As humans, there are days when we don’t feel the same about the people, we claim we love and that’s normal.

Feelings are fleeting so it’s natural that on some days you won’t feel the same about your significant other, but it’s important to know that breaking up isn’t always the best solution when you feel this way
Instead of leaving your partner, it will be better to do these 5 things instead.
1. Communicate: Open and honest communication is the foundation of a healthy relationship. Talk to your partner about your feelings.
Share your concerns and let them know that you’ve been feeling differently lately. This conversation can help both of you understand each other better and potentially find solutions together.
2. Reflect on yourself: Take some time to reflect on your feelings and the factors that might be contributing to your changing emotions.
Are there external stressors or personal issues affecting your perspective? Understanding your own emotions can be the first step in resolving them.
3. Counseling or therapy: Consider seeking the help of a professional therapist or counselor, either individually or as a couple.
Therapy can provide a safe space to explore your feelings, improve communication, and work through any underlying issues in your relationship.
4. Rekindle the connection: Take a trip down memory lane by remembering what initially drew you to your partner. Reconnect with the aspects of your relationship that once made you feel deeply in love.
Plan dates or activities that can reignite the spark between you two.
5. Give each other space: While spending quality time together is essential in a relationship, it’s also important to maintain individual identities.
Sometimes, taking some time apart can help you appreciate your partner more when you reunite. It allows both of you to pursue personal interests and regain perspective.
Remember that love can ebb and flow, but working through challenging times can lead to a stronger and more resilient relationship.
Breaking up should be considered as a last resort after you’ve tried to understand and address the reasons behind your changing feelings.
Also, remember to be always kind to your partner, especially during this period because feelings can grow again but the acts of mistreatment not be erased.
