You may be coasting along in your current relationship but have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you're really that happy?

According to one expert, there's ten tell-tale signs that prove you're subconsciously unhappy with your partner and may need to break things off.

Rachel Maclynn, a psychologist and relationship expert from The Vida Consultancy, has shared the ten giveaway signs that it's time to consider calling time on your relationship... so how many can you relate to?

1. You've lost your sparkle: Your friends may be the first to point out to you that you just don't seem yourself. Being in an unhappy relationship can take its toll and if you aren't aware of what the problem is, your overall enthusiasm for life can become jaded.

2. You're easily irritated by your partner: You find yourself constantly rolling your eyes and tutting at the most insignificant things your partner does.

3. You go off sex or intimacy: Most people expect their sex drive to slow down once they are in a relationship, but if you feel no physical arousal at all when your partner gets close you, then there could be a more serious issue at play.

4. You find yourself wanting to spend more time alone: Unhappy couples gradually veer away from each other and rather than replacing couple time for time with friends, a sign of true unhappiness is spending an abnormal amount of time on your own.

5. You stop complimenting your partner: We tend to reflect our feelings onto others, so if someone is making you unhappy, you will subconsciously stop wanting to make them happy.

6. Your level of self confidence drops: You may find yourself questioning your level of attractiveness, because whether your partner know it or not, he/she is making you feel unhappy in yourself, which contradicts how a partner should make you feel.

7. You stop looking forward to coming home from work: When you're living with a partner who makes you unhappy, you'll subconsciously avoid being in that person's presence. All of a sudden spending a few more hours at work becomes more appealing.

8. You stop planning trips away with your partner: Planning for the future is something we instinctively do when we are in love.

9. You take less pride in your appearance: Do you find yourself not putting the effort in you used to to look good on a night out with your partner? You will also feel indifferent when your partner tells you that you look good.

10. You belittle your partner in front of your friends: When you feel unhappy in a relationship you start to lose respect for your partner, so shaming him/her publicly becomes a tell-tale sign that something is fundamentally wrong within the relationship.
