These days, it is hard to tell the red flags in a relationship. You barely know when the relationship has reached rock bottom until it is too late.
Dating in the 21st century can be one hell of a roller coaster. You get to meet someone; the connection is valid and you decide to get together officially in a committed relationship.
Before you know it, there is some sort of withdrawal that gets to the point where you are dating yourself without knowing it.

Here are signs that show you are just forcing the relationship:
- Withdrawal from emotional connections
A solid relationship is based on connecting emotionally. You can tell when your partner is in distress, sad, or happy.
When you get to that point where you have withdrawn from that connection, honey, you need to go. It is the same thing for your partner.
When they could care less about how you feel, pack your bags and go.

- They don’t ask about your day
It could sound like something so shallow, but heck does it play a crucial role in building a healthy relationship.
If your partner rarely asks about what you have been up to during the day, it is a huge red flag that you are just forcing it.
It shows that they are not as invested in the things you do outside your relationship and that is not somewhere you need to be.
- Trust issues
Is your relationship one of those where you have to explain yourself almost every minute? Your whereabouts, your friends, phone passwords? Yeah, that is a red flag all right.
There is no solid relationship without trust, otherwise, it is not a relationship but merely an acquaintance. Trust is what keeps the two of you going. So, if it is not there, do not force it.
- You are always the one initiating quality time.
Quality time helps relationships to grow. Yet here, you are trying as much as you can to get just an hour with your boyfriend, and every time, he says he is busy.
It’s either work, or he is in a meeting, or his car broke down, or his dog fell ill. There is always something.
If it gets to this point, you are forcing your way through where you are not needed. So do not waste your time either.

- Begging for intimacy
Checkmate. Your partner will always want to be close to you and touch you without you having to beg. You should feel the love in the way they touch you and even the words of affirmation.
But jenny says that’s not what she does and you cut her some slack because you love her.
The sad truth is that she does not want you like that and you, my friend should get a move on it before it becomes too hot to handle.
