Are you going to try and fight for it, or will you call it quits and call for a breakup? It’s certainly worthwhile trying to fix things if you can.
That way, you can be sure that your relationship didn’t just fall into a rut when you look back in a few years. There’s nothing worse than regret.
Here are a few ways you can identify the problem and try to fix it.

1. Journal and keep track
Keeping a journal will help you work out your true feelings over a period of time. We all go through rough patches and sometimes that affects how we feel temporarily. But a journal will give you the bigger picture.
2. Identify what you want in your future
What do you really want? Can you see this person beside you in your days ahead?
Spend some time thinking about your future and what you definitely want to achieve. If this person doesn’t fit in with your plan, maybe it’s time to part ways.
3. Tackle resentment quickly
Resentment is like a virus, it grows and infects everything and everyone around it. If you feel like you resent your partner, it’s time to work out why and try to fix it.
Communicate and try to spend more time doing things you love together. Maybe it’s just a phase.
Sit down and talk about the things that are important to both of you. What can you do to keep you both moving toward those values and to bring more excitement into your relationship?
5. Ask for outside help
Some couples find therapy a really helpful tool to help them move away from difficult situations in their relationship. If this is something you feel would help, don’t be afraid to reach out.
6. Don’t force it
In the end, if it’s just not working, you shouldn’t force it. In these cases, it’s best to walk away. Not everyone is meant to be.
