When people first get into a relationship, the early days are nothing short of magic, and the lovers are all over each other, staring at one another with wistful eyes, and they have not a grain of doubt that they have finally met “the one”!

But then, months (or years) later, where there was stomach butterflies upon seeing each other, there’s an understated loathe and distrust, and maybe, one or both partners are no longer excited about having sex.

What happened?

Maybe, they think they look ghastly. Maybe, they are jealous about their partner getting close with their workmate. Maybe, they feel inadequate. These are major signs that the partner is trapped in the jaws of insecurities. If they don’t act fast enough to rid themselves of these insecurities, the love they once had for their partner will water down, and soon enough, their relationship will be tossed into the bottomless pit of failed relationships. 

If they are the type of lovers with a high threshold for pain, then they're in for a long and bumpy roller-coaster ride of negative emotions.The biggest sign that someone is insecure is a tendency to cling onto their partner.

This means that they will start following their partner around, never wanting to be separated, and when their partner is out there trying to get a life, the insecure person will take every opportunity to try to contact them. They are basically afraid of losing their partner. They will reach for their phone and text them, video call them, and send funny images and videos to them. The insecure person will expect their partner to respond promptly because any delay can cause them tremendous emotional pain. You would think that having someone chasing you everywhere makes you like them even more; but the opposite is true.

When a person acts insecure in love, their partner becomes frustrated, and in the beginning, they cannot make it obvious, but as the insecure person escalates their clingy behavior, their partner subtly starts to evade them, but then, it reaches a point and they become exhausted and they send out a strong and clear message: I hate what you are doing! At this point, the insecure person will literally be acting like a slave. Except, in this case, they have not been forced into that situation.
