A licensed therapist has shared the 'five signs you've lost interest in your partner'.

Guenther started out by using his degree in child and family development to now running his own private practice in the US.

In his spare time, he uploads short mental help videos to now millions of followers online.

Earlier this year, the professional took to TikTok (@therapyjeff) to reveal the 'five signs you've lost interest in your partner' and here they are:

Abandoning yourself

Not being a true version of yourself in a relationship could be a warning sign, Guenther says.

"When you start to lose touch with your authentic self, it's a sign something may be off in your relationship," he explained.

"Sacrificing your true desires and values and identity to keep the peace, or please your partner, leads to feelings of contempt and resentment.

"Relationship killers, as we say in the biz."

Lacking honest communication

Not being honest and open with your partner can lead to communication issues and more serious problems down the line.

Advert

"Communication is key to any long term relationship, and it's often the first casualty when complacency creeps in," he warned.

"When honest conversations and vulnerable sharing dwindle, it can be a sign that the connection is weakening, leaving room for misunderstandings and distance to sneak in."

No appreciation

"How good does it feel to be appreciated? Amazing, right?" the expert continued.

"When someone notices all the stuff, little and big that you do every day, it's an instant mood boost.

Advert

"If you can't remember the last time you expressed genuine gratitude for your partner's efforts, it might be a sign you've started taking them for granted.

"This lack of appreciation can erode the foundation of your relationship, leaving both partners feeling undervalued."


Not prioritising quality time

Guenther says quality time is 'the lifeblood of healthy, connected relationships'.

Advert

"If you're not carving out moments to be fully present with your partner, it can lead to feelings of neglect and isolation, life is busy," he adds.

"That said, when other activities and responsibilities consistently take precedence, it might be a signal that your relationship is no longer a priority."

Putting all of your needs on your partner

One of the best things about a relationship is that you have someone to lean on when you're struggling.

But putting all of your needs on another person could cause more harm than good.

"Hey, your relationship is not responsible for always meeting every single one of your needs," he said.

"It's just not going to happen. But if you're regularly looking outside your relationship to meet your mental, emotional, creative or physical needs, that could be a sign that you've given up trying to connect with your partner."
