People in relationships have the tendency to let themselves go.

This is a slow but definite killer to a relationship.

Naturally, people get comfortable when they have landed a reliable long-term partner.

Someone who is in love with you and you can rely on.

Unfortunately, with this safety comes complacency.

This is where a partner is getting too loose with their physical keep-up.

He is suddenly not going to the gym as often as he once was.

Eventually, he isn’t going to the gym at all.

Exercise was once a major component of his life, but since you got into a relationship with him, he hasn’t been as consistent.

Sooner or later, he stops exercising altogether.

Once this discipline wears itself out as he becomes comfortable in a relationship, his discipline with what he eats suffers as well.

He isn’t eating as healthy as he once was.

Despite a few kind but insightful comments about the unhealthy change in his eating habits, he doesn’t heed the warning.

At this stage in the relationship, he already knows he has you emotionally, so he isn’t worried about the prospect of losing you.

You love him, but as time wears on and he keeps gaining weight, you are bound to struggle with maintaining a physical attraction for him.

This ultimately affects physical intimacy with him.

When you do manage to sleep with him, his stamina is no longer what it once was.

He struggles to perform to your satisfaction like he once did and doesn’t seem to care either.

He gets off far too quickly, and you are left unsatisfied.

All of this is detrimental to the long-term health of your relationship.

Physical attraction in a relationship is very important regardless of how long you have been together.

Too many people in relationships get too complacent when they have locked in a long-term partner.

Although the negative effects aren’t immediately apparent, they do occur with time.

Finally, it hits you.

You are no longer physically attracted to your significant other.

When you look at him, you feel nothing but disgust.

The thought of sleeping with him makes you want to gag.

At this point, your relationship is on life support, and it’s just a matter of time before it implodes.

Maintaining an attractive exterior shouldn’t end once you are in a long-term relationship.

This goes for you too.

Letting go of yourself physically and gaining extra weight makes your partner susceptible to losing his physical attraction for you.

When you become complacent in a relationship, you are liable to not put out as much effort as you once did to look pretty for your partner.

Gone are the days where you are regularly getting your hair and nails done, applying makeup consistently, wearing the newest and sexiest lingerie, etc.

With complacency in the relationship, you take your partner for granted and only make yourself look sexy when you go out with your girlfriends.

Needless to say, this is a ticket to a sexless relationship.

A sexless relationship opens the door to cheating.
