When it's time to extend: Check with 10 signs

We have all encountered this situation: love once blossomed, but now we are not at all thrilled with our choice of partner. Certainly, the word love tends to become omnipresent, until you realize that you are no longer projecting small affections towards the person you are with.

Unfortunately, whether it's the power of Disney movies or the complicated capitalist scheme, we're all 'hooked' on the idea that we need to find true love in order to be with it for the rest of our lives. Therefore, it is very difficult to come to terms with the fact that a relationship has passed its expiration date. There is probably a fair amount of love in such a relationship, but it has now been transformed into comfort and convenience.

We reveal 10 signs that say just that, writes Marie Claire.

1. Make love less often

It's pure science – people want to make love with people they're attracted to. With those they are not attracted to? Not really.

2. Your partner is more of a best friend than a lover Society has taught us that our partner must be our best friend, but still, we shouldn't relax too much. If you start doing with your partner the same thing as you do with your best friend, without hugging, kissing and making love, you are walking down a dangerous path.

3. Certain habits annoy you When you're at the beginning of love, all those flaws and strange habits delight you, but later, during the relationship, they start to drive you crazy. If this is exactly what is happening with you and your partner's 'eccentricities', your love is probably faltering.

4. You are attracted to other people again When you are in the first period of your love, you usually don't take your eyes off your partner. However, if you now find yourself sizing up every attractive person on your way to work or flirting a little more when you go out on the town, you must be aware that your partner is no longer as attractive as he used to be.

5. You are not comfortable in the company of other couples When you're in love, you don't notice other couples publicly expressing their love because you're one of them. However, if at some point you get sick of their behavior, you are probably jealous because their relationship is better than yours.

6. Arguments are becoming more frequent Arguments and arguments from time to time are completely normal, but if you are constantly arguing, you know that something is not right.

7. Conversations aren't what they used to be When you are in love with someone, there is an unlimited amount of topics to talk about. Sometimes you can't stop talking. However, if the conversation starts to die down at some point in your relationship, it's a good indicator that your relationship is nearing its expiration date.

8. You feel like something is missing You can't immediately understand exactly what you're missing in a relationship... it torments and haunts you. We can only tell you that this is how every person who is not in a quality relationship feels.

9. You no longer see a future together At one point you must have planned your entire future together, and now you can't see yourself going out together next Sunday, let alone ten years from now. It is difficult to evaluate a relationship, especially if it used to fill and warm you. Still, it's probably better to know early if the person you're with isn't right for you.

10. Don't say I love you like I used to When you feel you love someone, you will say it. If you don't like it or you're not sure, you won't, reports Novosti.
