10. You eat a lot. Again, you are filling a void that your partner doesn’t fulfill.
11. Conversations are routine, monotonous and boring. “How was work”? “Fine”. No sparks there.
12. Settling in the relationship leads to settling in other areas of your life such as career goals, pastimes, and friends. Definitely a slippery slope.
13. You are never in a rush to get home.
14. You are jealous of other couples and inquire a lot about what makes them tick.
15. You defend your own relationship to yourself and try to rationalize why you are still with him.
If you see yourself qualifying for two or more of these signs it might be time to let that baggage go. There are 5 billion people in this world. No reason to tie yourself down to the wrong one.
