Most people spend months or years loving someone, only fo find out out much, much later they've been loving the wrong person.
While we all want that beautiful relationship, it can sometimes be hard to decipher if you have found your soul mate or if your current partner is just stringing you along for their own benefit.
If you are ever in doubt, here are five pointers you can look at to determine
Signs You are in a Fake Relationship
It's all About the Sex
There is a very high sexual chemistry between you both. You have it hot for each other and can't wait to tear each other's clothes off, but that's as hot as it gets.
Your partner gets interested and loving when you give in to their sexual advances but erect a subtle emotional wall when you try to get closer emotionally.
You can feel their distance and they block every of your moves to get closer or take the relationship deeper than it is.
There is a clear lack of emotional intimacy between tou both and you know it.
You Can't See a Future with Them
And this is either because they don't discuss the future with you or deep down you know the relationship hasn't gotten to the level of seeing a forever with them and never may.
They Keep You Away From People That Matter in Their Lives
Someone who values and wants a relationship with you is eager to get you integrained into their lives.
They would want you meet everyone that matters in their lives and get upset if you're unable to.
Your Partner is Not Particular About Resolving Conflicts
Another sign you are in a fake relationship is that your partner is never keen on resolving any conflict that comes up.
To him, you aren't really in a relationship. At best he sees you as friends with benefits so going to the trouble of putting in some effort into what you both have, whatever that might be, is not something he'll be in a hurry to do.
You Are Uncomfortable in Your Own Skin
If you find you can't be youself around your partner, this might be a sign you need to evaluate the relationship.
Deep down, you know something is not quite right which makes you be at your best behaviour ALWAYS.
However, a relationship is not a relationship if you aren't even free to be youself with this one person that is supposed to love and accept you for who you are.
So what do you do if you find your relationship truly is fake?
You need to tell yourself the honest truth, which is the fact that you are valuable and deserve better.
You deserve to be with someone who loves and genuinely wants to be with you, not someone stringing you along.
In that veign, you should be bold enough to take a walk. Never be afraid to be alone. It is better to be alone and happy than to be with someone and miserable. And miserable is how you mostl likely will be if you remained in that relationship.
