Are You Growing Complacent in Your Relationship? 11 Signs You Are and How to Fix It

Are you bored?

Are they bored?

Have you both lost the energy and desire to keep your relationship fresh and exciting?

The comfort of a committed relationship can easily give way to a complacent relationship if both people aren't actively involved in the process.

The monotony of daily life and familiarity can wear on us, especially if a relationship starts hot and heavy.

We also go through changes as we evolve together, lacking the energy, physical prowess, and focus that led us to a relationship in the first place.

Complacency is a common stop on the relationship road, but it doesn't have to be the end of it.

So there's this guy.

Maybe you work with him — or he's a friend of a friend.

Perhaps he's a handsome stranger you met at the local coffee shop.

Whatever the case, you think there's a mutual spark but aren't sure because he never asks you out!

You’re wondering: What are the signs a guy is confused about his feelings for you?

Don't worry, sister-friend.

We've got your back, and today, we're breaking down 19 signs he is denying his feelings about you.

How do you comfort someone who is hurting?

Maybe they lost a loved one recently and unexpectedly.

Or perhaps they’re going through a painful transition.

The thing is, you’re at a loss.

You don’t know what to say when someone is sad.

Even when comforting a friend or family member, you feel useless.

What if your silent presence isn’t enough?

Cheating is universally considered to be unethical, harmful behavior.

Relationships get damaged, and the cheated party experiences a loss of self-esteem.

If they do not end the relationship but decide to try to mend it and continue, they still have difficulty with honesty, trust, and intimacy.

But are cheaters insecure themselves?

It turns out there are many things the behavior of cheating can tell you about the person being unfaithful.

Right now, you feel as though you can’t trust anyone.

You’re still hurting from a recent betrayal, and the idea of being vulnerable again terrifies you.

So, is this it for you?

Are intimate relationships reserved only for other people — or for those who haven’t been hurt by someone they trusted?

Part of you refuses to accept that.

You want to believe you can learn how to trust someone again.

But what will it take to get there?
