One of the most common reasons why men pick fights in relationships is because they–knowingly or unknowingly–do not feel like they’re getting their needs met inside of their relationship. Too often, relationships are ruined because one or both partners aren’t willing to be honest about their needs and make them known.

All strong relationships have three things in common, according to Meredith Hansen, Psy. D, a psychologist and relationship expert: trust, commitment and vulnerability. “Trust allows a couple to know that their partner is there for them, truly cares about them, is coming from a good place, and supports them,” she said.

Some characteristics of unhealthy relationships include:

• Control. One dating partner makes all the decisions and tells the other what to do, what to wear, or who to spend time with.
• Hostility.
• Dishonesty.
• Disrespect.
• Dependence.
• Intimidation.
• Physical violence.
• Sexual violence.

The truth is, that while it might seem like you’re arguing over nothing, this type of arguing is usually a sign of unresolved issues. If one or both partners has underlying anxieties or resentments about something, a simple misinterpreted comment can send them into defensiveness, and an argument will start.

If your girlfriend doesn’t love you anymore, she may still be telling you that she cares for you and doesn’t want to hurt your feelings, but she’s just not in love anymore. You need to make her feel a renewed sense of respect and attraction for you as a man.

Stress, depression, and anxiety could be reasons making your girlfriend not want to be intimate with you. For example, if she is under medication like antidepressants, this could be a cause for her low libido, which is a side effect of the drugs. Take time to care for her well being to get her back in the mood.
