You're both unhappy with each other.
Even when you're with your lover, you're lonely.
Your relatives and friends have commented on how sad you appear.
You have several desires in life.
You're fantasizing about a world without them.
It's starting to seem like falling in love with your lover is a work.
You are irritated by almost everything they do.
You have little or no empathy for them.
You've given up on them.
You feel worried, upset, and furious when you think about your relationship.
