Relationships are like going to the gym. At the beginning, you're all like "oh yes, I've just joined the gym, I must now go and broadcast this across the nation, Mr. Worldwide ain't got nothing on me." Then, a few months down the line, you're more like "well, I've really put a lot into this relationship thing, perhaps now is the time to tone things down a notch or two... let's take some time off from the gym." It's no lie that relationships take work and some might say, too much work, so it's only natural that, over time, you slack off more and more. Here are some signs you've stopped making an effort in your relationship...
