you do appeals.
If you’ve been noticing your partner acting negatively towards you,
maybe it’s time to reevaluate your relationship.

They don’t acknowledge your efforts: One of the pleasantries people in relationships enjoy are
compliments. However, when your partner becomes stingy with those compliments,
that may be a warning sign. Regardless of what you do, if they don’t seem pleased, impressed,
or at least vocalize their acknowledgment, then that’s a sign they’re getting bored.
They’ve become more sarcastic: Is everything you say accompanied by
an ironic smirk or a sarcastic statement? Sometimes, it’s unintentional, but they
can’t help responding with sarcasm because they are truly bored and feel disconnected.
Maybe you used to have healthy conversations before, but now,
all you can get after pouring your heart out is a sarcastic nod, smirk, or statement. It can
be really annoying. So, don’t relent to talk to your partner about it if this attitude persists.
Your partner doesn’t miss you: Usually when you go three or more days without
contacting each other, it’s normal for your partner to call up and check on you.
For some people, communicating every day is the norm and they expect nothing less.
But, if your partner doesn’t seem bothered by your absence, then that’s a problem.
Except if their phone got stolen or the network provider suddenly shut down,
a simple ‘How are you doing’ or ‘Hey you’ text would make you feel loved.
So, one of the reasons they’re not texting or calling could be because they have lost interest.
Time away from you may just be the space they need to think, de-stress and clear their head.
While being in a relationship is great, it is important to realize when things are not
working out. There are signs that can help you identify this. Learn more by watching:
