30 Body Language Cues That Show Your Relationship Is In A Mess (5 of 6)

Or, your partner is making eye contact all the time

Even though the lack of eye contact is a clear sign that something is not working in your relationship, too much of it isn’t good, either. When people are not interested in a person or thing, they would look away in any other direction for something or someone that suits their eye more. And since this is common knowledge, people try to overcompensate by making an uncomfortable amount of eye contact just to not be interpreted as being rude!

Non-dilation of pupils

A study in the Royal Society Open Science journal found out that when a person is attracted to someone, their eyes give it away pretty soon. This is because dilated pupils are a sign of attraction. So, if you are worried whether or not your partner is still interested in you, just look into their eyes and you will most likely get your answer.

Not giving undivided attention

In this modern age, we all are hooked onto our smartphones most of the time. However, when your partner purposefully looks at his or her phone only when you try to strike a conversation, it is time you have a serious discussion on where the relationship is heading, with your partner.

Making a lot of left-hand gestures

Body language experts rely on hand gestures a lot. When you’re talking to your partner, pay close attention to their hand gestures, and pay attention to which hand they use more to do so – left or right. Why is that so important? According to body language experts, making a lot of gestures with one’s left hand indicates that the person is uncomfortable with the words that are coming out of their mouth. For instance, rubbing one’s eye with their left hand is a clear indication that the person isn’t being fully honest with you, and you should not trust everything that comes out of their mouth.

Sighing all the time

Body language experts also place a great deal of stress on voice and intonations. The most important sign that something about the relationship isn’t clicking is when your partner makes use of a lot of non-audible noises such as pauses, sighs, and silences in every conversation you have with them.
