2. You Go Without Talking For Months

Communications is key when it comes to relationships. So, if you haven't talked for not just days or weeks, but months together, then you need to think about where your relationship is headed. If you don't express your desires and complains to each other, it can get very messy indeed. This happens usually when you are both aware that your talks are going to reach a sort of a gridlock, no matter what you do. So much so that you give up on it altogether.
