One clear sign your long-distance relationship is ‘doomed’, according to dating expert
You’re met with endless challenges in a long-distance relationship, but there’s one major sign that indicates it isn’t meant to work.
Relationship coach and dating expert Matthew Hussey revealed in one of his videos a telltale sign couples in a long-distance relationship should never overlook.
Dating expert warns against one sign in a long-distance relationship
Communication is key in a long-distance relationship or otherwise. However, if you and your romantic partner live apart for a long time, you should be certain of your future together.
Matthew says, that if your partner gives you “confusing answers” to simple questions concerning your relationship, such as ‘What are we?’, ‘Where do you see us?’ or ‘Are we exclusive?’, it’s time you reconsidered what you have with them.
If you receive confusing answers, the dating expert says, it’s a form of misdirection, designed to “take you away from the very simple truth”, which is the uncertainty surrounding your relationship with them.
Moreover, “avoiders” thrive on creating confusion, says Matthew. It’s the easiest way of getting their needs met by leaving you hanging, while your needs aren’t necessarily met.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, remember you’re probably being led on or are dating someone who isn’t as invested as you’re in the relationship.
Other red flags to look out for
The dating expert draws attention to more signs to look out for in a long-distance relationship to save yourself the pain and trouble.
One of the major red flags is when the words don’t match with the actions. Therefore, always ask if your partner is capable of taking the “next practical and logical action” in a complex situation to see if they mean what they said.
You should also pay close attention to reasons your partner may give for not being able to do what you’re willing to for the relationship. This proves how invested each of you is.
Needless to say, equality is non-negotiable in a healthy relationship. If you’re the only one willing to go to great lengths to make the relationship work with bigger compromises, then isn’t meant to be.
