If you think that functional relationships are not the worst thing, then it’s time to listen to the advice of experts.
Usually such unions exist without love, and the partners in them play some roles or fulfill what is predetermined.
Experts have named the exact signs of a functional relationship, noticing which you need to decide on a serious conversation.
Conversations are only business-related
In such cases, partners communicate strictly on everyday topics, financial ones, discuss responsibilities and can even plan something together.
But at the same time they remain far from each other, because there is no emotional closeness between them.
Emotional connection
We can talk about the presence of an emotional connection if partners help each other, sympathize, and are attentive to requests and dreams.
If there is no emotional connection, then there is no desire to make your other half happier.
Intimate closeness
This is the very case when a man and a woman become close in order to fulfill their duty.
There is no romance in such couples; they do not hug while sitting in front of the TV, do not hold hands while walking, and so on.
Problems
Usually a man and a woman pretend that everything is fine and have no intention of improving their relationship.
Some simply need to constantly move up a notch, while others believe that it is enough to live without quarrels and scandals.
Loneliness together
Even when doing something together, partners can feel isolated. They can't share their dreams, praise, thank, or show care.
If you don’t talk about this in time, the gap will become deeper and wider, and, as we know, the best years cannot be returned.
