A problem many people in a long term relationship experience is wondering whether or not their partner is still interested in them.So why does this occur?Well, you need to understand that when two people first begin a relationship the excitement levels and the level of passion is extremely high.Both people want to spend every spare moment they have with their partner and they can’t stop thinking about them either.This phase generally occurs in the first few months of a relationship but sometimes it can last even longer, even longer than a year depending on the couple.However, eventually for one of the people in the relationship this level of passion and excitement begins to gradually decrease. This is a completely normal phase in a relationship and it’s simply because this person has become so used to the relationship that everything begins to feel normal and very comfortable.Many people who are on the receiving end of this will begin to wonder if their partner is still interested in them.They want their partner to still spend every waking moment with them but for the other person, they are not at this stage of the relationship anymore.Again, it’s completely normal.So if you are thinking that your partner is no longer interested in you anymore just because they seem ‘disinterested’ then you should think again because it’s quite likely that they have simply progressed to a different stage of the relationship emotionally.One of the worst things you could do at this point is harass them too because all this is going to do is put a sour taste in their mouth.Instead, take a step back and talk about how you feel with your partner. Most likely, they will simply explain to you the situation, where they’re at and you’ll see that they are still very much interested in you but express it in a different way.
