7 Signs Your Relationship Is Over And Cannot Be Saved
There's nothing left to save!
We practically grew up watching the happily ever afters in films but no one really shows what happens after the happily ever after. Who knows what happened to Raj and Simran from DDJL after we got onto the train? What about Rahul and Anjali from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? Once the honeymoon period is over and reality sets in, life gets tough and so do relationships. And while it’s okay for the spark to dull a little but if your relationship starts stressing you beyond the ups and downs, chances are that all is not well in your paradise. Fighting is healthy for your relationship but how much fighting is too much fighting? If you think your relationship has fizzled out and has run its course before you freak out, here are some signs that will help you find out if your relationship is beyond repair.
How To Know If Your Relationship Is Really Over?
1. Your Emotional Connection Is Broken
Do you find it tough to share your deepest, darkest thoughts with your partner and be vulnerable before them? Well, that might be a sign that your emotional bonding with them is over.

2. You Just Can’t Communicate
It’s one thing to fight a lot but it’s an entirely different thing to simply be unable to even communicate with your partner be it positive or negative. If you’re in a situation where you simply avoid communicating with each other, it’s done. There’s no scope for your relationship if you cannot communicate. More so if your only form of communication is aggressive and confrontational.
3. Physical Intimacy Has Come To An End
It’s okay if you haven’t been having sex regularly. That happens when your relationship is going through a down but if you don’t even do anything as simple as holding hands, hugging, cuddling or kissing.
4. Trust Is Missing
Relationships are practically built on trust and if you cannot bring yourself to trust your partner no matter what, then understand that the foundation of your relationship has shaken. And this will eat away at your relationship slowly.
5. Your Paths And Goals Are Different
If you and your partner want different things in life and your paths and goals don’t align, it’s impossible for the two of you to continue the relationship knowing full well that one person will have to make a huge sacrifice. For example, if one of you wants marriage and the other doesn’t, how do you meet in the middle without one person giving it all up?
6. You Don’t Share Happiness
We all tend to hide our sadness sometimes and now share bad news and our feelings with those around us including our partner. And it’s okay to do that sometimes but if you have stopped sharing all the happiness and good news in your life with your partner, it means the end of the road for your relationship. Essentially, this means that you either don’t care how your partner feels about it or you don’t expect your partner to react well or that you know they wouldn’t care enough.

7. Your Mental Health Is Down In Dumps
If your relationship is taking a toll on your mental health or your partner’s mental health, understand that it’s time to end that relationship. Love should never cost you your mental health and mental peace and if it does, it’s not worth it.
In case you’re still trying to hold onto this relationship, allow me to clarify that there is no scope for anything more left in your relationship. There is no saving it.
