Happiness is one of the pillars of a strong relationship. Never ignore your partner when he or she seems unhappy.
According to Elcrema.com, lack of happiness could break your marriage. Here are five signs your partner is secretly unhappy:
1. He/she spends most of the time on the phone
Most people turn to their phones when they are not happy. They tend to use their phones to avoid your attention. If your partner starts spending most of his or her time on the phone, she or he might be unhappy.
2. He/she becomes quieter than before
Your partner will become quieter when unhappy. She or he will look for a way to hide his or her true feelings. If your partner becomes quiet all of a sudden, it should be wise to find out what is happening to him or her.
The quietness can mean she or he is suffering from within.
3. He/she responds with one word
One word response means he or she is not interested in talking to you. An unhappy partner will make his or her responses as short as possible.
Do not show your anger when you get such responses because you will only make matters worse.
4. He/she no longer asks for sex
Sex is important in a relationship. An unhappy partner will not ask for sex. A change in his/her sex drive could mean he or she is unhappy because of one reason or another.
5. He/she becomes less affectionate
Does your partner show affection? Affection brings you closer to your partner. Lack of affection becomes evident when he or she is unhappy. Find out ways to restore your partner’s happiness when things reach this point.
