You’ve been in a relationship for a few weeks and you feel like your partner is no longer really interested in you? It’s possible and here are five reasons that can explain this sudden lack of interest.
At the beginning of a relationship, interest in the other person grows, we want to know the life of our partner in the smallest details…
But sometimes the soufflé falls and we observe a growing disinterest on the part of our other half, without understanding why. Five reasons can explain this turnaround, here are what they are.
It wasn’t love
Sometimes, at the beginning of a relationship, we get carried away quickly, we constantly want to see the other person… But that’s not really love. The initial interest fades and there’s no way around it, you’re no longer interested in him.The initial excitement and energy are gone. Sometimes, after doing their best at the beginning, the person withdraws into themselves as the relationship progresses.” explains psychologist Benjamin Armstrong, quoted by the website Secret Life of Mom. There is no point in continuing the relationship in this specific case, it is better to end it quickly.
You hurt him
Maybe you have hurt him/her without meaning to. It will then be impossible for this person to go back, no matter how hard he/she tries. Usually, this situation creates a rift in the relationship, which only pushes the two parties further apart.
The person has changed
Sometimes this turnaround is simply because your other half has changed.The person who loses interest in the other has changed or discovered certain things about himself” says Benjamin Armstrong.It can be very common for two people to start dating and then break up for no specific reason. They hit it off and the communication was good, but maybe one of the partners evolved and realized they wanted something else.” explains the expert.
Something else takes priority
Not everyone makes their relationship a priority. If work, or even a hobby, takes over, the relationship will take a back seat. It’s hard to find time to make the relationship evolve in this case.
He or she met someone else
Sometimes, especially at the beginning of a relationship, the disinterested partner has simply met someone else. This is probably the hardest reason to accept, but it has the merit of setting things out clearly. It lets you turn the page on your relationship, more serenely, by having the explanation for this disinterest.
