Warning Signs Your Partner Is “Quiet Quitting” Your Relationship
You’ve heard about “quiet quitting” in the workplace, but it also has context when you’re talking about relationships. It refers to someone who doesn’t want to have that break-up convo and instead just goes through the motions but doesn’t have motivation for the relationship to last.
According to CNBC, and psychotherapist Lia Love Avellino focuses on sex and relationships and she explained to “CNBC” that these people “don’t want to do the Big Leave” and instead “they want to express with their behavior what they can’t with their words.” Here’s her two signs that your partner is “quiet quitting.”
They’ve stopped advocating for their needs. If your partner isn’t telling you what they are felling and what they need, and especially if they used to do this a lot, it can mean they’re disengaged. For example, if they’re typically a jealous person, but haven’t shown any jealously lately, it could show a lack of interest.
They are unwilling to own their anger. They don’t have any open convos with you but instead act different then usual. Or things that they used to enjoy doing such as going out on dates or cooking, stop. “Their action is meant to dismiss the other person, but really they are feeling bad about their own needs not being met,” Avellino says.
