Constant Blaming To Lack Of Mental Support, 5 Signs Of An Emotionally Distant Partner

Compromising in an unhealthy romantic relationship was common earlier. People adjusted to the fluctuating temperaments, moods and habits of their partners, but today we live in a different era. People compromise only to an extent, after which they are ready to call it quits, instead of holding on to a toxic relationship. An important part of being in a relationship is the emotional availability of your partner, which ultimately affects your own mental well being. What good is a relationship if you cannot share minuscule details with them, or not receive the care and support you crave from them. Emotional unavailability of a partner will ultimately lead to toxicity in the relationship and it is crucial to understand the signs early on – to either sort things out or part ways before things get sour. Here are some signs to identify whether your partner is emotionally unavailable for you.

Neglect: If your partner has time for everything under the sun but you, it can be a major red flag. While everyone deserves their own personal space, if your partner does not talk to you at all and does not return calls or texts, he may be emotionally unavailable for you. It is time for some corrective action.

No Mental Support: Growing up, we seek mental support from parents and in adulthood, we expect the same from our partners. Everyone faces blues in life and if your partner is not there to see you through them, they are emotionally distant to you. You need to talk it out with them.

Communication Gap: Being emotionally distant will inadvertently cause your partner to have less and less conversations with you.

Lack of Physical Intimacy: An emotionally distant partner will often also lead to lesser physical intimacy. Most people are no more physically attracted towards their partner when there is emotional distance between them. If you see your partner lose interest in sex, they are getting emotionally distant.

Constant Blaming and Complaining: A partner who has grown emotionally distant from you will often complain a lot, blaming you for the smallest of things.
