You like sweet, he likes savoury. Unless you can agree on chocolate covered pretzels, it’s not going to work.
2. You don’t have the same life-plan
You’re planning to move to the Big City to start a life-long career, he wants to travel and refuses to settle down. While you may meet again in years to come, you’re only going to resent each other if you prevent the other from doing what they want.
3. You don’t share the same interests
You’d rather read the book, he’d rather watch the film – and you don’t fancy doing either together. Your conversations are going to be coming from completely different angles.
4. Habits that you once found cute now annoy the hell out of you
The way they flick their hair over their shoulder when they’re angry was once endearing – now it just makes them look like a sulky brat. It’s not cute.
5. You overthink what you stay around them
You don’t feel comfortable to just blurt out the first thing that comes into your head out of fear of their reaction, and that’s not right.
6. You argue a LOT
You’re both constantly ready to jump down each other’s throats. It doesn’t matter what they say, you know there’s no way you can keep the peace if you ever disagree on something.
7. Being with them feels like a chore
When you finally agree on a movie to watch, you’re counting down the hour and a half until you can go back to that book that you like so much.
8. When you think about it, you actually dread being with them
You do anything you can to avoid spending actual time with them, because you feel uncomfortable and awkward around them.
9. You’re not bothered what your family think of them
You’re happy to bitch about them with your parents – you’re not bothered whether they like them or not.
10. You never leave the house together
Date-nights are non-existent. And neither of you seem to mind that much – it’s a way to get out of being together.
11. Your sex-life is dead
If you do have sex, it’s to tell yourself that there’s something still there between you, despite sex feeling like an obligation.
12. You don’t see your other-half in your future plans
And that doesn’t bother you. You can imagine yourself in 10 years time, but more often than not your partner doesn’t fit into that picture.
13. You never invite them out with your friends
For some reason, you think the mood would be dampened if you were to invite your partner out to join you and your friends.
Sometimes you simply avoid asking them because you know they wouldn’t want to join you either.
14. Your relationship isn’t equal
Whether that’s financial, revolving around house work or who makes more effort. While it shouldn’t be a competition, you should at least feel like you’re getting what you’re giving.
15. You’ve questioned whether you want to be with them
If this doesn’t ring alarm bells, nothing will.
