A dating coach has revealed the five signs that your relationship is over and the spark between you and your partner is gone for good.
Paige Moyce, from the south east of England, took to her TikTok to help those who may be feeling lost in their relationships and left wondering whether they should leave.
She said that it is ‘very natural’ to be conflicted about this decision because you can love your partner, but still feel that it might never work out between you both.
Paige said the first sign that your relationship is over is that you are staying for a whole list of reasons but your happiness is not one of them.
‘Maybe you’re staying for the kids, maybe you’re staying because you fear being alone or you don’t want them with anyone else,’ she said.
‘Maybe you’re staying because you are scared of what it would look like to leave, or you don’t want to hurt that person.’
Whatever the reason, your own happiness does not come anywhere near the top of the list, or even on it at all.
The second sign is when communication turns into a conflict. Even when you watch your tone or pick the ‘right time’ to talk it seems to end up in an argument.
She said: ‘All this does is drive a bigger and larger wedge between you and this person. If our needs are not being met, then how long is this relationship going to last for?’
Paige added that loneliness is another indicator that the relationship is doomed, saying that people can actually feel more lonely in a relationship than out of one.

She added: ‘Just because we are physically with someone, doesn’t mean we are emotionally with someone. If you’re honest, when was the last time you felt special in this relationship? When was the last time you felt valued?’
The fourth sign that your relationship is over is that you have lost your sense of individuality because you have put your partner first.
‘You have put this person before you so many times that it is now normal to do so, but now you don’t know what you want,’ she said.
‘Because you have prioritised the other person, you are now left wondering what it is that you want, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed.
Lastly, Paige said that if you were given a magic wand with the option to leave, you would take the opportunity.
She said: ‘If someone could guarantee that you could get through it, that it wouldn’t be hell, that you would be happy again, that you would meet someone else and that would be confident again, you would take it.’
